I just got back from Rome and stayed at a hotel in Celio, 3 blocks east of the Colosseum. There were good restaurants nearby. Termini is known to be seedy. In fact, I avoided the area as a 73-year-old woman traveling solo.

74 woman and also travel solo. I stay just west of Piazza NAVONNA! Fabulous neighborhood. Very inexpensive (used to be) was “Charming Navonna”. GREAT restaurants close by!!

I have been staying at the Hotel Villa San Pio when in Rome for the past 25 years and it is without a doubt my favorite hotel in the world.

Thanks for the tip. How expensive is it, may I ask?

Wonderful, thank you. I stayed at a charming B&B very near the Vatican; it was booked through the Rome B&B Association in 2000. Hope to get back there again.

Do they have cheaper places to stay? Prices seem to keep going up.

@@123benny4 I couldn't tell you as it was ages ago and I haven't contacted them lately. There are also monasteries which offer accommodation, they used to be more affordable. The decor is simpler and you might have to share a bathroom... they might not be in the city centre, so there would be more travelling. I stayed in a monastery just outside Florence. Very pretty, used to be a Medici villa. There was public transportation to & from the city at peak hours during the day. Loved it 🥰

@@roxannedyerart Thanks for your reply. I'll have to check myself. The monastery option sounds great. I'll have to look into that too. I'm just looking for somewhere to stay while I'm on my own before going to stay with relatives. Hotels and AirBnBs seem to be getting expensive. Have a great 2025!

Nice, just booked first 5 nights in city rights at the center of Vatican and Colosseum etc.. It's hostel since I'm going to be out all day anyways. On other hand I'm planning last two days to be on nicer place on coast or some beautiful location outside the center to wind down after probably walking everywhere for almost a week ;D

I stayed at Lancelot, 3 blocks east of the Colosseum. I got 6 nights in a single for roughly $800. Breakfast is included and is very substantial. The staff are lovely. I booked in July for a trip the first week of April.

The area around Termini is outright dangerous. I’m rather surprised you recommended it.
@SantoriniDaveHQ9 ай бұрын
The area feels (and looks) a bit sketchy and seedy. There are plenty of pickpockets and fraudsters about (don't accept assistance from anyone trying to "help" you buy a train ticket). But "outright dangerous" it is not.
@v7poistblaznei7 ай бұрын
I’ve never had a dangerous encounter near Termini station. Pickpockets etc., yes! There are more than safe places to stay a few blocks from Termini as well……Anybody can wait in line for the tourist spots, but you have to experience the zoo of Termini and the metro for the full Rome holiday 😂
