Hotel d'Inghilterra is an iconic hotel located in the center of the old city, just a few minutes walk away from the Spanish Steps. This romantic, upscale property has a charming Old World atmosphere, with 88 rooms spread over five floors in a 16th Century Neo-Classical building. Café Romano serves classic Italian cuisine and has an outdoor sidewalk cafe, while the British-style Bond Bar is an atmospheric place for a night cap. The hotel was a haunt of Hemingway and Keats, but present-day guests complain about tired and worn-out guest rooms, outdated bathrooms, and cleanliness issues. At similar rates, Boscolo Exedra, housed in a 19th century palace, offers well-maintained guest rooms and suites, and an on-site spa with a city view infinity pool.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Exe Domus Aurea offers clean and affordable rooms a little less than a five-minute walk from Termini Station. The Diocletian Baths, Piazza della Repubblica, and a few other sights are within a short walk, but most major sites require taking public transit. The 49 guest rooms have a cheery and pleasant look with colorful green-and-yellow accents. All come with AC, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, but they lack kettles. The hotel’s highlight feature is its well-reviewed continental breakfast, served for an extra charge in a dining room with an outdoor terrace and city views. A lobby bar and public computer are on-site, but the hotel lacks a full-service restaurant and other facilities. Travelers who want a fitness center and sauna might consider the nearby Hotel Diocleziano, but room rates there can run a bit higher.

The mid-range Park Hotel Villaferrata is set in the picturesque Castelli Romani Regional Park south of Rome. It’s surrounded by lush landscaping, gardens, and towering trees, making it popular for weddings and other social events. But it's about a 40-minute drive to central Rome -- the hotel offers free shuttle service to the Frascati train station, and from there, the trip into Rome can take up to an hour. Its 70 rooms have balconies and marble bathrooms, but the decor is dated and TVs are tube-style. There's an on-site restaurant, and a breakfast buffet is included in the already attractive room rates. For a central Rome hotel with only slightly higher rates, travelers might want to consider the Hotel Villa San Pio.

The mid-range, 11-room HiSuiteRome is a great value for travelers looking to live like the locals, offering modern apartment-style suites in the historic center, a four-minute walk from Piazza Navona. Rooms feature a separate dining area with small kitchenettes as well as bedrooms with a simple modern design, modest flat-screen TVs, AC, free Wi-Fi and iPod docking stations. There are almost no shared common spaces (no fitness center, restaurant or bar), but the location on a popular cobblestone street offers easy access to bars and restaurants. The rooms are relatively large for the area, and all include sofa beds, making them especially popular with families and groups. Those looking for more on-site features might consider Risidenza di Ripetta, which has a restaurant and bar, but its kitchenette-equipped rooms are smaller and older.

The Britannia Hotel is an upscale hotel in a convenient location near the Piazza della Repubblica and within walking distance to several of the city’s famous historic sights. The hotel has a dark, cozy bar and 33 homey rooms with free minibars and flat-screen TVs. Standard rooms are small (and not a good fit for families), but the hotel wins in the breakfast category, providing a free breakfast with a wide variety of food that exceeds other hotels’ offerings. The hotel is a good choice at a fair rate, but guests with more modern tastes may want to compare rates with Hotel Alpi, an upscale property with a pretty roof terrace.

The 177-room, upscale NH Collection Roma Palazzo Cinquecento is set in a stately palazzo located directly next to Rome’s Termini station. The building once belonged to Italy’s postal system, but a 2016 makeover transformed the structure into a modern hotel that preserved the turn-of-the-century character but ditched any lingering post office feel. In the rooms, neutral and nudes reign supreme, with abstract leather headboards and crisp white linens -- though it's worth noting that the Superior Rooms are tiny. The major transport hub outside the door is convenient for guests planning to use public transportation to see all of Rome, but the neighborhood is a bit gritty and none of the major popular sights are within easy walking distance. Those hoping to stay within walking distance of some of the sights might prefer the slightly pricier Hotel Indigo Rome - St. George, which is a 15-minute walk from the Pantheon.

The 96-room Albergo Santa Chiara is a pleasant, simply designed mid-range hotel with a great central location behind the Pantheon. Airy rooms have neutral colors and striped curtains along with flat-screen TVs, safes, and mini-fridges; suites feature wooden ceilings and terraces. The location is definitely central, but that can sometimes lead to noise that is audible in the rooms. This small hotel has a cozy dining room that serves a free breakfast buffet and a lobby bar with some outdoor seating. But furnishings here are on the plain side. Travelers looking for more distinctive interiors could try the similarly priced Hotel Manfredi Suite in Rome located near the Spanish Steps.

The 48-room Eurogarden is a mid-range hotel located about a 20-minute drive from Rome's city center and surrounded by a lovely garden filled with citrus trees and flowers. Quaint rooms have mini-fridges with free bottled water, flat-screen TVs, and modern bathrooms, while some of the more spacious options have courtyards, sitting areas, and jetted showers or tubs. Decor is a bit dated, however, and some rooms get loud highway noise. Breakfast is included, and there's a free shuttle to two local train stations, plus free outdoor parking and rental bikes are also available. The delightful outdoor pool is encompassed by greenery, but lacks seating. Travelers seeking something more central might want to consider the Hotel Adriano or the Hotel Oceania, which are a bit more expensive, but they're within walking distance of many sights.
