Bed was very comfortable, host was VERY responsive, room was nice and breakfast options were suitable. Within walking distance to everything you need, especially the Vatican City, the subway was just a few blocks away to take you to downtown Rome.
Really liked the security. All in all it was perfect!

Great Hospitality! I genuinely felt at home. It was very convenient to stay at this location due to the Piazza San Pietro, Vatican Museum and Cafeterias being at a walking distance. I would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful and affordable place.

Perfect place to rest after a full day
Was very close to a Metro stop and we felt very comfortable during our stay. If you rent 3 rooms, you'll have the entire place to yourself.

Although the building itself is older, the apartment was well kept and quiet even with the how busy the city is right outside. Very convenient location if you are traveling to the Vatican and is 2 blocks to the metro. Would stay again!

Cute and cozy. Amazing quiet location for visiting Vatican with restaurants and shops nearby. Bed very comfortable and clean nice bathroom. Breakfast limited but adequate. Initial entry a little confusing but after calling owner got in. Good value for the money.

Lovely room and staff!
I enjoyed my overnight stay in this beautifully decorated bed & breakfast. Toiletries and towels were plentiful and the owner and front desk staff made my stay and shuttle transportation to and from the airport seamless. They even had lollipops and colored toilet paper which matched the decor, which was a nice touch that brought me joy! The only thing is I couldn't get the TV to work even with the instructions left in the room. The owner should look into that, but other than that I have zero complaints. So glad I chose Le Cupole for my visit! Definitely check them out!

Great location. Livia helped us with things and booked a taxi for us to leave at 4am! as our flight was changed by whizz air!
Lovely personal touches from her like fresh cake and pastries in the kitchen, apples, fresh milk and juice in the mini fridges and bottled water! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic location, nice room
Great location right next to Vatican City walls, the host was friendly and super helpful providing fantastic arrival instructions and much made checking in straightforward.
The room was clean and had everything you would need, the breakfast and food in the kitchen lovely touch.
It is in slight need of a refresh but I would still stay here again

We were very pleased, especially with the convenience of this location. It was less than a 5 min. walk to the Vatican Museum and another 10 min. walk from there to St. Peter's Square. It was also conveniently located to the Cipro Metro station and bus stop. So if you are interested in using public transportation to get around Rome, this is a great location. This is a B&B, so expect to be sharing common areas with others. We had a 1BR w/ a private bath and access to kitchen facilities. The in-room refrigerator was stocked with some items and replenished during our stay. The unit was clean and comfortable. If we ever get the opportunity to return to Rome, we will seriously consider staying here again.

The room itself was nice. I had to schedule a precise time for arrival in order to gain access. While traveling, this is often difficult. I did schedule a time and the agent arrived 30+ minutes after our scheduled time. After a very long day of travel, it was disappointing to sit on my luggage curbside for over 30 minutes awaiting access to my room

Staying at Le Cupole in Rome met all my expectations. The check-in process was easy, and the neighborhood was great, offering easy access to the metro and numerous restaurants. Nicola, the owner, was an exceptional host, maintaining communication to ensure all needs were met and even allowing early luggage drop-off before check-in.
One thing to note is that if you arrive by metro, there is a large staircase to navigate, which could be challenging with heavy luggage. This didn't bother me, but my companion found it difficult. However, for those who work out regularly, it should be manageable :)

It can be misleading not to include the tourist tax in the booking price, In my opinion it would been easier and more correct to include this rather than asking guests to pay in cash at the accommodation. For us the tax was 6 EUR per person per night.
The included breakfast did not consist of food, but of cakes and sugar, no healthy options. I understand that this is not so unusual in Italy.
Other that that, the room included a bathroom and was part of a "apartment" with common kitchen and hall. Centrally located just next to the vatican. The room was cleaned each day, and it is a okay place to stay if you don't have to high standards. Wifi included.

Was clean and tidy and close to metro however before you book they should tell you its actually a apartment turned into 3 seperate rooms so the noise from other apartments in tge facinity can be pretty load at times high heels on marble
I understand this is out of the owners hands but some warning would be good. Also the owner wasnt there on on our arrival,we did get plenty of notice and instructions on how to check in. However i found it unprofessional to not have someone to greet guests There was a young lady on the desk but she seemed not to know much about the property. Also maybe a mention of the 81 step climb to get to the place from the metro this may not be suitable for someone with mobility issues luckily we found a different route cutting out the stairs
