A cheap Rome hotel in the heart of the city

1/2

If you want everything from your hotel: A super-central location, a unique view and a good price… you want the Hotel del Sole. It’s situated about a minute’s walk from Campo de’ Fiori and less than ten minutes from Piazza Navona. From here you can easily reach the rest of Rome’s tourist attractions both on foot and by public transport.

How does that location sound? Well you haven’t been up to the roof terrace yet (check out the photos below if you don’t believe us). You can have breakfast with views of the church domes and enjoy the scenery in complete peace.

If you don’t know where to go for dinner, you can do your research in the pleasant surrounds of the hotel’s inner courtyard, perhaps sipping on an aperitivo. Like we said, la Dolce Vita…

A cheap hotel in Rome just outside the city centre in the Ostiense-EUR District

1/2

Perfect for… those who want convenience and amenities without spending a fortune.

Do you think staying outside the city centre is inconvenient? That’s because you have never stayed at the Pulitzer Roma in the EUR district. Allow yourself to be immersed in this hotel’s chic, 70’s-inspired surroundings that give this place a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If, as well as all that style, you want the convenience of getting around easily, the hotel is very close to the Marconi metro stop.

This will take you straight to the Colosseum where you can snap a classic Roman selfie. If you’re tired after all that walking, head up to the roof terrace and plunge into the hydro pool with views across the capital… what more could you want?

A budget-friendly hotel in Rome close to the stunning Villa Borghese

1/2

Perfect for… those who love staying somewhere welcoming in the city centre.

The Lilium is one of Rome’s best-kept secrets: A small budget hotel in the Sallustiano district, a stone’s throw from Villa Borghese and Via Veneto.

What makes this hotel’s atmosphere so special are the rooms decorated in different colours, each representative of a flower, and the welcoming communal areas, adorned with big windows and little Art Nouveau style wrought iron balconies.

If you love a good espresso, take a look at the striking brass coffee machine that towers over the breakfast room. It isn’t just beautiful to look at; the coffee is so good it will give you the energy you need to take on all the wonders of the Galleria Borghese not far from the hotel.

A cheap hotel in Rome close to the Vatican

1/2

Perfect for… those who want their stay to be blessed.

Do you think that the highlight of your trip will be a visit to the Vatican Museums and to the Sistine Chapel, but just the thought of waiting in line puts you off?

Well you should choose Hearth hotel, located so close to the Museums that you can watch the line directly from your windows and choose the perfect moment to go. Its location right outside the borders of the Vatican City is not only perfect for exploring Rome’s religious side, but is also ideal for exploring its not-so-saintly side, thanks to its proximity to the Ottaviano San Pietro metro stop, which takes you to the other districts in the city. It’s like a miracle!

A cheap hotel in Rome close to Circus Maximus

Perfect for… those who want to explore the Circus Maximus and the Baths of Caracalla or see the giant Dome of St. Peter’s through a keyhole.

Close to Circus Maximus and the metro stop of the same name is this truly one-of-a-kind hotel: The Corner Rome, a sophisticated villa, kitted out in Liberty pop style.

If you appreciate the finer things in life, you are in just the place: aside from its sophisticated and refined design, The Corner sets itself apart with its kitchen and cocktails. Once you have seen the corner bar and lounge garden, you definitely won’t want to miss the chance to celebrate your days in Rome with a toast.

To finish the evening off properly, take a short walk to explore the famous keyhole, from where you can see the Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in all its illuminated glory. At such a short distance from the hotel, you have no excuse not to!
