The Beehive Review

You won't feel like you're in Rome once you step foot into this hip alternative budget hotel. Rather, one might mistake it for a cross between a holistic center and a place that holds yoga classes. Started by a Los Angeles couple following their dream in 1999, the Beehive might be the most unique budget hotel in Rome in that it also offers hostel accommodations, a vegetarian caffè, a yoga space and art gallery with a garden, a reading lounge, and a few off-site apartments. It offers a respite from Rome's chaos, but is conveniently located only a few blocks from Termini. All of the rooms come with shared bathrooms (where, along with the facilities, you'll find handmade vegetable-based soaps and recycled toilet paper). There is a lovely little garden with fruit trees, herbs, and flowers. The Beehive offers complimentary Wi-Fi, but no TVs or air-conditioning (though rooms do have ceiling fans). If you would prefer your own self-catering apartment (with a kitchen and private bathroom) for your group or family, or if you'd just like an individual room in an apartment, the Beehive also has three apartments in the neighborhood that can be rented.
