Alimandi Viale Vaticano

( 2 stars , Rome , Italy )

+ Staff wonderful and friendly; excellent breakfast and location.

+ Very welcoming staff - nothing was too much trouble for them excellent breakfast - plenty of good quality food and even a few treats for the children.b

The hotel was fantastic! The staff were friendly and helpful, recommending good restaurants and advice on where to go. The breakfast was exceptional, in particular the crepes and omelettes! I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

+ Helpful friendly staff and the hotel was spotlessly clean. The breakfast served was excellent.

Amazing location if you want to do the Vatican Tour from the viale vatticano entrance - literally across the road. Not an ideal location for the famous shopping of via Frattini etc..this requires transportation to get there. Rooms were fantastically clean and spacious and staff were mainly very accommodating. Unfortunately the SKY system was not working while we stayed and it was difficult to keep our 6year old entertained all evening in the room (weather in Rome was bad so we did not venture out). We also had additional party members arriving at 9pm and they were told at the desk that they could ordere dinner in the restaurant. They left bags to their room and then we went down to the restaurant to eat. We were told it had closed and they could not take our order. Overall a good stay with a few hic-cups!!

+ Great breakfast

+ the wide range of choices at breakfast and the quality of the food

Family of 4 stayed at Alimandi for the 2nd time in 7/07. Stayed previously in 7/05. Came back a 2nd time because it is a top notcjh hotel. Convenience to the Vatican can not be beat. Our family had the best room which has a private balcony looking out onto the street where you can see the tourists lining up in front of the entrance to the Vativan Museum. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, internet available in lobby, free breakfast which is outstanding. If we go back to Rome for a 3rd time we would stay again at hte Alimandi Vaticano. Convenient to transportation (walking distance). Some of the tourist sites are a little out of the way with the exception of the Vatican but the price, service and overall hotel experience outweighs that. Excellent hotel, great value.

+ Very helpful staff.

Splendid location, right across from the Vatican. Very helpful and friendly staff. However the room was *very* hot, despite efforts by staff to turn the heating down - are the Italians terrified of the cold in January?!
