XX Settembre

Location

In the Repubblica neighborhood near the Termini train station

Hotel XX Settembre is located in the Repubblica neighborhood near the Termini train station, which has a reputation for graffiti and loiterers. Repubblica is often not the Rome that people expect upon arriving -- it's not very picturesque and the roads here are paved instead of cobblestone. But in the last couple of decades the area has been improving. It is home to several centuries-old structures, such as the ruins of the Baths of Diocletian (ancient public baths dating back to 298 AD), the adjacent Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, and the Michelangelo-designed Santa Maria Degli Angeli.

  • 29-minute drive to Rome Ciampino International Airport
  • 53-minute drive to Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport
  • 4-minute walk to Santa Maria Degli Angeli
  • 6-minute walk to the Baths of Diocletian
  • 9-minute walk to the Termini station
  • 12-minute walk to the Opera House
  • 15-minute walk to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
  • 15-minute walk to the Trevi Fountain
  • 16-minute walk to Palazzo Barberini
  • 9-minute drive to the Colosseum
  • 10-minute drive to the ancient Roman Forum
  • 10-minute drive to the Spanish Steps
  • 32-minute drive to the Pantheon
