Facilities are limited, but the free continental breakfast has a range of cold options including pastries, yogurt, cereals, cold cuts, and cheese.

The six-room Domus RomAntica is a mid-range boutique hotel centrally located close to several major tourist sights. Rooms have an elegant style with Neoclassical elements and romantic features like roses in vases, although decor feels a bit dark. They’re outfitted with flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and minibars, but lack coffee- and tea-making facilities. There’s free Wi-Fi throughout, though there have been many complaints about connectivity issues. Hotel features are limited to breakfast vouchers, which are sometimes included in rates and can be used at one of two cafes. As an alternative, La Finestra sul Colosseo B&B offers a free breakfast delivered to the rooms each morning, as well as a free bottle of wine and fruit upon arrival, though rates tend to be a bit more expensive.

Set inside a 16th-century apartment building, this mid-range option offers five comfy, character-filled suites on a pedestrian strip near the Tiber. It’s lively (and potentially noisy) location puts guests in walking distance of major sites, but the building’s shared entrance doesn't make the best first impression, and on-site features are few. Fortunately, the little lobby is a lovely space inspired by the painter for whom The Raffaello was named (aka Raphael), and the kitchenette-equipped suites accentuate their architectural pedigree by combining modern amenities like rainfall showers, flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi with period details (say, a gorgeous coffered ceiling or parquet floor). If you’d prefer an equally intimate three-pearl spot with less charm but better views, consider the aptly-named Colosseo Panoramic Rooms opposite the Colosseum.

Palazzo Dama has a style that's equal parts sumptuous and fun, with a vibe that ranges from calm to wild depending on the day of the week. Lots of features make this property stand out from the pack in Rome, including its beautiful outdoor pool, its Peruvian food and beverage program, and its popular nightclub. The 29 rooms are spacious and all include Nespresso machines (fee), minibars, and upscale Acqua di Parma bath products.
