"For price the best."

Townhouse

Affittacamere Guest House Glatimia

Rome City Centre

"Very good place to stay in Rome! Highly recommended! Walking distance to Vatican and Cola Di Rienzo."

Townhouse

Desk, soundproofing, iron/ironing board, free cots/infant beds

Borghese Executive Suite

Pinciano

"Marco was great host!! Good location to Borghese Villa park and some of the attractions. Across from a school or academy with choir music in evening which was a good fit for the Rome experience. More of a AIR BNB experience, I did like the little kitchen area and access to fridge freezer (that part was super clean well kept and stocked). AC worked great and hardly needed even with it being 38c."

Townhouse

Minibar, in-room safe, individually decorated, individually furnished

Trevi Palace Luxury Inn

Rome City Centre

"Great Location, many fabulous restaurants nearby. staff were friendly and courteous. Room was spacious. However, to be honest, it was a little too gruggie and probably in need of a deep clean or a paint makeover. Otherwise fine. "

Apartment

Vino e Oli Residenze

Prati

"Was super impressed with the hospitality here! Room/apartment was super spacious and well designed, location was awesome. 10 minute walk to the Vatican and 5 minute walk to the metro. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend to friends."

Aparthotel

Morin 10 Rome Exclusive Suites

Vatican

"Wonderful stay! The location is excellent and very walkable, with easy access to the Vatican and many great restaurants nearby. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend!"

Townhouse

Maison Risorgimento

Rome City Centre

"Very close to everything, no need to get a taxi or to drive for sight seeing. We could walk or catch the train easily. The apartment was clean and modern, and our host was excellent! The only slight drawback was that there wasn’t really any common area where we could sit and have a drink which was hard since we were traveling with another couple and would have liked to do so especially in the morning. That being said, we would stay there again, happily."

UNA Hotels Decò Roma

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience "

Hotel Quirinale

8/10 Good

"I stayed in room 406 for seven nights and overall had a mixed experience. The room—and especially the bathroom—was exceptionally clean, easily one of the cleanest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. The breakfast was also quite good and very substantial, which was a nice way to start each day. That said, there were a few drawbacks. The room temperature was consistently too warm, and it appeared that the heating and air conditioning were centrally controlled, as the in-room thermostat didn’t seem to have any effect. This made sleeping very uncomfortable. Opening the window helped with the temperature, but it introduced way too much street noise for sleeping, so we opted for the room being too warm. While the breakfast quality was solid, the selection was exactly the same each day. After a week-long stay, a bit more variety would have been appreciated. Lastly, the elevator doors close too quickly—almost immediately after selecting a floor—and do not reopen once they begin closing. This made entering the elevator somewhat challenging when multiple people were getting on. I got separated from my husband and I witnessed the same thing happen to other people when the elevator doors locked us out."

Ruby Giulia Hotel Rome

10/10 Excellent

"This is a gem of a hotel conveniently located within walking distance of the Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Spanish Steps, and Roma Termini—all within a maximum of 15-20 minutes on foot. However, if you have luggage, it’s better to take a taxi to the train station. We walked a few times for day trips, and the walk was about 15 minutes at most. As for the hotel, the staff was very attentive, polite, and courteous. The breakfast crew was always kind and friendly. The facilities were clean, with a lovely view from the terrace. I would 100% recommend this place; we were very satisfied with our stay. "

Hotel Artemide

10/10 Excellent

"Be prepared for a small but comfortable room. We made reservations for the rooftop restaurant, food was amazing. We got an older man as a server and he was very rude. Got our order and never came back for refills or touch our table. When he did come back we asked for bread while we waited and he never brought anything. He seemed bothered because they were about to close and we kept asking for things. Other than that, lobby staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very centrally located, walking distance to Trevy Fountain. It is also super close to the train station, and a bike/scooter ride away from the Coliseum. Definitely recommend! "

Domus Liberius

6/10 Okay

"Location wise the accommodation was relatively close to most attractions and I liked not having a physical key to access the property and room. We did, however, unfortunately have a strong ‘drainage’ smell in our room the entire stay. Additionally, there were not many plug outlets and none of the USB points seemed to work. The walls were relatively thin and so noise from other rooms/ bathrooms was also audible at times. "
