Most Romantic Hotels in Repubblica and Termini, Rome

Yes, four-pearl Artemide's prices are higher than those of its nearby competitors. With the higher rates, though, comes a renovated spa, complete with indoor pools, sauna, and massage room. There's a large free breakfast, a popular rooftop bar and restaurant, and free minibars in the stylish rooms. This property is also smack in the middle of central Rome, within walking distance of the Piazza Della Repubblica and Termini Station, making this hotel convenient and decidedly upscale.

The 88-room iQ Hotel Roma is located in a five-story building that was formerly a bank about a 10-minute walk from the Termini train station. This no-frills property is all about modern functionality, with a concept that encourages guests to help themselves (vending machines, laundry room, and even a self-serve bar). There is a covered rooftop garden, a play area for kids, fitness center, and sauna. Rooms are modern and unfussy with mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs. No-frills service in an upscale hotel might not be to everyone's taste, the nearby Welcome Piram Hotel is a good alternative.

The Locanda al Viminale is an intimate, affordable bed-and-breakfast nestled by the Termini Station. Six spacious rooms are pleasantly furnished with private bathrooms, and some have balconies, preserved frescoes, or kitchenettes. A light Italian breakfast is delivered to rooms in the mornings and free refreshments are always on supply in a kitchen. This property is a great value for tourists who want to be in the center of Rome, but guests may want to also check rates at The Beehive nearby, which has fresh, youthful decor.

Spread out over two floors of a 19th-century office building off the Via Nazionale, the 17-room Hotel Dharma displays boutique style and service at prices that are low for this neighborhood. Its soundproof rooms, ranging from Doubles and Triples to Select Suites with hot tubs, balconies, and Turkish baths, all come with air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs with international and premium channels, and minibars. Breakfast, taken at the hotel's Cotto Restaurant next door, is included in the room rate. Hotel Nord Nuova Roma, with a rooftop terrace offering city views, is a similarly priced property in the same busy area. 

Right on the Piazza della Repubblica near Termini Station, Palazzo Naiadi, The Dedica Anthology is housed in a former 19th-century palace and was the first 5-star hotel to be established in Rome. The 238 rooms have elegant neoclassical style in shades of beige and cream; guests can also choose to stay in the Clementino, which was the papal granary in the 17th century. The dramatic entrance, grand lobby, and hallways lined with Roman busts set a formal tone; the hotel requests a business casual dress code in the public and dining areas. There are several dining options, and the seasonal city-view infinity pool is a highlight.

The three-pearl Hotel Columbia offers a great location to public transportation and romantic features, like antique furnishings and paintings. The 45 air-conditioned rooms include flat-screen TVs, minibars, electric kettles, and gorgeous Murano glass chandeliers, though they're not very spacious and might feel too old-fashioned for some. Suites and Family rooms are also available. A free breakfast is served on a terrace or in a breakfast room that doubles as a bar and lounge. For those looking for a more modern hotel, it may be worth checking the prices at Hotel Selene Rome. 

The St. Regis Rome is a grand five-pearl hotel of the Belle Epoque era, with modern amenities. Most guests rave about the helpful concierge and butler service, and the property features include an Asian-themed spa, a fine dining restaurant offering wine cellar tastings, and formal afternoon tea service. Elegant rooms blend several historic decor styles and are adorned with lovely antiques. The hotel is within walking distance of Termini Station, the Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps. The Westin Excelsior, the hotel's sister property on the nearby Via Veneto, is also worth considering.

The nine-room SuiteDreams Hotel may have a cheesy pun built into the name, but it's actually a solid mid-range option within walking distance of Termini Statin and Trevi Fountain. The hotel feels updated thanks to use of modern design trends, and free extras such as Wi-Fi and breakfast add value. Rooms are decently sized and clean (if a tad bland), with most sporting twin beds and stone shower stalls. It's a good price for the location, but it's worth comparing rates with the Hotel Fontana, which is a bit closer to the tourist sights.

Part boutique hotel, part guest house, the Moses Fountain offers a refreshing break from the cookie-cutter chain hotel experience. Housed in a 16th-century edifice that was once part of the city's aqueduct system, the Moses lacks most of the amenities of a typical hotel, including a lobby, elevator, restaurant, or 24-hour front desk staff. Nonetheless, six guest rooms are spacious and individually decorated with many stylish details. The steep staircases here may be too challenging for folks with mobility issues.

The Britannia Hotel is an upscale hotel in a convenient location near the Piazza della Repubblica and within walking distance to several of the city’s famous historic sights. The hotel has a dark, cozy bar and 33 homey rooms with free minibars and flat-screen TVs. Standard rooms are small (and not a good fit for families), but the hotel wins in the breakfast category, providing a free breakfast with a wide variety of food that exceeds other hotels’ offerings. The hotel is a good choice at a fair rate, but guests with more modern tastes may want to compare rates with Hotel Alpi, an upscale property with a pretty roof terrace.

Hotel Mascagni is a smart choice for solid accommodations near Piazza della Repubblica. The upper-middle-range hotel has attractive, modern public spaces and in 2016 the hotel opened an annex to house 40 polished rooms. However, the orange striped wallpaper and matching drapes are garish. All units are well-equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars, electric kettles with free tea and coffee, and free Wi-Fi; some have balconies. Bathrooms are far more stylish, and come with bidets, a generous supply of toiletries, and shower/tub combos in most. Features here are limited to an elegant breakfast room, where a hot spread is served daily, and a small, handsome bar. As an alternative, the nearby Ambasciatori Palace Hotel has slightly higher rates and features a full-service restaurant. 

Renovated from a late 19th-century family home, the five-pearl, 82-room Palazzo Montemartini blends gorgeous historical details with sleek modern style. Notable features include the state-of-the-art spa, gourmet restaurant, and sleek black Lounge Bar. Rooms have spare, streamlined modern decor and marble bathrooms with separate showers and tubs; suites have magazine-worthy style and free access to spa facilities. The location by Termini station is convenient for those traveling by train but less convenient for visiting the sights on foot, as many are a good half-hour walk away. Those seeking a similarly priced luxury hotel with a more central location may prefer Hotel Indigo Rome - St. George.

The Best Western Premier Hotel Royal Santina is a mid-range property just a few blocks from Termini train station, making the hotel convenient for public transportation options but not ideal for those who want to walk to Rome's landmark destinations. The 118-room hotel is modern and stylish with funky furniture and tones of gray and white. An on-site lobby bar and restaurant suffice for a quick drink or meal. Views of a concrete courtyard or neighboring building are uninspired, but people stay here for the clean rooms and access to Termini station.

Located directly opposite the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, the mid-range Al Viminale Hill Inn & Hotel is a good  choice for travelers looking to stay in central Rome with a location near the subway and Termini train station. Its 22 well-maintained rooms feature air-conditioning, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and mini-fridges. Bathrooms are fitted with sophisticated massage showers, and some bathrooms have televisions inset into the bathroom mirror. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and guests can help themselves to free coffee and tea. There's no breakfast service on-site, though guests can pay extra to have breakfast delivered to their room from a nearby restaurant. As an alternative, Hotel Fontana is another mid-range option with a free breakfast buffet, though rates can be higher. 

This 216-room upscale chain hotel in a 19th-century building is just a short walk from the Termini train station, which offers public transport throughout the city, but a long walk from most of the popular tourist sights. The rooms are modern, with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, though lower-level rooms often experience street noise. The hotel's best features are arguably the spacious fitness center and small spa with a sauna, hammam, and massage rooms; guest get free access to the facilities. For business travelers, there's a conference room equipped to host corporate events for up to 300 guests.
