I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While its location next to St Peter's Square was fantastic, the room's proximity to the reception area made it noisy at times. The rooms were small, and I later learned that I was in a 'handicapped room. ' Despite the noise and size, the staff was helpful and pleasant.
