The 13 Best Hotels in Rome for Every Budget (2026)

The splurge. Best luxury hotel overall: Hotel de Russie. A Rocco Forte five-star on Via del Babuino, between Piazza del Popolo (about two minutes' walk) and the Spanish Steps (about ten), with Flaminio Metro (subway) station on line A about four minutes away. Behind the hotel is a terraced garden laid out in the 19th century by Giuseppe Valadier, with the Stravinskij Bar opening onto it, and there's a spa. It's on our luxury page too, as the best all-rounder at this level.

It suits couples, first luxury trips and anyone who wants calm a few minutes from the shops. The catch is the price: a Superior Room was €2,330 room only for Tuesday 19 January 2027, on the flexible rate, plus a city tax of €10 per person per night. Ask for a room over the garden rather than the street.

Best five-star for families: Palazzo Ripetta. A 17th-century convent on Via di Ripetta, a few minutes from Piazza del Popolo, turned into a five-star with 78 rooms. The high-windowed rooms come in many shapes, including spa suites, duplexes and family configurations, which is rare in central Rome. There's a gourmet restaurant, San Baylon, on the fourth floor, a casual one in the secret garden, and the rooftop bar Etere.

It suits families and groups who need connecting rooms or a duplex, and couples who want a quieter five-star. The catch: Etere, the rooftop, is closed from 1 November to 31 March (see our rooftop bars page), and no rate is shown here for Tuesday 19 January 2027; check your dates on its own site.

4-star picks. Upper mid-range hotels with real character, from about €180 to €270 for Tuesday 19 January 2027. Best design hotel for the money: Chapter Roma. A 4-star with 47 rooms on a lane between Campo de' Fiori and the Jewish Ghetto, fitted out with a mix of local and international designer furniture, with a restaurant designed by Tristan Du Plessis and a terrace that opens in the summer season. Campo de' Fiori is about six minutes' walk and the Pantheon about ten.

The cheapest room, a Standard Double of 19 to 22 square metres, was €180 with breakfast on the website member rate, or €206 on the best available rate, taxes included. It suits couples and friends who want style near Campo de' Fiori and the Ghetto. The catch: the terrace is summer-only, and the area has no Metro.

Best for a spa without five-star prices: Hotel Lunetta. A 4-star with 30 rooms on Piazza del Paradiso, about two minutes' walk from Campo de' Fiori and six from Piazza Navona, with a 300-square-metre underground spa (Finnish sauna, steam room, treatments).

For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a Classic Double was €266.10 with breakfast and free cancellation, VAT included. It suits couples who want a spa after a day on foot. The catch: it's the dearest 4-star here, and there's no Metro nearby.

Best for the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, with the Metro at the door: Hotel Barocco. A 4-star with 37 rooms on Piazza Barberini, by Bernini's Triton Fountain. Barberini station (line A) is about a minute away, and the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps are each about eight or nine minutes on foot. Palazzo Barberini's gallery is a couple of minutes away.

It suits first-timers who want both famous sights on foot and line A for the Vatican. The catch: Piazza Barberini is a road junction as well as a square, so ask for a quiet room. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a 14-square-metre Classic Double was €233 non-refundable, city tax extra.

Best near Termini: Hotel Artemide. A 4-star with 91 rooms on Via Nazionale, between Termini station and Monti, with more than 2,000 Google reviews averaging 4.8. Repubblica station (line A) is about four minutes' walk and Termini, for the Leonardo Express to Fiumicino, about ten. It's on our where to stay guide too, as a Termini-area pick.

For Tuesday 19 January 2027 the Basic Double was €201.40 room only and non-refundable; breakfast is €14 a person. Know what you're getting: that room is 13 square metres with a 160 cm queen bed and no space for an extra bed. It suits travellers arriving by train who still want a proper hotel.

