The best hotels in Rome
A selection of my favorite hotels in Rome, Italy
The Eternal City is a layer cake tracing 2,500 years of history, from ancient Roman ruins and medieval artisan quarters to the papal city planning and elegant palaces of the Renaissance, a slew of fabulous baroque churches, and some bombastic fascist architecture to top it all off.
Finding a reasonably priced place to stay in the throbbing, living heart of it all takes a bit of work.
Rome has hundreds of hotels; half of them are overpriced, another third of them are slung into the streets around Termini train station—nothing wrong with the area (anymore; used to be dicey), but it's a good half hour by bus or Metro, and 45 to 60 minutes on foot, from the historic center that you came all this way to see.
If I had a choice, I'd stay in the center.
note
I've inserted the HotelsCombined results for Rome in a frame below, but you may want to open it in a seperate window instea. Iif not, be sure to use a right-click on the frame—not the browser buttons—to control such browser functions as "back."You can peruse my subjective list of "Reid Recommends" hotels (two-dozen or so of my favorite hotels in every price range) or perform a wider search using the nifty aggregator below from HotelsCombined.
HotelsCombined is a mest-search engine, searching 30 of the top online booking engines (including biggies— Expedia, Travelocity
, Hotels.com—and smaller, better European sites like Venere.com and Booking.com) on your behalf, then weaving together the results into a single list—and, whenever a hotel appears at more than one booking engine, it tells you how much each is charging so you can pick the cheapest. Nifty.
