Vatican City, Borgo & Prati


This veteran two-star on Prati's main shopping strip is housed on two floors of a five-storey townhouse – reception is on the 1st floor (there's an elevator). It's not flash, but the modern, minimally furnished grey and white rooms are a decent size. Breakfast is optional at €5. The wi-fi only works in the communal areas.
