I recently stayed at Hotel Relais Dei Papi and overall, it was a nice experience. The location was super convenient, just a stone's throw from the Vatican and plenty of great restaurants nearby. The rooms were tidy and comfortable, though my shower was a bit on the small side. While there were some miscommunications regarding amenities, especially breakfast logistics, I'd still consider this hotel for another visit.

The hotel had basic facilities but nothing too fancy. Wi-Fi was quick, which helped me plan my daily adventures. There were no kitchen amenities in the room, which was a bit inconvenient for snacking.

Overall, I would consider returning to this boutique hotel.
