Arrival

How self check-in works.

  1. On the day you arrive you receive a message with a link to complete check-in online.
  2. Once it is done, you are sent access to the web app.
  3. The web app opens the front door and your own room, for the whole of your stay.
  4. Arrive whenever you like from 3:00 pm, including late at night: there is nobody to wait for and no key to collect.

There is no front desk, so nothing depends on our opening hours. If anything goes wrong you can reach us on WhatsApp, and for emergencies we are reachable around the clock.

How your stay works

What are the cancellation and payment terms?

They depend on the rate you choose. You will see them during the availability search, before confirming your booking with our booking engine.

Is it better to book directly on this website?

Yes. For the same dates, the direct rate can be up to 20% lower than the rate on booking platforms.

Is there a reception?

No. You check in independently: your room is ready from 3:00 pm and, from then on, the web app lets you enter whenever you prefer, including late at night. During your stay, you can reach us on WhatsApp.

When can I contact you?

For information and ordinary requests we answer from 8 am to 8 pm. For emergencies we are reachable around the clock.

How do I get here from the airports?

From Fiumicino there is the direct SIT Bus Shuttle, which stops in the Vatican area, or the Leonardo Express to Termini and Metro A to Lepanto. From Ciampino, bus 520 and Metro A.

Step-by-step directions
