Best Hotels in Rome (2026)

Where you stay shapes a visit to Rome, as most sights are best reached on foot. The area around the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo has the grandest hotels: Hotel Hassler Roma sits at the top of the steps, Hotel de Russie has its terraced Secret Garden, Hotel Locarno has a celebrated bar, and Hotel Eden in the Ludovisi quarter is known for its rooftop dining. These are the choice for a special trip, with prices to match.

For the historic centre at more moderate prices, Hotel Campo de' Fiori and Hotel Ponte Sisto put Piazza Navona and Trastevere within a short walk, and Hotel Santa Maria offers a quiet cloister in the heart of Trastevere, where evenings are lively. Near Termini, Hotel Artemide on Via Nazionale is practical for train arrivals, and two hostels suit budget travellers: The Beehive, small and calm, and YellowSquare Rome, sociable and busy. Book early for spring and autumn, ask about street noise in central areas, and remember that Rome charges a city tax per person per night, paid at the hotel.
