Nice lobby. Our room was in need of refurbishing. It was in the old part of the hotel. Convenient to Vatican but not to other places of interest. 45 minutes from airport; fifteen minutes from main train station by cab.

The hotel is close to the Vatican, restaurants and shops. Although the room decor was outdated and the walls could use fresh paint, the room was clean and the beds were okay. For the convenience of being within walking distance to the Vatican, restaurants and shops, I would stay here again.

It's kind of a hidden treasure we found on a previous trip. Literally right outside the Vatican wall..you can see the Vatican from the front door. The hotel is on the opposite side of the vatican so it's a hidden treasure. All the hustle and bustle goes the other way. The outside doesn't do it justice. The rooms are really nice! The most comfortable beds we have ever slept on! If you are looking for a hotel near the Vatican and blocks from the subway, check it out.

Front desk was the WORST attitudes i have ever experienced. the internet was AWEFUL. the TV was TERRIBLE. the electricity kicked the breakers everytime we plugged something in. i will NEVER stay in a Star Hotel again. PERIOD! the only thing that was good was the maid service. Definately NOT a 4 star hotel. 2 at best.

I'd stay at the Michelangelo again. Quick walk to the Vatican, restaurants and public transportation. Room was large enough for two adults, big bathroom that was spotless. Breakfast was included and more than could have been expected. Bedroom needed updating-ceiling and walls had spots, but beds were comfortable.

This hotel was perfect for our needs. We stayed in 4 different cities in Italy and this hotel had, by far, the most spacious rooms. We rented the room with 2 queen beds. They were very comfortable, there was a large bathroom and plenty of space in the room itself. The hotel was very quiet at night as was the surrounding neighborhood. It's within walking distance to St. Peters Basilica (2 minute walk), Vatican City (10 minute walk) and other sites. There is an AMAZING gelato place around the corner called Capitan Cono...you MUST go! The staff was friendly, one employee was a little less on the cheerful side, but nothing that ruined our stay. The continental breakfast did not have that great of a selection, but that was expected. The No. 64 bus is right around the corner which takes you to the Colosseum, The Forum, Rome Train station, etc. Very easy to get to and super convenient to be by this train. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if I get the chance to experience Rome again!

The hotel was about a 5 minute walk from St. Peter's Square. If your trip is going to center around visiting the Vatican, this is the perfect location. We were able to hop out of the hotel and walk right over to St. Peter's square avoiding crowded buses, cabs (which can get pricey), etc. There are a few restaurants walking distance, decently priced. You can get onto several of the tour hop on/hop off buses from St. Peter's square so it's very easy to tour the main sites within the rest of Rome. Taxi ride to/from the train station is about 10-15 euros. You can arrange a car with the hotel to/from the airport for 47 euros, which is the same price as a cab ride to/from the airport. The room was a very nice size with great down comforters and your choice of 3 different types of pillows for comfort. Very clean, roomy, and a balcony view of the St. Peter's Dome. We would absolutely stay here again. A great price as well!!

Hotel had Air Conditioning, but it wasn't turned on. Opend windows OK, but maid service closed the windows, so when you returned to your room it was hot.

Starhotels Michaelangelo is literally within steps of the Vatican, and that was the reason we selected it. The hotel staff are very knowlegable and professional but also showed kindess to us as American tourists who don't speak Italian. The rooms were spotless and modern and were of reasonable size, particularly for the City Center of Rome. Bathrooms were far above average, especially for Europe. Excellent Value and Excellent Service. This place would be my first pick for my next visit to The Eternal City.

The Air Conditioning was turned off every night. In order to keep cool at night we kept the window open, but then we had to listen to street noise.

Overall, a very nice hotel right next to Vatican/St. Peter's Square. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Hotel was clean. Room was very comfortable, bed/pillows also comfortable. The breakfast buffet served was adeqaute but not excellent. Also, it was quite a walk to other sites in Rome, however, there is a bus that is conviently located that takes you there. Food from the restuarant/room service, food was generally very good, slightly pricey. Also, I'd advise not to use the mini bar, as they charge generously for beverages such as water, soda and a bill can rapidly grow.

