“Vatican Leone IV benefits considerably from its proximity to the Vatican and the metro, an undeniable advantage for visitors to Rome. While some rooms might feel a touch compact and show a bit of wear, the budget-friendly pricing makes it a practical base for short stays focused on exploring the city. In my opinion, it's a solid choice when location trumps luxury.”
