Where to stay in Rome

There are 3 good types of places to stay in Rome, depending on the type of person you are and how much you're willing to spend.

A great option, specially for the nature lovers, with a good quality/price relation is camping.
We dettach Plus Camping Roma, where for low prices you can relax and has great hygiene and cleanliness conditions that normally don't exist at campings.
Here you can rent a tent, houses, cabins or you can bring your own equipment (tent or caravan) and pay between 10€ to 25€ per person per day.


This camping has also a nightclub (in case you don't want to go to the centre of the city), barbecue, volleyball camp, 2 swimming pools and 2 jacuzzis.
It also has many bathrooms with showers and laundry and are always very clean.

In front of these camping there's a supermarket, Panorama, where you can buy the ingredients for your meals and maybe, if you want, buy some meat to do a barbecue!
Right in front of the camping there's aso a bus stop that allows you to get to the centre in less then 15 minutes (when there's no traffic because during the day this journey can take up to 1 hour just to travel the 6km that separate the camping from the centre). But if you want a quiet journey then you can choose to buy for 1,5€ per day a ticket to the private bus provided by the camping. It departs from the camping every right hour and takes about half an hour to get to Cipro Station (where you can catch the underground).
The only problem of choosing this camping is that it's not walking distance from the city centre ( it's situated after the west line A - Batistini), so if you want to enjoy the roman nightlife the only way of coming back is by taxi as the public transports end at midnight.

Plus Camping Rome also provides private transportation from the airport to the camping for only 10€ per person (it's a good choice for those who don't know the city), you just need to make a reservation by email 48hours prior to your arrival and show to the driver when you get there.



If you prefer the comfort of a bed, Alice in Wonderland offers you that and much more.

Extremelly well situated, just a few minutes walking from the Coliseum, it's in the last floor of a XVIII building recently renovated and with a fantastic decoration.

For 45€ per person you can have cable tv, mini bar, wireless in the bedroom, private bathroom, ar conditioned and breakfast.
The common area has a pleseant fireplace for the colder days and in the hotter days you can use the balcony where maybe you can tan!
It's also possible to rent a bike or a motorcycle right in the hotel.
We dettach the extreme cleanliness and the safety.


A more economic choise and also a very good one is the Arcadia Hotel, a 3star hotel, situated near the Anagnina Metro station (Line A) and it's only 20minutes from the centre.

A double room is priced between 50€/60€ (depending on the time) per night and per room with breakfast included.
It's in a commercial area and very easy to find.
It has a 24hour reception so you don't have any problem if you arrive late for check-in.

We suggest that you stay away from the hotels or hostels near the Termini station and always say no to the rooms that people are renting on this sation way out as this is a zone a bit dangerous and the lack of quality and hygiene are not very present in this area.