Right outside the Vatican. Nice hotel with good amenities and breakfast. The location is super!

While this hotel is a hop, skip to the Vatican, the first room we were given (1) allowed for no movement; (2) was old and dirty. We were given a second remodeled room, but it was on the street and therefore noisy. We are convinced that the air conditioning is turned off during the night since the room became very warm. The hotel also gets our vote for worst beds. We turned the mattresses and found the pillow top was on the bottom. Turning did not help.

Located very close to St. Peter's square, 1 1/2 blocks from bus stop. Great location in a residential area. Quite a few cafe's and gelato/snack bars a block away. Small grocery store less than a half a block away. Great breakfast was included. Hotel staff was very professional. We had a great stay. Loved the view from our balcony.

Located literally outside of Vatican city, about a brisk 20-30 minute walk to Piazza Navona, Trevi, Forum, etc. We walked everywhere. Felt safe around the neighborhood, even late at night. Nearby hotel, we didn't find great places to eat. Better places to eat require some planning, since they're about 20-30 mins walk. We were on 1st floor facing alley way which can be noisy if you're a light sleeper. A couple of times, the bathroom had a funny smell (like stagnant water) which we resolved by putting a towel over the floor drain. The service was very friendly, professional and attentive. We were helped with a last-minute tour and transportation back to the airport. Many at the front desk spoke English, which is especially helpful since we don't know Italian.

Just 2 blocks from Vatican City in very nice neighborhood. Rooms are very large and baths are modern. Breakfast included w/room is excellent. All personnel are helpful and friendly. We WILL stay here again.

Hotel is in a prime location close to the Vatican. Service was excellant from the time we walked into the hotel until we left. The Breakfast buffet was great plus it was more than we expected. The hotel is run very efficiantly. We really enjoyed our stay

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two nights prior to a Mediterranean cruise. We loved the location. It was within walking distance of the Coliseum any many of the other popular tourist spots. The rooms were clean, but very small. In order to get to the bathroom from one side of the bed you have to side step to get between the end of the bed and the wall. I think our suite on the cruise ship was bigger. However, aside from the small room, we enjoyed the location and hospitality of the hotel. We would definitely stay there again.

Very close to Vatican, nice location,good service,breakfast .Near hotel exl.restarant recomended by barmen.But room is little too small.I will recommend to my friends.

this hotel was very accommodating. They had an excellent breakfast, nice room and good bathroom. Good location for the Vatican but a bit of a hike for other sites.

The most striking feature of the hotel is its proximity to St. Peter's - a block away. That puts it on many bus lines, but the subway is about a mile from the hotel. The hotel is a first class operation, with a knowledgable and competent staff who know their way around Rome and are happy to share that information. The breakfast buffet that comes with the room is superb, with great service and excellent food that will easily last until dinner. The rooms are relatively large, with tubs and separate showers (alas, of the European 2'x2' variety). If we come back to Rome, we will most likely stay here again.

Hotel is really good, I loved the fact that there are hardwood floors and not carpet. Shower is clean, great size room. Even though the hotel is located next to St. Peter's Sq. which makes it very convenient when sightseeing, if you are planning on going out at night, this is not the best hotel, the last bus to the area where the hotel is located is at 12am, and on a Sat night you can spend up to half an hour waiting for a taxi.

Highly recommend

This really is a lovely hotel and I would recommend booking a superior room as it was far larger than the basic room. Although the hotel is lovely it is a fair walk to anywhere other than St Peters though. We managed to find a bus to take us into central Rome but due to the one way system on some streets, couldn't find a bus back - which was when we really needed it.

