Thank you very much for the stay, we loved it!!! The apartment is located next to the Vatican and very near to the top attractions in the city. The room was spacious and very clean. The room was cleaned every day. The entire Check in and check out procedure was easy, uncomplicated and very nicely organized. Our host Francesco, has been very accommodating and helped us with every issue and question almost immediately. He was very helpful and friendly. I’d recommend the stay to anybody wanting to visit Rome.

Loved staying at the Popes window and so glad I picked this place! The room was awesome, nice and big! and the entrance to the building was beautiful. The fact it was slightly on the outskirts to Rome but so close to the Vatican was PERFECT - lots of cute restaurants around and good touristy shops. Location was PERFECT with just the 64 bus to get practically anywhere. Francesco called me as soon as I was at the property and talked me through the place, also met with him whilst he was visiting the property and is EXTREMELY helpful and lovely. A big thank you to the staff for taking such good care of me <3 Would definitely recommend!

Nothing - everything was perfect!

This was not quite what I expected (expected more hotel-ish) but we were warmly greeted by a resident of the building. Popes window (Francesco) nicely accommodated our early arrival. Nice size room and super clean. It has a neighborhood feeling with small market, laundry, Gelato shop across the street.. Great resaurants on the same side of the street as hotel. Very important if you are not familiar with the crazy traffic. You are a 5 minute walk to the Vatican thru a pedestrian tunnel. We felt safe . We made arrangements with popes window for taxi to cruise ship. Taxi/driver was lovely.

Really great location, right next to Vatican. Everything is very much reachable by walking from here. Also several bus lines start right from there to take you to city center and around all sights. We had very good pillows and a proper hair dryer in our room which made the stay definitely much more enjoyable than in most other hotels - it’s the small things ;) Best Part was our awesome host, Francesco! He was exceptionally helpful, available for any kind of question throughout the entire time (not just during our time at the hotel/B&B) and helped us even far beyond with logistics planning to get to the airport in the middle of the night for an early flight!

Perfect room & facilities for what we needed (3 girls sharing) all had our own bed in quadruple room. We loved that we had a kettle - for our herbal teas! And that there was a coffee machine too. Loved the large window which we could open for fresh air. Great that we were on 2nd floor so could take the stairs, not a fan of old lifts! Francesco kept in touch & met us when we first arrived. He even had shower door fixed. Love the fact it felt like more of a self serviced room, than hotel. Perfectly situated near Vatican etc.

We loved everything. The room smelled very nice and clean and it was cleaned every morning. The bed is so comfortable. We were very lucky we stayed in the room with the balcony where you can the the Pope’s Window. The location is seriously great! With buses just on the other side of the street and the S. Pietro train station just a 5 minute walk. Francesco was great with us, always available and gave us some amazing restaurants recommendations! We would 100% go back!!

Liked everything.

I loved the space and its location! We were right by the Basilica and a short walk to the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. Additionally, the place is very close to bus stops to take you around the whole city. The nearby restaurants were very lively as well, making this trip very easy!

There were hidden fees we wish were included in the listing cost. We needed to pull out additional euros in cash for the tourism fee instead of paying it within our booking... hmmm. We know about the tourism fee, many places have it (ex: Barcelona) but nobody has ever handled it like that with us, they add it to the lodging cost and make it simple to submit payment. We were also messaged about this fee on the way to the place... so we felt a bit hustled. Other than that, the space was clean and I have little bad to say about the place.

Everything! The welcome started before we even arrived. Paola contacted us before we left Scotland to ask if there was anything she could assist us with in our arrival to Rome. She was there to greet us and give us informative information on local travel, eateries and the best places to get tours. The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed. All the essentials were provided for to make travel light. The location was in the heart of the Vatican City and we felt safe navigating around after dark. We booked this accommodation after reading fellow travellers reviews and couldn’t be more pleased with our choice.

nothing!

We had a wonderful stay at The Pope’s Window! The location is perfect, just a few steps away from the Vatican and right next to a bus stop. There are also grocery stores nearby. The shared kitchen had everything we needed, and the rooms were clean, cozy, and very comfortable. Our host Francesco was amazing!! He responded quickly to all our questions and helped us book a transfer to the airport We would absolutely choose these apartments again for our next trip to Rome!!!
