Accommodation in Rome

Standard hostel just beside the main station Termini. Been there in February 2011, staff was not too nice, "free internet" is limited to some 30 minutes or so and only available in some coffee shop at the other end of town. Internet in the hostel is not free of charge! Breakfast is included but only consists of a brioche and a coffee in a nearby café (which is nice since you'll meet many locals). No kitchen. Supermarket across the street in the station. Many restaurants in the area. Clean.

The Funny Palace Hostel in Rome is located close to the Roma Termini railway station. Friendly staff. At least one Raildude already stayed here overnight and can recommend this hostel. Prices and more information (exact details), as well as photos, can be found on the booking page (right button).

We booked a hotel near the Rome Termini train station, which was a good idea. In Rome it is better to pay a bit more for the hotel, instead a lower price - but then living outside the city center. A central location is a good starting point for excursions. This is extremely important, because in Rome you can spend a lot of time in traffic. The Hotel Colosseum is located just five minutes walk from Roma Termini station. And the sights are within walking distance. The rooms are spread over seven floors. There is a very nice roof terrace. The rooms are very clean. Shower and toilet are separated. The towels are changed daily. There is a safe in the room. The TV offers international channels. Breakfast was also fine (cornetto, cake, fruit, boiled eggs, sausage, ham, cheese, cereal, yoghurt, bread, coffee, juice ...) No restaurant in the hotel - but a lot around it. Check out until 11:00. A luggage room is available.
