Gardenia Suite

Good value for money and only 800 mts from Vatican City ; walkable and convinient

It was a great room unfortunately we were never notified that there was no air-conditioning and it was quite hot. They were fixing it but it would have been good to have known before we arrived. More than one hour on the.

Gardenia Suite is a lovely guest house! It's in a great location and and on a quiet courtyard. Our room was beautiful and very clean. In contrast to a B&B or hotel, there is no breakfast, but it's easy to get something quick nearby or store a couple things in the little fridge and use the electric kettle for coffee or tea. If you need a lot of assistance, the staff is part time as is common in many smaller places. That said, the staff is extremely nice and the owner is wonderful, and she will help to arrange cars to the airport and station.

My husband and I stayed at Gardenia Suits in mid-September, and it was fantastic. The entrance to the hotel is kind of offset from the street in a cute gated courtyard. It also helped to minimize the noise at night. The rooms were very clean and a bit more modern than what you might get in the city center. They try to be more energy efficient so they have the key card slot to turn the power on in the room. The only issue we faced with that was that the hot water doesn't last for too long. We learned to take faster showers. We had direct contact with the staff just before check in and during our stay, which was great. They are very kind and friendly. We used their airport shuttle service when we arrived in Rome. You pay the driver directly (its best to have cash for this). The hotel has a few cafes near by for a quick breakfast. There are two subway stops that are about a 10 min. walk from the hotel to easily get to the city center. There is also a nice laundromat near by that we utilized a couple times on our trip. Overall I am very glad we chose to stay at the Gardenia Suites while in Rome.
