Anybody have suggestions for hotels in Rome, and the best month to visit? Thank you.

So many places.....think more about where you want to be....near termini....easy access to buses and both metro lines? Or is trastavere....the hip neighbourhood....across the tiber and easily walkable....but you would need a taxi to get there when you arrive? Or near tje coloseum.....ambiance.....or near the vatican?
Termini my go to, has so many hotels every building has at least one and with air b&b....the choices are seemingly endless....look at reviews, stars security and flights of stairs.... Not many elevators and the fifth floor walkup....might be 10 to 12 flights of stairs. Then choose.

May is best month from my experience

Thank you for this information, great appreciated.

we went in July last year and it was VERY hot.. like +42 with humidity so if you like to be very hot and sweaty, go then, haha. I did read some articles that a lot of little shops are closed in August as that's when the Italian families take their holidays. We found it best to rent a suite from vrbo. We rented a large suite for 3 nights of our honeymoon and then a penthouse for 2 nights which had a rooftop terrace with a hot tub. It was lovely. It was in the Trastevere district with lots of places to walk to and eat.

Thank you so much, no plus 42 for me. Lol.

Hotel Lancelot is awesome. Near colosseum, very clean, nice rooms, helpful staff and close to lots of cheap but excellent restaurants

Thank you so much.

Also Hotel Coliseum its close to train station, clean, ok rooms, good breakfast and is cheaper.

Norman , does this train go anywhere for sightseeing, or sights. Thank you.

it goes to and from airport as well if you are going anywhere else like Pisa, Florance, Naples or Venice. Around Rome, just take the bus...really easy from both mentioned hotels. Get a Rick Steves guide book not only does it tell you what to see, but what you are looking at when you get there. He includes city maps that are great. We have been to Italy twice (was there this past July). I have spent 17 days in Rome...lots to see and do. The Sunday flea market is awesome...you cant see it all. Take tours of the Vatican but you can see most sights without them. Food can be cheap with the average tourist menu from 7 to 10 euro per person. We walk a lot, Rome is very compact and walkable. Most sights are half hour walk from the Lancelot. Because so many buses go to the coliseum its easy to get around from the Lancelot also.

Norman wonderful feedback. Thank you so very much, greatly appreciated.

We stayed at a beautiful air bnb. Very close to the Coliseum. The owner drove us to the airport and was very friendly and helpful. We were there in August which was a little too hot, but the nights were wonderful. If interested I can give you the contact info.

Would appreciate the information. Never been to Rome so not too sure where to stay, etc. Thank you.

I have included the link. Enzo is a retired doctor and speaks English well. He was great to deal with. Very reliable and informative. Rome has strict rules on rentals and taxes and he follows them. We loved this location and Rome was amazing!

Heather Barnes Kennedy Motkoski thank you so very much.

I hope you love your visit as much as I did!

We stayed at Urbana 33 in Rome. It was a little tricky to find - it's a B&B - but it's our favourite hotel we've ever stayed in. 10-15 minute walk to the Colosseum, near the train station, very reasonable rates. It is actually a full private apartment, complete with a kitchen.

Thank you so much.

We did Rome in September weather was great. We stayed at iQ Hotel Roma it is Walking distance to the train station. The hop on hop off bus is just across the street. They have self serve laundry that came in very handy.

Thank you so. I have for the feedback, saw this hotel on the internet.

Relais Fontana di Trevi - rooms were very large and was in an awesome location had a great breakfast included with views of the Trevi Fountain. Lots of good shopping and restaurants within walking distance, close to Spanish Steps and Via Vento for shopping. There is an awesome little restaurant just about a block or so to the right as you exit the hotel and I can't remember the exact name but it was something like Chianti or had that in the name and it was excellent!!

I would avoid the summer months. We went in September and the weather was still great but the days are shorter so our local cab driver said May was a great time because the days are longer to explore more, the weather is warming up and it's not high season like in the summer. I thought that was good information but personally have not been there in May myself.

Teesha few are planning on going late September, thank you so much for this information very helpful.

Sharon you're very welcome. I loved Italy!! Been dreaming to go back. We were there in 2008. I wouldn't go in the summer or winter. You'll be good with Sept! I think spring and/or fall are perfect! ENJOY!

PS I looked up the restaurant name and it is called "IL CHIANTI", the pasta is homemade and the food is really good and very very reasonably priced for an area near a "tourist trap" such as the Trevi Fountain. Also have a dinner in the plazza near the Pantheon at night. I can't remember the name of that particular restaurant. It was pricey there but the atmosphere was MAGICAL and SO worth the splurge!

Hotel San Anselmo is where we stayed. One of our parties struggled with the walking the hills so you have to be capable of walking hills. It was well kept, affordable, had a delicious breakfast, and safe and good. I liked it. There are better ones for sure but you'll also pay more. It's near the coliseum.

Thank you so much for this information.

★★★★ San Anselmo, Rome, Italy

I travel with my Italian husband to Italy every summer. AVOID August because this is when the Italians take their vacation. It's extra crowded.

Thank you.

We went end August and beginning September. Humid and warm but nothing over 34 deg. I usually hate the heat but it feels much different there. It was a tad busy but not overly. Lots of shops and such still open despite many Italians taking vacation at that time.

October has very comfortable temperatures. We really liked Hotel Nerva, right across from the Forum and a couple blocks from the Colosseum - family run, very helpful staff, good breakfasts, comfortable.

Awesome boutique place - Hotel Oceania, close to metro, great location, stayed @ this place in 2014 as recommended by Rick Steves. We travelled there in April & it was fantastic weather

And we went September/October and had a very good time.

I went in early mid october and the weather was great.

Rome Marriott Park Hotel
Near the airport but a great shuttle service. Summer is very hot, shoulder season is cooler but still nice. Two things to see outside of Rome are the Gardens of Ninfa to the south, and a Etruscan necropolis to the north.

I'd never go June-August due to the crowds and heat.

Best western. Near train station, easy access to downtown by public transit.
