About
74 Crescenzio House
74 Crescenzio House is a small three-star property on Via Crescenzio, a quiet street in Rome's Prati district. Its main draw is the location: Vatican City, St. Peter's Square, and a metro station are all within easy walking distance, and the historic center is about a 2.2 km walk from the property. The building itself is a low-key guesthouse with a garden and terrace, and the front desk is staffed during check-in hours (14:00–19:00).
The guesthouse offers a choice of guest rooms, deluxe doubles, and a junior suite. All rooms come with air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, and a safe, and the private bathrooms include free toiletries. Coffee and other drinks are available at the in-house coffee shop, and a shared kitchen is available for guests who want to prepare their own snacks. Wi-Fi is included in the rate.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hotel explicitly lists 'No parking,' so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby, which can be a challenge in central Rome.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 19:00. If you arrive outside these hours, you'll need to make special arrangements with the hotel.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a dog or cat, this property cannot accommodate them. The policy is firm, and no pet-friendly options are available.
- Overall guest rating is below the city average — With a 6.9/10 rating (from 325 reviews) against Rome's 8.7 average, this property scores lower on service and value — though many individual reviews are positive.
