At the upper limit of what I would deem "budget," the Hotel dei Consoli was a magnificent experience. A short walk to the Vatican; near countless restaurants; close to (Rome's notoriously substandard) public transportation; the Consoli is just about perfect. An obscure hole in the wall hotel, it nevertheless gives warm views in various directions, picturesque scenes of Roman life.... more

Having stayed in Rome before I was quite familiar with the area before booking Consoli. While there are tourists everywhere in Rome, this hotel was in an area which saw mostly locals. Having said that, a 1 minute walk brought you within a stones throw of the Vatican walls. The location was great. As with most hotels in Italy, especially... more

The rooms were small, but very clean. The bathroom was very comfortable. The desk clerk was always great at getting cabs for us and he recommended very affordable places to eat. The rooftop terrace allows a peek at the basillica's dome and is staffed by a wonderful man. He made great coffee,breakfast and tour suggestions. Walk to the Vatican and... more

This hotel is ideally suited for those who wish to be close to the Vatican City but still have easy access to the other parts of the City. The open top buses that tour the city sights stop close by and there are good public transport links as well as taxis in the nearby square. The hotel staff were all... more

The hotel was first class: everywhere spotless, classy decor, very friendly staff (arranged a bouquet for my wife on arrival), rooms cleaned promptly/daily and roof terrace breakfast with views of Rome/Vatican very relaxing. Prices very reasonable. We did... more

Luca is especially helpful and just very nice. he recommended a couple of restaurants - both expensive... more

This place was very classy. They have a computer for you to use for 3 Euros for one hour (you don't have to use it all up at once). Good sit-down style breakfast with free espresso (not instant) or tea. Good selection of food. Our room was spacious with a decent sized bathroom (shower door was a bit sticky). We... more
