10 Specialty lodgings in Rome: Best hotel deals for 2023

April 26, 2023 Venice Greaves

From ancient monuments and frocked priests to fantastic shops and avant-garde architecture, Rome's neighborhoods are as diverse as its multimillennial history. The Eternal City is a mosaic of pocketed areas vying to show off their must-sees - whether it’s haute couture or street art, fabulous food or medieval architecture. What makes Rome unique is not just the "open-air museum" lifestyle but the life itself. Every day, in every corner and every piazza, Rome smoothly juggles tradition, history, and 21st century change.

Trevi Palace Luxury Inn

I've stayed in hostels with more impressive customer service...

Reviewed By victoriadS4327DQ

How this is a 5 star hotel is beyond me. Rude staff right from the get go. Front desk never addressed us by our names. Charged us an extra 37 euro because we didn't't specify in our booking we would be two people staying... We booked the luxury suite ? We booked one of the best rooms in the place and they are charging per head like this is a night club. Also no assistance with luggage? We had to bring our bags up a steep flight of stares. No wifi in the luxury suite. The hot tub was COLD. Jacuzzi cover was covered I'm old crusty bird poo. Bed was not as advertised. We asked for ice, and glasses of wine, but we were told it was not possible... WORST OF ALL: We booked a transfer to the airport with the front desk the night before for 830am. The morning of, we confirmed 1h before that the airport transfer was booked. The transfer NEVER SHOWED UP. No apology from the front desk, no communication. Luckily I speak Italy and understood the phone call the front desk worker was having with the transfer company. The front desk worker never communicated the car wasn't arriving, I overheard his conversation. We had to scramble to find a texi. Truly shamefully. 5 hotel star...idk...

Good value for the money

Reviewed By 850clayw

just got back on the 10th of june 2022 had 5 days at the camp. Myself and my daughter arrived in the afternoon We had a superior bungalow with fridge. The room was very clean and all bedding and towels were present. The site was clean and tidy, pool was great. Used the on site restaurant 3 nights and did breakfast 4 mornings found it good for the money. Cant praise the place enough. Quite far from Rome and the busses and metro were very time consuming although you can buy a 24 hour ticket on site for all transport for 7 euros. We did do the bus and metro but opted more for taxis, to get to the Trevi fountain or the Vatican city budget about 20-25 euros each way, make sure you only pay what is on the meter plus tip if you wish, we did get conned by a couple of taxi drivers but in general it was a easy way to go if you have the budget. Rome is certainly a place to go if you love architecture and the shopping was good too. would recommend the site for families and short stays also dog friendly. We found the staff to be ok. We didnt experience too much noise but people were allowed to check in late at night. In conclusion we had a very pleasent stay and thought it was value for money.

It is located in the centre of Rome within walking distance to the Spanish Steps, key shopping areas and Rome's major cultural attractions. The superbly restored historic building offers guests a calm and welcoming refuge from the busy tourist pace of Rome, making the Domus an ideal base for pilgrims, groups, families and solo travellers alike.

High quality, central and friendly hotel

Reviewed By 971bctravels

This is a wonderful hotel in Rome. It is about 10 minutes walk from Termini or Republicca train/metro stations so very central. It is a boutique pilgrim guesthouse and whilst we were in Rome to visit many churches and the Vatican, we probably didn’t qualify fully as pilgrims but we were welcomed enthusiastically by the charming and friendly staff. The guests were all ages and nationalities and mix of couples, families and solo travellers. Our room on the first floor was a well sized double room with a huge bed. We had 2 double wardrobes so plenty of storage space. We had a safe and mini bar/fridge in the room, as well as iron/ironing board and hairdryer in the bathroom. The bathroom was plenty big also with a great shower plus free shampoo/shower gel and hand soap. The breakfast was included and is very good with plenty of hot and cold options - it set us up for busy days of sightseeing! There is a beautiful church that is part of the hotel and has daily mass there also. I cannot recommend the hotel and it’s central location, spacious rooms and friendly staff highly enough. We will be returning!

Arch Rome Suites

Very good choice

Reviewed By 226abbeyc

Stayed here in May, very clean and updated rooms. Be aware the check in is on the 4th floor! We stayed on the 3rd in a very spacious room with a large window opening to a alley, it was fairly quiet other than one night having some people walking down the alley and yelling. No screens on the windows so be aware during bug season you probably can't leave the windows open but the A/C worked great. Fantastic location within walking distance to all major attractions. Staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was simple but great, eggs to order, juice, meats, cheese, cereal, fruit, bread etc. Next visit I would rebook here.

