Rome Hotel - Not near Termini

Hi,

We are late in booking our hotel in Rome for July. WE stayed at Sonya and Opera before and loved it but this time around we want to stay near Campo di Fiori or Patheon.

Any suggestions?

Also we are open to the idea of an apartment but would like something with 2 rooms, not 1 room and a sofa in the living room.

Thank you.

Hotel Teatro Pace is near Piazza Navona, a couple of blocks from the Pantheon. Hotel Smeraldo is a street away from Campo dei Fiori. Both are good and don't break the bank.

I stayed at Hotel Albergo Abruzzi in 2011 and enjoyed it. It is located right on the piazza where the Pantheon is. It can be pricey but we got a good deal by booking in advance. Otherwise if you're looking for apartments check out sites like vrbo.com and airbnb.com.

We are late in booking for Rome, end of June - want to stay in walking distance Pantheon neighborhood or around the Parliamentary buildings. Not too pricey? $150 range?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I don't know what the current rate is. We stayed at a lovely hotel in Rome - The River Palace Hotel. We could walk to the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, the Victor Emanuel Monument and the Fountain of Trevi. The hotel served us a great breakfast to start our day. The hotel offers two - free computers, off their lobby. We stayed at this hotel for eight nights, about three years ago. I hope you have an enjoyable trip.

Rather than calling or writing one hotel or apartment owner at a time, why not try a booking service like Booking,com or VRBO.com? I use these all the time since they pop up AVAILABLE properties for your dates, and you can specify your neighborhoods.

Not sure what your budget is but we stayed at Albergo del Senato this past September and loved it. It's right next to the Pantheon and we splurged for a room with a view of the Pantheon. We felt like we could reach out and touch the Pantheon. The views were incredible and the hotel was very nice as well. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and I would definitely stay there again. Even if you don't stay there, you should have a drink at the rooftop bar and take in the incredible views!

Here are a couple suggestions from Rick's 2014 Rome guidebook:

[$$$] Casa di Santa Brigida overlooks the elegant Piazza Farnese. With soft-spoken sisters gliding down polished hallways and pearly gates instead of doors, this lavish 20-room convent makes exhaust-stained Roman tourists feel like they’ve died and gone to heaven. If you don’t need a double bed or a TV in your room, it’s worth the splurge--especially if you luxuriate in its ample public spaces or on its lovely roof terrace (Sb-€120, twin Db-€200, book well in advance, air-con, elevator, guest computer, Wi-Fi, tasty €25 dinners, roof garden, plush library, Monserrato 54, tel. 06-6889-2596, www.brigidine.org, [email protected], many of the sisters are from India and speak English--pray you get to work with wonderful sister Gertrude).

[$$$] Relais Teatro Argentina, a six-room gem, is steeped in tasteful old-Rome elegance, but has all the modern comforts. It’s cozy and quiet like a B&B and couldn’t be more centrally located (Db-€210, Tb-€255, discounts if you pay cash and stay 3 nights or more, air-con, no elevator, 3 flights of stairs, guest computer, Wi-Fi, Via del Sudario 35, tel. 06-9893-1617, www.relaisteatroargentina.com, [email protected], Carlotta).

[$$] Hotel Smeraldo, with 50 rooms, is strictly run by an impersonal staff, but it's clean and a reasonable deal (Sb-€110, Db-€150, Tb-€180, buffet breakfast free in 2014 if you show this book, air-con, elevator, guest computer, Wi-Fi, flowery roof terrace, midway between Campo de’ Fiori and Largo Argentina at Vicolo dei Chiodaroli 9, tel. 06-687-5929, www.smeraldoroma.com, [email protected], Massimo and Walter). Their Dipendenza Smeraldo, 10 yards around the corner at Via dei Chiavari 32, has 16 similar rooms (same price and free breakfast, same reception and contact info).

I hope this helps some.
