Question

ROME, Hi whats best place to stay in rome to be able to walk to most attractions,?

Answer 1

Rome is huge and the attractions are really spread out - I stayed at the Hotel Ponte Sisto - We were walking distance from the Trevi fountain, Piaza Narvone, Travestere and right beside Campo di Fiore - The colleseum and the Vatican were just a short bus ride away - Huge City - loads of attractions - impossible to answer.............. Enjoy your trip........

Answer 2

We stayed in the Marriot in Rome and the only thing we had to do was catch 1 bus and we were right in front of everything

Answer 4

Everything is pretty spread out. I stayed near the main train station so I was able to catch the metro easily to all the main attractions.

Avoid the bus tour - its c**p. At night go to Trastevere to eat - its where all the best restaurants are and a really nice neighbourhood.

Answer 7

I went to Rome in April and stayed at the Hotel Regno. I have linked a site although it was not the one I used to book it - I can't remember which site I used.

http://www.hotelregno.com/en/index.htm

The hotel was mid mid-priced, but I would recommend paying for this hotel as it was so central. We were one street away from the Trevi fountain, and one street away from the Pantheon. The Colosseom was a 10-15 minute walk which was a pleasant walk as you can walk past the Roman Forum.

The only place that I would say isn't walking distance is the Vatican. Although my sister syated at the Hotel Tritone (which is just round the corner from the Regno, and she recommended it to me, but there were no vacancies), and she walked it - maybe she is fitter.

You can buy a ticket for the open top bus which is valid for 2 days (hop on-hop off), and this will take you to all the sights including the Vatican. I would recommend this, as they are every few minutes and you get audio commentry through earphones.

I had a fabulous time and would recommend it. I hope this has been of some use.

Answer 8

Vatican

Answer 9

Try this website. www.cross-pollinate.com.

They have loads of apartments in the centre and it is often cheaper to go down this route than taking a hotel in Rome (they are really expensive).

They also operate a 2 night minimum stay so it's even good for a short stay.

We stayed at Casa Primarosa from that site in October. It was a gorgeous apartment and felt like staying at a friend's home (without them there of course).

The service at cross-pollinate is very good. When we got to the house, we couldn't get hold of the owner (had written the phone number wrong) and they answered the phone at the office (10pm at night) and sorted it within minutes.

They speak English too which helps.

We walked everywhere from there and it is in a non-touristy area too so we didn't get ripped off at breakfast or anything.

I would definitely stay there again but have a look at the site anyway because they have lots of apartments right in the centre.

And.... at least when you stay in an apartment, you don't have a chamber maid banging your door down when you want a lie-in!

Have fun!

Answer 10

There is no one best place to stay.  One thing to consider is noise.  I like to stay as Casa Tra Noi, http://www.tranoi.it/English/Home/tabid/... , because of the quiet neighborhood.  It has easy access to public transportation and is only a 10 minute walk to St. Peter's.  I recently stayed at The Secret Garden near the train station.  It's  also near public transport, http://www.secretgardenrome.com/ .

I like to use www.venere.com to look for hotel rooms.  The maps are good.  

If you've never been to Rome the hop-on-hop-off buses are a good alternative to a group tour.  The information isn't perfect, but you aren't waiting on the person who has to buy one more t-shirt.  I travel to Italy every other year and used it last year as a quick transportation system to get to the places I wanted to go (which weren't always the tourist spot, but near it).
