Rough Guide
"The rooms of this small three-star surround an orange-tree-filled garden, making it feel far removed from the city."
Fodor's
"This ivy-covered, mansard-roofed, rosy-brick-red, erstwhile Renaissance-era convent is just steps away from the glorious Santa Maria in Trastevere church and a few blocks from the Tiber."

"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.”"
