Old Kitchen Vatican Suites

Location - Old Kitchen is the perfect B&B if you plan on visiting the Vatican and other sights in the area. It’s just steps away from the Metro and Bus stops and about a 5-minute walk to the Vatican Museums and St.Peters Basilica. The host was on hand when I arrived and explained how everything in the apartment worked. The apartment is on the fourth floor but there is an elevator. There are tons of great restaurants in the area as well as supermarkets and laundromats. Room - The room was quite large and comfortable with an open-storage rack, a television, a safe, two chairs and a small table. There were plug points near the bed (keep in mind that plugs in Italy sometimes differ from the rest of Europe so don’t forget to carry an adapter) The air-conditioning was exceptional. The bathroom was decent sized although the bath area was a bit cramped (but this is an issue all over Italy) Kitchen - The kitchen area is a common area for all guests at the B&B. There’s a fridge, a coffee machine, a kettle & toaster as well as breakfast cereal, tea, coffee, bread, milk, yoghurt and fruit. Fresh croissants are delivered every morning by the bakery nearby and they were delicious. There are also cups, plates and other tableware available for use. Wi-Fi was fast and consistent.

We have just returned from a 4 night stay. Simone, the host, was incredibly welcoming. He gave us great advice about how to get around Rome and where to eat etc. The breakfast, including fresh croissants from the local bakery, was incredible. Simone shopped separately to get non dairy milk for one of us. The room was spacious and comfortable, great shower! The location was ideal for eating and shopping locally or getting the Metro. Thoroughly recommend.
