"In a former monastery that's still an extraterritorial part of the Vatican, this hotel (pronounced Paolo Sesto) enjoys one of the most spectacular perches in Rome."

"The Residenza Paolo VI might have one of the most enviable locations in Rome, as the hotel sits directly on Vatican City’s St. Peter’s Square."

"For those whom the Vatican City holds a particular significance, the position of the hotel, with its front-row view of St. Peter’s Basilica, couldn’t be much better."

Frommer's
"Literally across the street from Vatican City limits...old-worldy rooms feature tile or hardwood floors, heavy drapes, Oriental rugs, and quality beds, though standard guest rooms can be a bit “cozy.”"

Star Service
"Ostensibly a large B&B with a cheerful staff, arrivals have room to roam; common areas are spacious, and the lounge and recently renovated breakfast room are bright and well-appointed."
