Vatican City Hotels

CONVENTS: Hot Accommodation Tip

A hot tip for Rome travellers - even Rick Steves knows. Not many people know, but there are quite a few convents in Rome that make accommodations available to tourists. These accommodations are run like a business - not a "convent." Moreover, the nuns really don't care if you are Catholic or not - the curfews at many are now Midnight. They are the most inexpensive, and pristine facilities you will find anywhere in Rome or close to the Vatican.

There is a complete convent list including Historic Center on my ROME page

Here is a list:

Hotel Residence Aurelia: Near the Wall

We didn't stay in the Vatican of course, but our (Deb's family) hotel was just a short walk from the Vatican walls, but about a quarter of the way around from the front of St. Peter's. As we were walking around we noticed a queue for the Vatican museum most of the way and we decided that we would go there later in the afternoon, hoping that the queue would have gone by then (which it was).

I don't remember the name of it anymore, but it might have been this one. It was very convenient

Scott House: Perfect location

I did not exactly stay in the Vatican, but in Roma.

The location of the Scott House hotel is just perfect. It was only about 100 metres towards the Termini station (and the Subway station). Like this it was easy to make the trip to Vatican City.

The Scott House is a two star hotel with a friendly staff. In the building the hotel was located on the 4th and 5th floor, and nothing to worry there was an elevator.

The room looked very new, and there was a shower / toilet in the room and also cable TV.

Breakfast was included, there was also free internet.

For the first two days I paid 41 euro per night (mid season), and for the other two nights I paid 68 euros per night (high season began on September 6th).

The fantastic location;

The room was very quiet (there was a rock concert on the square in front of Termini Station, and with closed windows it was completely silent);

The friendly staff.

I spent 4 nights at a convent...

I spent 4 nights at a convent for The Dorothean Sisters whic is located across the street from the North American College for future Priests. If you know someone in residence at The NAC, the can request that you stay at the conventant.
75,000 Lire per night ( about 35-40 us dollars pending exchange rate. Cash only

Nice room, great view of Rome, hot showers and great coffee and rolls for breakfast. Only draw back is that you have to be in by 10:00 Pm or the doors are locked and you will get a stern look and lecture (in Italian) from one of the sisiters. Don't ask how I know that will happen??!!!
