Any suggestions for a hotel in Rome?

Question

Traveling to Rome and looking for an affordable, classy place to stay for 3 nights near the main attractions. Not looking for a hostel or B&B.

Answer 1

There are many websites out there.

I found this one to have most of what anyone would be looking for.    http://www.ytbtravel.com/RobertFoster

because for the hotels there's a rating system both from professionals and travelers who've been there. They leave reviews to inform people of anything something crappy going on at the place or if it's a great stay. The site has most of the things on Juan2's site. I think YTB is cheaper though.

Check for yourself.

Answer 2

I use the venere.com site for booking hotels here in Italy. There are over 500 hotels for Rome in their database. You can use a map to sort for a particular district in the city you're interested in and then sort by price, guest rating,... http://en.venere.com/hotels_rome/#o=defa... The site has a lot of reviews by previous guests to get an idea of what to expect from the area, the hotel, and the staff.

Any of the central districts in Rome are convenient for sightseeing. The area around the Roma Termini train station is cheaper, but a little further from the sites. It is still walkable though, and there are good public transportation connections.

The Trevi, Colosseo Foro Romano, Pantheon, Navonna, and Piazza di Spagna districts, as shown on the venere map, are all within easy walking distance of all the major sights.

If you're looking for cheap and close to the attractions in Rome, a good option may be the Hotel Romano http://en.venere.com/hotels_rome/kolosse... It's very close to the Forum & Colosseum and within walking distance of two metro stops and the Termini train station.

If you're looking for something a little more upscale, the Hotel Regno and Hotel Cesari, both located between the Pantheon Trevi Fountain, are very good. Hotel Regno is a particularly good bargain. http://en.venere.com/hotels_rome/fontana...  http://en.venere.com/hotels_rome/pantheo...

The Capo d'Africa near the Colosseum is very nice, but may be more expensive than what you're looking for. It depends on what you consider affordable and exactly when you're going. http://en.venere.com/hotels_rome/kolosse...

A good option for public transportation in Rome is the Roma Pass http://www.romapass.it/english/lecard.ht... It includes free access to the underground, the bus system, some trains for a three day period and includes maps of the transportation. You also get free admission to a couple of attractions and discounts to others.

This is a good site for finding events around the world: http://www.whatsonwhen.com/sisp/index.ht... or there's the vatican website: http://www.vatican.va/

Answer 4

this is a fantastic hotel near to Piazza Navona but I'm not sure of your budget http://www.hotelenthusiast.com/autumn/Ro... I stayed in an apartment last time I was in Rome and though they were far better value. I used this company and was impressed with the place I rented. http://www.holiday-velvet.com/rome

Answer 5

Hotel San Francesco -- great location access to two major tram lines walking distance to Forum, Aventine, Campo de Fiori and most attractions. Stayed there for a week a couple of years ago

Answer 6

We stayed at Accommodation Planet29 a cheap place near Termini station with reception on the first floor. We really didn't expect that much from this little  hotel, giving the low prices (In January we payed 50 euro for a double with ensuite facilities).

Answer 7

The best Site of accomodation in Rome, not B/B but better than hotel is  www.SleepInRome.it

I'm an italian girl of Rome and all of my frinds use that.

Sorry for the bad inglish

We were in Rome in early November.  We stayed at the Hotel Alimandi Vaticano and we had a wonderful time.  The hotel is across the street from the Vatican, down the street from St Peter's Basilica and a 5 minute walk to the Metro which will take you close to any site in Rome.

If you go to www.tripadvisor.com,  it ranks all the hotels in Rome (over 1100) and this hotel ranks #1.  You can book it on www.nycerome.com.  Check it out below.
