1900 Backpacker’s Hostel

The two-pearl 1900 Backpacker’s Hostel caters to budget travelers who don’t mind a bit of a divey atmosphere and dated decor in exchange for low rates and a walkable location. The dorms have bunk beds and lockers, while Suites offer flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and en-suite bathrooms. Dorms and Standard Rooms lack air-conditioning, have spotty Wi-Fi, and must share en-suite bathrooms. Decent amenities include a basic breakfast of toast and jam, free walking tours and cooking classes, a small bar, rooftop terrace, and public computers. For those who don’t mind spending a bit more money for privacy, consider the Bayview Hotel for free breakfast and parking, an on-site restaurant, and a Miraflores location. 

Arpinelli Relais

The two-pearl Arpinelli Relais is a 10-room guest house with a convenient position in central Rome, near the iconic Trevi Fountain. Small but exquisite, this former palazzo is as charming as the family running it, and quirky layouts are much-loved by the crowd of mostly couples. Gilded antiques and original woods extend to the classically elegant rooms, although contemporary furnishings reflect its 2015 opening. Although compact, they’re outfitted with flat-screen TVs, modern bathrooms, and AC, plus some have a fireplace or balcony. A beautiful lounge offering free tea and coffee accompanies fridges on each floor, and together they combat the lack of in-room kettles and minibars. Unfortunately, no breakfast or meals are offered. Families may want to consider Hotel Golden, which offers free breakfast.
