Bed & breakfast and 1 and 2-star hotel accommodation in the vicinity of Vatican City
Cheap bed & breakfast hotels around Vatican City are readily found just outside the Vatican City walls, mostly to the North and East of St Peter's itself.
Conveniently the Rome Metro (Line A) runs through the heart of this hotel accommodation district, giving quick access to the rest of Rome as well as a typical five-ten minute walk to St Peter's or the Vatican Museums.
Nearly all the hotels that are near to the Vatican are in an area called the Prati District of Rome.
The Prati district is a middle-class suburb just north and north east of the Vatican.
It is popular with budget travellers because of its affordable small bed and breakfast accommodations.
There are numerous such small establishments in the area offering relatively cheap and good quality accommodation.
What to expect from budget hotels and B&B's near the Vatican in Rome
The majority of B&B's in the Vatican area are just a handful of rooms and are family run. Rooms are comfortable, nearly always with air conditioning. Breakfast is invariably part of the deal and often can be served in your room. Many of these small B&B's will occupy one floor of a multi-storey building.
Although the area has a lot of these small properties, it has also got just as many standard three and four star hotels too. These are listed on a separate page for 3- and 4-star hotels near Vatican City.
The Prati area isn't the typical budget hotel district of a major city. It is a middle class area abounding in shopping streets less expensive than those found in central Rome.
The ancient city of Rome is walkable from the Vatican, although many buses are available. We have a delightful short walk from St Peter's Square to Piazza Navona opening up all the sights of Rome beyond.
