Marta Guest HouseEditor's Pick

Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors email this page

If you are looking for grandeur on a budget, the Marta Guest House is a great find. Sitting in the shadow of the Castel Sant’Angelo and the Vatican, this comfy pension offers homey accommodation at low rates.

The Marta Guest House has 15 rooms, each decorated in an individual style. Many rooms feature antique furnishings and quirky decorative touches. Curtains and bedspreads sport a shade of deep red and provide a nice contrast to the wrought iron furniture. The lovely tiled floors are original to the Marta’s building, and each room has its own distinctive pattern.

All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a TV, safe, minibar and a coffee and tea facilities. The quietest rooms are those overlooking the internal courtyard (ask ahead).

The bathrooms are clean and modern, and all are private (note in one instance the bathroom is located just outside the room). Most bathrooms have showers, but there are two bathtubs available (ask ahead).

The Marta Guest House sits on a side street just off Piazza Cavour, a convenient location for visiting the Vatican and the historic center. Note: The Marta can be difficult to find, as it’s tucked away in a large building just off the street and the signage is not clear. Look for the address rather than the hotel’s sign.

Breakfast is included in the rate, and Wi-Fi is free throughout.
