Hotel Julia
Via Rasella 29, Rome, Latium, 00187, Italy, Rome, Italy
Why We Like It
Hotel Julia is located in one of the best areas of Rome. Walking around the neighborhood you'll find classic sculptures are nearly every street corner, and you're steps from the luxurious Via dei Condotti shopping strip. While nothing in the hotel really stands out design-wise, the building is clean and cozy, with loving details like exposed brick throughout. Service is exceptional and the staff will do whatever they can to make you feel at home.
Fodor's Expert Review
This boutique hotel, situated on a small cobblestone street just behind Piazza Barberini and a short walk to the Trevi Fountain, offers clean, comfortable rooms in the center of Rome that won't break the bank. Housed in a 19th-century palazzo, guest rooms aren't oozing with character, but they're relatively spacious and clean, as are the bathrooms. There's free Wi-Fi, and honeymooners receive a complimentary bottle of prosecco or wine.
Tip Small pets are allowed here and dog-sitting is available for an additional fee.
