Why We Like It

This no-frills, modern hotel is a great budget option for people looking for a great base to explore the city. The hotel is central to most major attractions, with major shopping and museums just outside the door. It's a great choice for travelers who want to spend their days exploring the history and architecture of the city without spending the majority of their budget on lodging.

Fodor's Expert Review

This recently remodeled hotel which opened in 2012 near the glorious Santa Maria Maggiore basilica and Termini station, has modern comforts and a great concierge—all at moderate rates. It occupies the top three floors of a six-floor building. The hotel's location is ideal if you want to be close to Termini without staying in a gritty part of town; there are also plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The concierge goes out of his way to procure reservations and special tickets for guests, and makes excellent recommendations.
