Hotel Sisto V offers a no-frills, no-fuss, lower-middle-range option for travelers. The location isn't central for sightseeing, but it does offer a quiet suburban environment and parking. It’s an easy, 25-minute trip by train to Vatican City, though it can take up to 40 minutes to visit tourist attractions in central Rome. Rooms are clean, spacious, and bright, though simply furnished, and most come with small balconies. The hotel serves a buffet breakfast (for a fee) each morning and Wi-Fi is free, but there's little else in the way of features. This is an inexpensive option for travelers with cars who don’t mind being away from the action, but for those that prefer being in the thick of it, The Beehive by Termini train station could be a better option.

This 43-room, mid-century modern boutique hotel is sleek and upscale, with a gorgeous rooftop terrace with bar -- and a phenomenal location for tourists right by the Piazza Navona, within a five-minute walk of the Pantheon. Spacious, stylish rooms have black tile floors and free minibar item on the first day. There's no restaurant, but there's a big, free breakfast buffet as well as sundowner appetizers and cocktails at the rooftop bar. Nearby Hotel Lunetta has four pearls, a slightly higher price, fewer rooms, and more classically contemporary look; unlike Palazzo Navona, it has a spa, but it lacks the expansive rooftop terrace bar here.

The 192-room Best Western Hotel President has a modern, renovated lobby and clean rooms with updated bathrooms, but room decor is bland and dated. There’s a large buffet breakfast and the hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the Colosseum and Termini Station, with a metro station just outside. Rates are fair, and possible even a real bargain, given the central location but the hotel lacks atmosphere.

The 61-room Fortyseven Boutique Hotel is an upscale option that offers solid returns for the price. The Colosseum and Roman Forum are just up the hill behind the hotel, while charming Trastevere is just across the river. Newly trendy Testaccio is a 15-minute walk away. Housed in a historic building restored in the mid-2000s, the property has a modern look. Rooms are spacious and bright, with impressive views, comfortable hypoallergenic bedding, and bathrooms featuring large rainfall showers. The rooftop restaurant is a major draw for guests and locals alike with its sweeping Rome views and Italian dishes, while a bistro on the ground floor is open for dinner and evening cocktails. There's also a simple gym and steam room. Overall, the hotel is a solid value, though if you'd prefer to be right in the thick of things, check out Hotel Damaso instead, which has boutique style and a prime location.

The two-pearl Hotel il Papavero is a decent budget option for those who want to stay near Termini Station, about a five-minute walk away. The Piazza della Repubblica is also a short stroll, but the hotel is a bit far from the Spanish Steps and Colosseum, at about 10 minutes or more by metro or bus. Property features are limited here, with just public computers and a communal, though no breakfast. The hotel has a total of 40 colorful guest rooms and mixed and female-only dorms, all with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and en-suite bathrooms, but not all have AC. Travelers looking for a stay nearby with affordable rates and a more energetic, party atmosphere can check out Yellow Hotel, which has a bar, nightclub, and party bus.

Beautiful rooms and a great central location around the corner from the Spanish Steps are highlights at Mario de’ Fiori 37 – an upscale, boutique establishment. The nine rooms are delightful, with romantic canopy beds and upscale amenities including Nespresso machines, minibars, luxury linens by Milan-based Frette, and beautiful bathrooms.

With eight meeting rooms and having an all-around office feel to it, the two-and-a-half pearl Giustiniano is geared toward business travelers. It's large and lacks a specific Italian character, but it's still a good option for tourists given its walker-friendly proximity to the Vatican and other historic sights. Because of its size, guests can remain more anonymous here than at one of the city’s many smaller, more intimate hotels.

The Star of Rome is a mid-range bed-and-breakfast situated in a residential area near Villa Doria Pamphili park. Though the location isn't central, guests can walk to several buses and the metro, and the trip to Vatican City is just 15 minutes. There are five guest rooms that can accommodate between two to five guests; features include marble floors, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs along with simple, modern decor. A continental breakfast and Wi-Fi are free, but the public areas and breakfast room are shared by four other bed-and-breakfasts. The nearby NH Roma Villa Carpegna offers a seasonal outdoor pool as well as a restaurant, but it costs more and is slightly farther from Rome hotspots.

Located in a former convent in Rome’s charming Trastevere neighborhood, Relais Le Clarisse is a small value hotel with a lovely garden courtyard surrounded by cobblestones streets filled with lively restaurants and bars. A quick walk across Ponte Sisto brings guests to Campo de’ Fiori in about 10 minutes. Eighteen rooms (named after plants found in the garden) have a mix of antique furniture and original architectural details, plus some have large private terraces and/or kitchenettes. A free fresh breakfast buffet is served every morning, but Relais Le Clarisse is short on communal features, so the location and true Italian style of the hotel are major draws. Those who prefer ultra-modern digs should look into iRooms Pantheon & Navona closer to the center of the city -- but rates are higher.

This nine-room boutique is awkwardly located on the second floor of a historic building. But once you get past having to climb the stairs to the front desk, the hotel offers great value: Rooms are large with up-to-date bathrooms and free Wi-Fi, there is free breakfast, and even pets stay for no extra fee. The room decor is contemporary, with wood floors, colorful artwork, bright accent walls, and bedding in shades of white, brown, and gray. Plus, the location is great for sightseeing; the Villa Borghese, the Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish steps are all within walking distance. If you're looking for lots of amenities, however, you may want to consider staying elsewhere (the hotel has no fitness center and no full restaurant -- just a breakfast room).
