HOTEL ALESSANDRINO, Rome

The hotel is located in a peaceful neighbourhood on a hill, a 15-minute walk from St. Peter's Basilica. San Pietro Station is a short walk, providing direct rail access to Roma Termini and Fiumicino Airport. The nearest bus stop (Gregorio Settimo) is a 10-minute walk, and the number 34 bus runs every 30 minutes until nearly midnight. The steep hill and winding alley leading to the hotel can be demanding with luggage; taxis from the Vatican or city centre cost around €12-€25. A staircase provides a direct shortcut to the main road and bus stop. The surrounding area offers several restaurants within 0.5 km, a local cafe, and a grocery store.