This was a very last minute booking as we were waiting to see if the UK were going to put Italy on the quarantine list, they didn't so within 12 hours we had looked, booked and we were in our room here. For two weeks. Staff were brilliant, very helpful and arranged for a car to pick us up from the airport (also arranged one to take us back) as it was that last minute we couldn't pre-book one. It's about a 30 minute transfer from Fiumicino airport. Check in was from 2pm or 3pm but we arrived around 1 pm and everything was ready for us, very easy. Just a reminder of the city tax you have to pay on arrival at your hotel, i must admit i had forgotten. Breakfast was continental, good although the same everyday. Consisted of a choice of coffee, juice, cold meats and cheese, yoghurts, toast and criossants. It gave us a good start to the day ahead. Staff again were very helpful. It looks like, before covid, it was a help yourself but that had changed to a counter service but you could go back for more if you wanted. Our room was spotless as was the whole hotel. Main bedroom with a seperate bathroom with shower no bath, which suits me fine. There's a safe in room too. We were on the 5th floor and it consisted of a long corridor with rooms on the left and a long terrace on the right. The only room that has a private access to the terrace is the room at the end, room 501 which we rented solely because we prefer, if possible, a private terrace. Although with the other blocks and building over looking you it's not that private but we enjoyed it. Location. Slight problem but the good points first. Couple of minutes to the Metro, which was clean, tidy and efficient. 12.50 Euros each for a 48 hour ticket. Some decent restaurants with in a 5 minute walk, the Japanese all you can eat is great, Sushijun. We went twice. Take a 10 minute walk and there's more than enough to choose from, especially if you head towards Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica and pop down those side streets. 15 minute walk to some great attractions. Colloseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. All others are easily accessible via the Metro (apart from the catacombs, right rigmarole). Now the only down side, and i only mention it because it's not something that can be ignored or doesn't exist. We found Rome as a whole, dirty, smelly and scruffy but the worst part is your walk from the hotel to the Metro. In between there is a park and the area is full of homeless and drunks. It smells of human urine and excrement, in fact we caught one "lady" squatting next to the park wall urinating. It was midday. I have to emphasise that not once we were bothered for money, no begging at all, completely left alone and of course nothing to do with the hotel but it exists and nobody can pretend it doesn't. So after all that, yes we would still go back, and recommend, Domus Helena because the hotel itself is seperate from what seems the bigger issue in Italy.

La Design. Ata Experience Bed & Breakfast

Truly Speechless!

Reviewed By 848anishk

There are few words to describe our stay at this B&B. Even before we got to Rome, Alessandra and Massimo were incredibly helpful every step of the way. They both went out of their way to make our experience personalised and the best it could have ever been. Their Atelier is centrally located and thoughtfully designed. We had the opportunity to experience both rooms which are both unique and just incredible. There was no better place to experience Massimo’s passion for Roman history than on a night tour of Rome that he organised for us in a very special VW T2 Van. He has a true talent for story telling. Alessandra is talented interior designer and could can really tell the love she puts into the design of the B&B. They welcomed us like family and became such good friends. Would strongly recommend their place as the top place to stay in Rome- you will not regret anything!

This is a one star place, it’s not hotel it is cheap apartment and not worth the price! They put effort on the reception area only, the rooms are disaster. We couldn’t sleep because of the music in the bar at midnight. The beds mattress is not comfy at all. There is a weird smell in the room. The rooms are on different building. There is no reception counter and concierge. The place also not safe, there is no security, and any one can enter the building if the door is open. The building is very old. The only positive things that are the friendly staff and the location.

A charming boutique hotel in the heart of Rome. The location was spot on, we walked everywhere apart from the Vatican where we took a cab. Despite its central location the room was quiet and we slept so well! The decor was charming and room spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Al fresco dining at breakfast and a nice bar and wine selection at the bistro. Would highly recommend!

L'antica Locanda Dell'Orso

Inexpensive guest house in a prime location

Reviewed By davagib

Google maps gives a completely misleading impression. Their photo is of Via Zanardelli with the Appeal Courts in the background.. L'Antica Locanda is on a charming and narrow medieval street nearby. You are given a key to the outer door of the block and there is a lift to reception on the second floor which I only used on arrival as the stairs are comfortable. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. My room looked out over the street but had good double glazing. There is little traffic as it is not much more than one car width. Some noise from other rooms during the day suggested there might be a problem but I was untroubled at night and slept well on a very comfortable double bed. My bathroom was small but totally functional with an efficient shower. Going back to the map you will observe that L'Antica Locanda is approximately equidistant between St Peter's, Piazza d'Espagna and the the Colosseum. Piazza Navona is 3 minutes away. The Metro does not serve the centre. Using my 3 day Roma pass I did manage to use the buses, the Colosseum for instance is well served from the main stop on Zanardelli.
