Hotels and places to stay in Rome

On FaceTraveler you will find 702 places to stay in Rome, almost all in the centre or a short distance from it. Much of what you will visit can be covered on foot, so the area you choose shapes your day-to-day.

Where to stay in Rome

• Termini and Esquilino. This is the area with the most places to stay. Roma Termini is the busiest station in Italy, the crossing point of metro lines A and B and the arrival point of the airport train. A good fit if you arrive by train or plane, or plan day trips. Bear in mind that the area around the station is busy.
• Monti. Between Termini and the Colosseum, with streets of shops and restaurants. It is one of the areas with the most choice and lets you walk to the Forums.
• Piazza di Spagna, Trevi and Via Veneto. Shopping streets, the Trevi Fountain and Villa Borghese nearby. You have the Spagna and Barberini stops on line A.
• Pantheon and Piazza Navona. The heart of the historic centre. The metro does not reach here, but you do not need it: almost everything is a short walk away.
• Trastevere. On the other side of the Tiber, with many restaurants and a lively evening scene. Tram 8 links it with the centre.
• Prati and the Vatican. Next to the Vatican, with wider, quieter streets and the Ottaviano and Lepanto stops on line A. A good fit if you plan to spend time at the Vatican Museums and St Peter’s.

Getting there and around

Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) Airport is about 30 km from Rome. The Trenitalia Leonardo Express runs direct to Roma Termini in about 32 minutes. The station is inside the airport itself.

The other airport, Ciampino, has no station of its own. You can take a direct bus to Termini or one to Ciampino station and a regional train from there.

Within the city, the metro has three lines (A, B and C), but it leaves out a good part of the historic centre. The usual approach is to combine walking, buses and trams. If your hotel is near a line A stop, you will have a quick connection to Termini, Piazza di Spagna and the Vatican.

When to go

Rome has a Mediterranean climate. The average in January is around 7.5 °C and in July and August 25 °C, with average highs above 31 °C. If the heat bothers you, spring and autumn are more comfortable for walking.
