Where to sleep in Rome: a short guide to finding a hotel

When you are about to leave for a trip, half of the organization time is lost in choosing the accommodation. In a city as big and chaotic as the capital of the Bel Paese, it is inevitable to ask yourself: where to sleep in Rome ? Between apartments, hotels and B&Bs there is something for all tastes, for all budgets, for all needs. Will we be able to find one that satisfies all our needs? Of course, but information is needed. Trusting the opinion of others, of those who have already been to hotels in Rome, can be a bit of a start but you need to do some research to get your own idea of the hotel in Rome that could turn out to be the right one. The question is different if you are traveling in a group or if you are participating in an organized trip in which case you could end up with any hotel and you will have to settle for that. So, first of all, next time you choose where to sleep in Rome, do a good surfing. On the web you will find reviews, photos, opinions and lots of useful information that will lead you to the hotel in Rome that suits you, but if you want to get straight to the point perhaps due to lack of time or desire we recommend you take a look atalloggionline.com a tourist portal specialized in the selection of hotels. So let's start by establishing priorities. The budget, set one, will help you narrow down the field. If you have already decided what to visit in Rome this will help you even more to narrow down the field because you will be able to look for accommodations near the places of interest, this will allow you to save time and money. If in the area around the places that interest you there is no accommodation that you like you can look near the metro stops. Do not choose a place to sleep in Rome that is far from the center if you do not have your own means of transport to get around. Once you have narrowed down the search area we look for a list of possible accommodations in the area. At this point you have to ask yourself: what type of accommodation do I need? Hotels: they range from 3 to 5 stars and, usually, they are all attractive in photos. If there are no photos on the website of the hotel you are visiting, you can also discard it. In hotels we have more comforts available than in any other accommodation, but clearly these vary in relation to the number of stars. Most of them have as a basic feature: air conditioning, TV, wi-fi, breakfast included in the price, sometimes even a mini fridge. As the price goes up we find: room service, laundry service, offers for restaurants and spas within the hotel, babysitting service and much more. Even if your budget is limited, always prefer a hotel with an en-suite bathroom and not a shared one or you will find yourself queuing. B&B: ideal solution for those on a limited budget, for those who are perhaps stopping for just a weekend in Rome or for those who love Spartan environments. They are much less formal than hotels and certainly equipped with far fewer comforts but breakfast is included and the bathroom is not always shared. Apartments for rent : excellent for those who do not want to give up their privacy and find the comfort that can be had as in their own home, with the added advantage of being able to manage their own meals independently. Hostels: recommended for those who want to spend little and do not give too much importance to privacy, usually spartan but welcoming, there are also hostels for women only. It can be an excellent idea for groups of women only. Finally, three things must be evaluated in order to judge a hotel as good or to be avoided: maximum cleanliness always and in any case, safety especially at night and regarding the clientele that frequents the hotel and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff.
