Budget Hotels (2 & 3 Star Grade) Accommodation suitable for the leisure visitor found throughout Rome. There are few mid range chain hotels and at the moment no low cost budget chains in the centre. The majority are independent 3 stars. |
Luxury Hotels (4 & 5 Star Grade) Few large international chains are represented in the centre of Rome itself. Facilities and ambience vary enormously and room rates are highly seasonal. Most options are independent hotels. |
Apartments, Studio Apartments and Aparthotels A good range of studio, one and two bedroom apartments are available for short-term letting of a day or more. Spread thinly across Rome with some aparthotels. All are fully furnished. |
|
Single travellers sometimes have no choice but to pay the same price as a double/twin room. We have a separate page highlighting options across all hotel grades with rooms for one person. |

If you are a family or a small group it is possible to get larger rooms in most sectors. Choice is largest in the budget hotels, but we detail rooms for up to six people in all sectors. |
Hotel Districts |
|
A mix of hotel types available within walking distance of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. The Rione Monti district up the hill towards Termini Station has an authentic village like feel and is very popular. |
Ancient City Of Rome (Spanish Steps / Trevi Fountain) The old ancient city of Rome where the majority of what you came to Rome is located. The ancient buildings, narrow lanes with little/no traffic means nearly all hotels are small and with character. |
|
Termini Station is the transport hub for both local transport and to the airports. It has more hotels than any other and prices are very competitive, spanning all hotel sectors. |
|
On the other side of the river from the ancient city, the area around Vatican City has a wide range of accommodation, with a good number of small family owned Bed & Breakfasts. |
|
Perhaps the most exclusive district to stay in Rome. Many of the most expensive hotels in Rome are at the top of Via Venetto, adjacent to the parkland of Villa Borghese. |
|
Rome is highly seasonal. At peak periods rooms the centre is expensive. Choosing a hotel in the suburbs with good transport links and make dramatic savings for a small inconvenience. |
|
Parking is almost an art form in the centre of Rome, no place for a visitor not used to the tight spaces and double parking. Find a hotel with parking and use public transport to get get around. |
|
Rome Fiumicino airport is near the coast, west of Rome city centre about 25 kms distance. There is one hotel where you can walk to the passenger terminals and a few hotels with shuttles. |