Mid-range: the best value in the old centre. Small hotels, several run by families, from about €130 to €190 for Tuesday 19 January 2027. Best value in the Centro Storico: Hotel Damaso. A superior 3-star with 39 rooms in a restored 19th-century palazzo on Piazza della Cancelleria, about two minutes' walk from Campo de' Fiori and five from Piazza Navona, run by a family of Roman hoteliers, with a panoramic rooftop terrace. It averages 4.9 on Google from 1,543 reviews.

For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a room was €185 with breakfast, non-refundable, taxes and fees included. That rate is Run of House, meaning the hotel picks the room; pay for a named category if you want a terrace. The catch is the usual one for the Centro Storico: no Metro, so it's walking or buses.

Best for a Pantheon view: Hotel Abruzzi. A family-run 3-star with 19 rooms directly opposite the Pantheon on Piazza della Rotonda, and the hotel's own claim is that it's the only one with a view of it. Piazza Navona is about five minutes' walk.

Read the room names. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 the cheapest room, €188 with breakfast and free cancellation, was a double in the annex; the view rooms are named 'with Pantheon View' and cost more. The catch: the Pantheon square is one of the most visited in Rome, and there's no Metro nearby.

Best in Trastevere: Hotel Santa Maria. A 3-star with 19 rooms set around a 17th-century cloister, a couple of minutes' walk from Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, with a 4.9 Google average from 1,304 reviews. It's on our where to stay guide too, as a pick for Trastevere.

For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a Double Room with breakfast was €174 a night non-refundable, with a two-night minimum. It suits couples who want Trastevere's evenings on the doorstep. The catch: Trastevere has no Metro (tram 8 runs to Largo Argentina), and it's where many of Rome's bars and trattorias are, so ask for a quiet room.

Best for the Colosseum: Hotel Lancelot. A 3-star with 61 rooms in the Celio, a residential district the hotel describes as quiet and green, about eight minutes' walk from the Colosseum and ten from Colosseo station (line B). Some rooms have a terrace or a balcony, and the cafés and trattorias of the neighbourhood are close by.

For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a 15-square-metre Twin Room was €160 with breakfast. It suits families and anyone with an early Colosseum slot. The catch: the old centre and the Trevi Fountain are about half an hour on foot, so you'll use the Metro or buses.

Best value near the Spanish Steps: Hotel Modigliani. A 3-star with 23 rooms on Via della Purificazione, between Piazza Barberini and the Spanish Steps, with an inner garden and one apartment in it. Barberini station (line A) is about three minutes' walk and the Spanish Steps about six.

It's the lowest rate on this page: €134 with breakfast and free cancellation for a Classic double or twin room for Tuesday 19 January 2027, city tax extra, or €158 for a Classic Double with a balcony. It suits couples on a budget who want a central base. The catch: the bathrooms have showers, not baths, and the cheapest rooms have no balcony.

Best for St Peter's: Residenza Paolo VI. A residence in the premises of the Augustinian General Curia, opened for the Holy Year 2000, about two minutes' walk from St Peter's Square; it describes itself as a 4-star-type residence. The roof terrace looks over the square and the Apostolic Palace, and some Junior Suites face the square too.

The smallest rooms are 13-square-metre French Bed Rooms, €187.20 on the website rate for Tuesday 19 January 2027; larger rooms needed a two-night minimum that date. It suits pilgrims and anyone with an early slot at the Vatican Museums or St Peter's. The catch: that entry room is small, and Ottaviano Metro is about 15 minutes' walk.

Budget. Best budget hotel near the Spanish Steps: Hotel Panda. A 2-star in a late-19th-century palazzo on Via della Croce, about four minutes' walk from the Spanish Steps, with breakfast included in the rate and some rooms keeping their old painted decoration. It's one of the oldest hotels in the centre, by its own account.

It suits budget travellers who'd rather spend on the location than the room. The catch: it's a 2-star with simple rooms, the street is in the limited-traffic zone, and no rate is shown here for Tuesday 19 January 2027 (breakfast is included in its rates).
