Hotel Museum
Via Tunisi 8, Rome, Latium, 00192, Italy, Rome, Italy
Why We Like It
This hotel is a great option for families coming to Rome. They can accommodate large groups, and there are various activities to entertain the little ones while you enjoy an aperitif on the rooftop terrace and enjoy the view of St. Peter's Basilica. Perfectly located next to the Vatican Museums, the location can't be beat, and prices are very reasonable for what you get.
Fodor's Expert Review
A stone's throw from the Vatican Museums, this family-run hotel offers good service and rates, with all sorts of perks. The decor throughout the hotel's lobby and common areas is a bit over-the-top, with Roman busts and statues, but there are spacious lounges, a tavern, and a rooftop terrace to make up for it. Two nearby Metro stops help you move about. There's even a recreation room with a billiards table and a piano.
Tip The hotel is very family-friendly as rooms are spacious and well furnished; many can accommodate extra beds.

Room
Rooms are outfitted with gold or taupe wallpaper and bedspreads. While furnishings are a bit outdated, beds and desks are comfortable, and there's plenty of room to store your belongings. Each room has air conditioning, satellite TV, and free Wi-Fi.
Tip Deluxe rooms have been recently remodeled.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are well equipped with towels and toiletries and well cleaned throughout. Blue or white tiles don't really stand out, and overall the rooms could use a refresh. Bathrooms with tubs have a lot more space.
Lobby
The lobby and hallways are full of Roman tchotchkes, with miniature bronze and faux-marble statues throughout. Walls are painted with bold Italian frescoes in a style that might be more appropriate in Vegas. And a leisure room has a pool table as well as kid-friendly TV and games. Front desk service is helpful around the clock.
Dining
Guests can enjoy a generous buffet breakfast on the panoramic terrace with beautiful views out onto the Vatican. There's a wealth of options including fresh pastries, omelets, and yogurts.
Drinking
The hotel bar is open throughout the day for coffee and tea. At sunset, you can take a cocktail out onto the panoramic terrace.
