Where
to Stay in Rome
Rome offers endless choices of accommodations, ranging from fancy hotels,
to small family run hotels and of course youth hostels. The older part of
the city if rather compact and easy to navigate on foot, so when you are choosing
your hotel we encourage you to choose on the basis of the amenities and ambiance
rather than location. If you intend to stay for only a night, you may want
to narrow the area to the very heart of Rome, perhaps a hotel near the Spanish
steps or Trevi fountain.
Hotel or apartment?
If you are only in Rome for a couple of nights, a hotel is probably the best
choice for you. If you're planning an extended stay, you should consider a small
apartment that you can go home and relax in and cook your own meals. (see
Hotels or Not)
We recommend … The Hotel Locarno
This cozy old style hotel is located in the very heart of Rome, near Piazza
del Popolo. The hotel opened its doors in 1925. Hotel Locarno has
66 rooms, suites and apartments with private bathrooms and all the necessary
amenities in a soft Art Nouveau style. The stylish small bar, open courtyard and caged elevator give the hotel
a uniquely charming feeling.
