Delivery of crouissants each morning was very nice. Avalailability of tea coffee and other breakfeast or snacks were readily available was also a very nice addition. Location was within walking distance to some of the main attractions. Property felt safe. My only feedback would be on the mainfloor doorlock where is unique that a picture be made on how to use it.

I have never had such wonderful hosts/managers in my domestic and international travels of 45 years. Simone and Anette were there to make absolutely sure to make their guests feel taken care of. I am a social person and at a midday point they were both there with me and a small family sharing life experiences for 45 minutes. What a great experience. But there was a shy couple and our hosts were sensitive to their desire to just come and go quietly. With only four rooms they are only there for several hours a day but can be easily reached with a phone call. I was free to go to my daily plans after having my coissant and espresso. The fridge was available 24 hours a day for fruit, juice and yogurt. It is a rather simple place, but well stocked, 3 minutes to the Metro and very thoughtful extras. I cannot say more about my experience at Old Kitchen. So glad I found them! Bruce P.S. I made a one time mistake of leaving my backpack in a taxi. Simone was willing to call around to all the taxi complanies to find it. I said no because I had my most important stuff and didn't want to waste the last 36 hours of my vacation.

Our stay at the Old Kitchen Vatican was great. The area is safe . It is a 25min walk to the start of the major attractions . 10 min walk to the Vatican. 2mins to the metro. The area is full of cafes restaurants and shopping.The apartment has a shared entrance and kitchen which is stocked with bread fruit cheese and juices. Fresh croissants are delivered daily. Like everywhere in Rome the facilities are old but charming and extremely clean. There is an elevator. Annette and Simone are wonderful hosts. They answer in a timely fashion are considerate and fair. I would not hesitate to book again.

Simone and Anette are the best! They are not there 24h, but are super helpful from the minute we arrive at 12am until the day we left. What a beautiful couple! You can use the kitchen at anytime you like and we were always served the best croissants in Rome. The hotel is in an apartment block - 4th floor with a retro style lift, though the rooms are styled like hotel rooms. The room was fantastic, with great decor and character. Super comfortable stylish room, in awesome secure location. The location, transport by bus, taxi or train was fantastic. short walk to the Vatican. Extremely convenient location. We would definitely come back and stay here again!

Rooms are situated on the 4th floor in a beautiful traditional apartment block accessed via small traditional Lift. Spacious bedroom with good en-suite and a large kitchen area where self serve continental breakfast is available. ( And hot drinks day and night- with an excellent coffee machine!) Your choice of fresh croissants are delivered to the kitchen every morning! Bedroom decor and furniture is quite basic - traditional old tiles rather than carpet, open shelving unit as a wardrobe and the curtains could do with being upgraded- but I found this all quite charmingly original. The room is comfortable and warm (Feb stay- cold nights) with adjustable heating and good air con unit if needed- we just opened the window. Good quality sheets and pillows although, as seems to be the case in Italian hotels, the beds are quite firm! Situated very close to Vatican and just a few yards away from Metro from where you can easily and cheaply get to all other landmarks. We also managed to get directly from the FCO airport to the apartment on the train and metro -was surprisingly easy. The venue is in a less touristy area than the other side of the river but has good little cafes, supermarkets, shops etc immediately around it. The owners Annette and Simone were excellent at letting us know how to access keys on arrival and were very helpful by text message throughout. An immediate response to any queries. Overall good value and highly recommended.

The property is beautiful, once you get inside and taste the coffee and croissant for breakfast there's nothing to search of. Metro station close by, lot of restaurants around. The property is managed by Simone and Annette, we've only seen Simone and he is very nice, he would answer all of your questions and help you. Perfect place to stay for Italian vacation. What are you waiting for? do not hesitate, i highly recommend Old Kitchen Vatican Suites. Thank you Simone!

This is a great establishment to stay at. It is ten minutes walk from the Vatican and bus routes to areas if historical interest. Property is very clean and host was so helpful in terms of travelling around Rome in addition to anything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble and have a kitchen facility for breakfast which was provided was great. I would stay here without doubt again and have already recommended to friends and family

Perfect location for a stay in Rome. 20 mins walk from all the main tourist sites, but also right in the heart of the main area where locals go to eat so many many good affordable restaurants. Included continental breakfast is a big and lovely bonus. Shower plenty powerful. I didn’t fully get on with the bed but partner was OK with it (i know beds are very personal things!). Host was charming and kept the place spotless.

This was one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed in. It is basic but very functional, a great location and had a great layout. The staff was great and it felt like you were staying in a home flat versus a stuffy hotel. The value for money was excellent and I would stay her again if I returned to Rome and would recommend this hotel!
