About

St. Paul Palace Relais

St. Paul Palace Relais sits in Rome’s Ostiense district, a neighbourhood anchored by the 4th-century papal basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls. The hotel is within about 10 minutes by car from the Roman Forum, making it a practical base for exploring the city’s ancient core while staying slightly off the main tourist circuit.

The property offers straightforward comforts: air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, tea and coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi throughout. A shared kitchen and leisure/TV room add flexibility, and the paid airport shuttle helps with transfers. Check-in is between 15:00 and 20:30, and guests can store luggage after checkout.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you’re travelling with a pet, this hotel won’t accommodate them. The policy explicitly states that pets are not allowed on the property.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 20:30. If you arrive later, you’ll need to plan accordingly, as the hotel may not be able to receive you after that time.
  • Location is outside the historic centre — While the Ostiense area has its own appeal, reaching the Roman Forum or other central sights requires a short car ride, about 10 minutes. Public transport may be needed for many visits.
  • Moderate guest ratings — The hotel’s overall rating is 7.5 out of 10 across 778 reviews, with value scored lower at 7.3. While not poor, it suggests a decent but not exceptional stay for the price.
