About

San Peter Rome B&B

San Peter Rome B&B is a small, independently run property in a residential building near the Vatican. Reviews describe four keyed rooms around a shared kitchen, with host Irina on site and repeatedly singled out for being welcoming, helpful and easy to reach. It carries a guest rating of 8 out of 10 from 405 reviews.

The rooms are clean, modern and en suite, with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and a small fridge. A light breakfast is served in the room, and the shared kitchenette is set up for tea, coffee and toast. The location is the other main draw: guests put St Peter's Basilica about a 5-minute walk away and St Peter's Square closer still, with bus 64 passing close by for Termini and the city centre.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

  • Host makes the difference — Irina is named repeatedly in reviews. Guests call her friendly, helpful and accommodating, note that she waited for late arrivals, explained everything, and was reachable through the in-room phone at any hour.
  • Clean rooms with practical extras — Guests highlight spotless, modern rooms with private bathrooms, comfortable beds, A/C, a TV and a small fridge, plus a shared kitchenette for tea and coffee.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • More apartment than hotel — It sits in an apartment building with four keyed rooms and a shared kitchen, not a traditional reception, restaurant or lounge. That keeps things simple, but anyone expecting full hotel services should adjust expectations.
  • Value is a mixed verdict — The price from is £60, and one guest calls it very good value for money. Another, however, says the price feels high for a room in an apartment rather than a hotel, and the Value rating is the lowest recorded category at 7.4.
  • Shared kitchen is only for basics — The kitchenette works for tea, coffee, toast and washing up, but several guests note that they ate in their room because full cooking isn't practical.

“Everything about our stay was excellent. The rooms were practical and had private bathrooms, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the room included central heating, a safe and a flat-screen television.”

8Verified guest

“The hotel lived up to expectations. The location was magnificent, the staff very friendly and extremely helpful, and it was close to both a bus station and a train station. St Peter's Square was about 10 minutes away at a relaxed pace, and Piazza Navona's historic centre was also within easy reach.”

“One of the best stays of our trip around Italy. Irina, who runs the place, was welcoming and helpful — she waited for us even though we arrived late, explained everything, and even described the room in advance. The B&B was spotless. There was a light breakfast in the room and a small kitchen with utensils, so we could make coffee whenever we wanted. The room had a TV and air conditioning. Every room has its own bathroom, and St Peter's Basilica and Vatican City are just a 5-minute walk away. A nearby bus links to the city and the train station, though it can be busy, and the city tour bus stops in front of the Basilica. I loved it and would happily stay again or recommend it.”

“Irina was the best part of the stay. She was extremely helpful and accommodating — she even let me use her mobile phone for a local call. The location was excellent too, right next to the Vatican; I could see St Peter's Basilica every time I left the B&B.”
