I think the clientele are people that want to stay at a place that is luxurious, cozy, convenient, comfortable with quality services. I personal like that place because it was not a big chain hotel and had a personal touch. This was my first time I stayed here.

Very nice hotel with amazingly peaceful atmosphere just 20 meters from Piazza San Pietro. Excellent location to enjoy Vatican. Very friendly personnel. Excellent value for money!

Since we had so little time in Rome, I chose this hotel for the convenience to the Vatican area. It is literally steps from St. Peter's square. After spending most of our vacation in a car and walking up and down hills and steps in the Tuscany area, we were more than ready to have the convenience of being right in the heart of Rome--mainly the Vatican area. Since it is an older hotel--which shares part of the building with another private residence- the rooms were rather small. We had two rooms-the triple for my 3 teens was just slightly bigger than the double and was tight for an extra bed. But since we were there only one night, we did not mind that. A longer stay would have been uncomfortable. They had a breakfast room( we did not have as we left early AM), a small room with free internet access and an area in the lobby for afternoon drinks. The building had a really lovely courtyard-like area. Beside walking out the door and to the Vatican and St. Peter's, we easily walked over one of the many foot bridges to Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, the Spanish steps and the Trevi fountain. Though on a map it may seem like the Vatican area and the Colloseum area are far apart, they really are not and can be walked to and from in one morning or afternoon--with many nice shops and restaurants along the way to visit. Get a good street map and you'll be fine. The staff recommended a restaurant close by and happily made reservations for us. La Barca (sp?). It was great but pricey. We splurged our last night in Italy, but there are lots of other's to choose from. Do some research beforehand.

Very convenient location to visit Vatican (It was a little difficult to find the hotel at first, though). The hotel has a historical atmosphere but has been renovated and very clean. Not so many restaurants around the hotel are open in August. The one the hotel recommended sereved us in a very unique style (there is no menu)...it was an interesting experience.

Best personel I have seen in Italian hotels for many many years: very friendly, helpful and accomodating. Will definitely stay there again. The peaceful atmosphere once one walks through the main gate is so relaxing, the daily reading from the Gospel one gets under his door every morning and the whole surrounding inside the hotel prepares you for the very short walk to the Vatican and is the start of the pilgrimage to the Vatican. The best for anyone who wants to visit the Vatican and live the relationship with God.

The staff is amazingly friendly and knowledgeable. My 7 days at this fine establishment - so near the Vatican - was a true delight. Not a single complaint....

The hotel Palazzo Cardinal Cesi is right next to the Vatican; however using the Metro Linea A or the bus system you can reach all destinations in the historic quarter easily. Our room facing a backstreet was as quiet as you can expect in Rome. The beds are on the smallish side - as was the bathroom - but very comfortable. The room was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. The personnel was friendly and offered an overall good and personalized service. The breakfast was o.k., however we missed the croissants the hotel is referring to on its website. All in all, we would return to the Palazzo Cardinal Cesi for our next stay in Rome.
