The upper-middle-range Hotel Alimandi Vaticano has an excellent central location in Rome, just opposite the entrance to the Vatican Museums. Housed in a Neo-Classical building, the 24 spacious guest rooms are tastefully decorated in an elegant style. Public areas are equally elegant, and the hotel's highlight is its large terrace on the fourth floor rooftop with views of the Vatican. A free hot breakfast buffet and Wi-Fi adds to the property's value. But one downside is noise from rooms that face the street. The nearby Columbus Hotel offers a good alternative with its historic setting and gourmet restaurant and bar, though breakfast is not included in the room rate.

If you're looking to sample Rome's historic and modern sides in one place, the DOM Hotel is a great upscale choice. The hotel sits on a picturesque cobblestone street that's only a five-minute walk from Camp de' Fiori. All 18 rooms balance original details like wooden beams and brick walls with sober contemporary accents plus local touches like Venetian mirrors. Features include minibars, free Wi-Fi, and memory-foam beds. The rooftop bar draws locals and tourists from around the city, and the restaurant uses locally sourced ingredients to create traditional Roman fare with a twist. Historic details like marble plaques purchased by the monastery's sponsors complete the hotel's Old World vibe. If you'd prefer a boutique option closer to Piazza del Popolo, it's worth checking out Palazzo Dama instead, which is DOM's sister hotel.

While the homey Suite Oriani hotel is not a central city choice, its location between two of Rome’s largest parks in Parioli is tranquil and pleasant. Once a private home and then the South Africa Embassy, the mid-range hotel is inside a 1920s villa. Much of the period decor has been preserved or recreated inside the townhouse, which has details such as Art Deco frescoes and original hardwood floors. The six suites are all designed with the time period in mind, which can feel equal parts charming and dated. A nearby station links to the city’s wider subway system, but the hotel’s peaceful setting comes at the cost of being significantly far away from Rome’s main attractions. For something more central, check rates at Hotel Trevi Collection, which is near the Spanish Steps.

This budget-friendly mid-sized chain hotel is located in the southern part of Rome's city center. The property offers fast access to tourist sights and the airport via public transportation, but the overall amenities are limited. A free hot buffet in the bright and cheerful breakfast nook is a nice perk. The rooms have flat-screen TVs and electric kettles for heating water, though the decor is comparable to a student dorm room with small desks and wall-mounted clothes hangers.

The 41-room Raffaello Hotel is a basic mid-range option in a 19th-century building with a decent breakfast buffet in Rome’s trendy Monti district. While the quaint, historic neighborhood is filled with bars, restaurants, and art galleries, the vintage cool doesn’t exactly extend to the Hotel Raffaello -- rooms are a bit dated with patterned bedspreads. They do have some old-fashioned charm, though, and for the low rates they're hard to top. Travelers with a similar budget looking for a more modern property might also want to check out the SuiteDreams Hotel.

Hotel Sonya is a mid-range property that gets high marks for its location (near Termini station), clean guest rooms, and generous buffet breakfast with housemade pastries, which is included in the room rate. With its most recent renovation completed in 2013, its 40 guest rooms are well-maintained and include modern, spotless bathrooms plus flat-screen TVs, minibars, electric kettles for tea and coffee, and air-conditioning. Most rooms are of reasonable size, but some feel cramped, and decor seesaws from generic to garish. For a property with more historical character and more subdued room decor, travelers can consider the Hotel Fontana, located in a former monastery.

BV Oly Hotel is outside the city center in a residential and financial district, near the Marconi metro stop. The three-pearl property has a conference center and its own ample free parking in an area where that's not easy to find. Except for the restaurant, which has been updated with contemporary decor, the hotel has a dated look throughout, including in its 103 carpeted rooms and suites. All come equipped with air-conditioning, work desks, mini-fridges, safes, bathrobes, and free Wi-Fi, but they lack kettles. Features include a lobby bar with an espresso machine, and a free buffet breakfast that many guests say is better than average. If no on-site fitness center is a deal-breaker, travelers can check out the nearby Hotel Pulitzer Roma, which also has more stylish guest rooms.
