Cordial staff, with Enrique singled out by name for his warmth, a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival (red or white, your choice), a classic European breakfast, a charmingly vintage lift, and old-fashioned lock-and-key rooms that are compact and dated but spotlessly clean, all within a five-minute stroll of the Vatican, make Hotel Emmaus a thoroughly convenient and unpretentious Roman base for travellers who spend their days out exploring rather than lingering indoors.
