Where is a good location to stay in Rome, Italy?

What is the best area / location to stay in Rome?

  • Am going to Rome for 5 days in April 2007 and was after safe / convenient area to stay in. Any recommendations for 2-3* hotels will be very welcome!

  • Answer:

    Alex's B&B. abbcare.com Cheap. Clean. Safe. Great Location. Basic. B&B 2 blocks from Vatican. 45-75 Euro (including breakfast). PERFECT! You won't get any better prices or people. Safe area. Just know it is only identified by a small brass address plaque on the wall. You can also get private car for 2 round trip for about 75 Euro from airportconnections.com. I used them. It was nice not having to worry about traffic or schedules in a large unfamiliar city. The driver gave us the senic tour there...no extra charge. I am female and walked around he area alone after dark. Maybe not the smartest thing to do in any city, but I did it...and survived. Wherever you stay, take a copy of the hotel address with you for the drivers. Sometimes they speak NO English. There is a hop-on hop-off bus for Rome. It may coast 25-40 Euro per person, but worth it. One leaves each sight every 15 minutes. You can catch each as you wish and know you are just on your way to the next sight. No guessing with maps yourself. No wasting time! Oh, if you have the slightest asthma, or allery to dust, mold, or mildew avoid the Catacombs.

Termini! There is the principal train station and also the most interesting thing to see. About hotel... I recomend you: Hotel Assisi.

I'll suggest you Eurostars International Palace hotel- via Nazionale no.46. It's a very well located one, just in the center of the city, in a very safe area and, at the same time, very close to the main beauties of Rome.

There are lots of small reasonable priced hotels around Termini Railway Station. Hotel Stella is a 2 stars hotel but it's clean, comfortable and cheap. It is located in the centre of Rome, a five minute walk from the train station. The service is also quite nice.

The best area to find a hotel in rome is the area that runs from the stazione termini to the centro storico (historic center). it isnt the safest area, but is full of decent hotels that aren't too expensive (relatively speaking). it has easy access to numerous buses and the subway. plus, you can walk to the city center (piazza venezia, colosseo) in 15 minutes...

Try to find a cheap hotel walking distance from Vatican City, you have to at least see that.

We always stay in the Parioli district. It's residential and very safe, a 20-minute bus ride away from Termini station. Read our Italy travelogues: http://www.thetravelzine.com Happy travels!

I hate to be so vague, but when we were there we stayed kinda in a suburb and it was cheaper and you sure did get to know the locals. Best vacation ever
