Your choice of area in Rome has a big impact on your holiday. The city is large, the streets are busy and distances between sights can be long. A central area saves time, but sometimes costs more and comes with evening noise. The best-value way to book is with Flight Hunter.
The Historic Center
The area around the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain suits a first visit and those who want to walk to many sights. Prices are usually higher and the streets can be noisy. Check whether the room faces a main street and whether there’s an elevator.
Monti Near the Colosseum
Monti combines alleys, restaurants and good access to the Colosseum and the Forum. It’s central but feels a little less touristy than other parts. Proximity to the metro makes it easier to reach the Vatican and outlying areas.
Trastevere
Trastevere suits those looking for a local atmosphere and nightlife. The streets are especially beautiful in the evening, but not all hotels are close to the metro. Check the walking time to a tram or bus stop.
The Vatican Area and Prati
Prati is orderly and relatively quiet, and suits those planning an early visit to the Vatican Museums. It has metro stations, restaurants and shops. Getting to the Colosseum and Trastevere requires a ride or a long walk.
Termini and Esquilino
Around Termini station you can find accommodation at a range of prices and excellent access to trains and the metro. Street quality varies, so read recent reviews and check the exact location in the evening.
How to Choose a Hotel in Rome
Check for air conditioning, an elevator, luggage storage and public transport access. In historic buildings rooms may be small. Those planning a route in the center can combine our Piazza Navona guide.
The Right Choice for Every Traveler
For a first visit, the historic center or Monti are convenient choices. For nightlife choose Trastevere, and for train access consider Termini. Families usually prefer a quiet street and proximity to the metro over an address in the heart of a nightlife area.
