ROME: WHERE TO SLEEP Go Back to Rome Summary Rome has numerous options for travellers of all ages and budgets. We have specified these below. Feel free to contact us for additional or more specific advice - italy@backpackglobe.com HOSTELS Most of the hostels are situated a short walking distance from Stazione Termini area along the streets of Via Solferino, Via Gaeta, Via Palestro, Via Magenta, Via Marghera and Via Vicenza etc (exit from the right hand side of Termini with the tracks behind you). If you exit from the other end there are also some options. There are also a few hostel options grouped around the Vatican if you want to be near that side of town. Please consult our booking engine on the left hand side of every page to search for reviews and specific options or email us for advice. On average you would expect to pay about 18-20 Euro for a dorm bed in Rome and for most of them it will include breakfast with the cost. Many of the Roman hostels also provide single sex or segragated dorms for additional privacy. You can also get private rooms for up to 30-40 Euro depending if the bathroom is inside or not. A lot of the Roman hostels also do special dinner nights like pizza or pasta for the cost of a drink at the bar. Please note that the reception area for the hostel may not actually be the same entrance for access to the rooms. A lot of establishments purchase apartments in a street in different buildings. It may appear a little dodgy but it's just the way things are done. HOTELS A lot of the budget hotels are situated by the hostels in the above mentioned streets and this is a good place to base for touring around Rome. Again please consult our booking engine or email us for advice. Bookhostels (our partner) ITWG (our partner) Depending on what star of hotel you choose to book at you can expect to pay anything from Euro 40-50 per room and up. Do some scouting and you may find some good budget options online. Don't be afraid to try the private room options in the hostels as they offer a lot of privacy and good services.

We do list some of these on our booking engine which you can check for reviews.

A lot of agents and individual operators will rent these out for short term periods, per week or even per night. If you have a group of people, or are a family or a couple wanting extreme privacy and the facilities to cook your own food; this will suit you best. For groups or families it may also work out cheaper than staying in a hotel or hostel (particularly if you cook your own food). Travel Now is our partner and offers apartments such as this.