Nice hotel, good location near the vatican, great for pilgramage

I would not send anyone to this hotel that does not speak Italian we found that any english speaking person especally coming from the US or the UK we found the staff to be very rude and not help full at all unless there was a Euro or two coming there way

Upon arrival, the staff was friendly and helpful. They helped to arrange a car service from the hotel to our cruise ship port destination (Civitevecchia). The room was nice, but smaller than we expected. The bed took up about 85% of the room. We ordered a queen bed, but I think the bed was smaller than a queen (probably a double) although they call it a queen. The shower was VERY small. If you weigh more than 225 pounds, this shower will be a problem for you. I am 6 foot 1 inch, 185 pounds and I could hardly reach below my knees without having to lift my feet up to my chest in the shower. If I were to completely bend over in the shower, I would be making out with the shower curtin. (sorry for that visual). The breakfast was very nice although the eggs were consistantly runny. (the breakfast buffet is plentiful but is exactly the same every day). eggs, bacon, cereal, fruit, coffee, bread, orange juice, muffins, etc.

We were quiet surprised at how nice this hotel was. Since the room rates were so much less than others in Rome, we were afraid it might turn out to be below average, instead we were pleased with our choice. Though not in the center of town, it was not a far walk and the cost of a taxi was much less than the difference in room rates. Our only disappointment was that the hotel handed us a brochure for the differnt tours and recommended we take the one the Vatican. Long story short on that...we got conned for several hundred dollars. Do not use the Green Line Tours recommended by the hotel.

A relatively quiet area but very close to all major attractions. This is my 4th visit to Rome and with tube/bus I have never been better placed for exploring whist maintining a quiet location.

This hotel was really great. Great location, friendly staff and comfortable nice rooms. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

This is a very nice hotel if you want to stay within a short walk of the Vatican. The room was very clean and comfortable but they were having trouble with the air conditioning. We were able to open the window so our room never got too hot.

The hotel room that we stayed in (1 double bed, 1 twin) was about the same size as American hotels, and the bathroom was very nice, so the size was a pleasant surprise. The people at the front desk were very helpful and took good care of us. There's a hop-on, hop-off tour stop just on the other side of St. Peter's square, which I would recommend because it's a great deal. Before you go, I would figure out a way to get from the airport to the hotel (the train is probably the cheapest), and if you are heading to the port, the train is also the best bet. We ended up spending a lot more money than we wanted to through the hotel for transportation. Other than a few rude waiters in the restaurant at breakfast, the stay was really nice, and when they say walking distance to the Vatican, they aren't kidding.

The hotel was great for the price and the amenities are fine for the vacation traveler. Only 10 minutes walk to the Vatican, and very good, reasonable restaurants within 5 minutes as well as self laundry. East walking distance to major sites of Rome for those willing to walk (allow minimum 1/2 day for each self tour).

We were very disappointed as I specifically requested a quiet room and was shown to a room on the street and across from the elevator which I declined. The hotel room was so small it hardly accommodated our luggage. I travel world wide, mostly with my husband and noticed a definite lack of consideration when traveling with a ladyfriend this time. The service in the hotel restaurant is noticably neglegent and untimely to women guests. I asked my friend to observe, as we dined there twice and she noticed the difference to male/female couples and to us. I will not recommend this hotel or recommend hotel.com as they did not see to our requests in either 4 star hotel I booked.

Even though I've been to Italy three previous times, being on my own (with no translator as I have had in the past)in Rome had me a little concerned about the language barrier. The staff at the Michaelangelo was very helpful and most were fluent in English, so no problem there. We arrived a few hours before official check-in time, but they had the room ready and we went straight up. The location is 2 blocks from the Vatican and I didn't see another hotel that was closer while on my walks about the area. We had a very early flight out and needed to be picked up at 4:15 AM after checking out. The clerk vey kindly took care of booking a car for us. We checked out at 4:00 AM and woke up the night shift clerk, but he was very helpful and kind, although a bit groggy....as was I. I would highly recommend this hotel. Seasoned Traveler
