About
Hotel Il Cantico St. Peter
Hotel Il Cantico St. Peter is a 3-star property on Via Del Cottolengo 50 in Rome. The property description places Castel Sant'Angelo around a 25-minute walk away and highlights free Wi-Fi throughout plus a free private car park on site. Rooms run from singles to triples, with a superior double that adds a balcony; all listed rooms come with air conditioning and heating, and the wider amenity list includes soundproofed rooms, a mini-bar and garden furniture.
The guest scores tell a clear story: staff lead at 9.1 and service follows at 8.7, while the overall average from 423 reviews is 8.4. Written feedback is warm and consistent, with repeated mentions of a quiet atmosphere, spotless rooms and a practical location near St Peter's. Rates start from £45, which makes this a sensible mid-range choice for a Vatican-focused stay.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Staff are the standout — Staff score 9.1 and service 8.7, both above the hotel's overall 8.4. Written reviews echo the numbers, describing the team as friendly, polite and excellent.
- A genuinely quiet stay — Guests use the word quiet repeatedly, for the atmosphere, the terrace and the location. That calm is a real asset for a city break.
- Free parking on site — The property lists a free private car park on site and a paid airport shuttle, which makes arriving by car or plane easier to plan.
- Clean, comfortable rooms — Rooms score 8.1 and written feedback calls them spotless, spacious and comfortable, with air conditioning, soundproofing and mini-bars across the property.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- The General score is the weak number — General sits at 7.2, the lowest category on the card. The written reviews are consistently positive, so there is no single complaint to point to, but it is the one score that lags the rest of the property.
- Check-out is early and fixed — Guests must be out between 06:00 and 10:00. That suits early departures, but a relaxed last morning is hard to arrange; luggage storage is available on site if you need time before leaving.
- No late check-in after midnight — Check-in closes at 23:59. If your arrival into Rome is very late, the standard policy won't cover you and you would need to confirm arrangements directly.
- Slightly below the area average — The hotel's 8.4 average across 423 reviews is a modest step below the Rome-area average of 8.7. It is a small gap, but worth knowing if you are comparing purely on scores.
