The three-room, mid-range Il Boom Bed-and-Breakfast is for travelers seeking a true taste of Roman life. Situated in a quiet area near the lively Trastevere area of Old Rome -- with its many cafes, restaurants, and historic landmarks -- the bed-and-breakfast is chic and homey all at once. Spacious, beautifully decorated rooms have vaulted ceilings, vintage decor, and lovely views of the city. Be aware that rooms are atop a flight of stairs, only one has an en-suite bathroom, and there are a few resident cats on the property, although they never enter the guest rooms. Guests looking to stay closer to St. Peter's Square and within walking distance of Campo de Fiori market should try Hotel La Rovere, which has contemporary rooms at a slightly lower price point.

Caravel Hotel is an elegant and trendy mid-range property far from Rome’s city center, but within walking distance of public transportation. Its 118 rooms were updated with modern touches and are equipped with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning, but no minibars or coffee/tea facilities. The hotel offers a free breakfast buffet as well as a restaurant serving local fare. Other on-site amenities include a hair salon, three meeting rooms, and an Internet corner. It may be worth comparing rates at Hotel Ivanhoe, which occupies a central location within walking distance of major attractions and has a rooftop terrace and bar, but the hotel is less stylish and rooms are slightly smaller.

The 62-room Hotel Giolli Nazionale is a two-and-a-half-pearl option with an excellent location in the eclectic Monti neighborhood. It's within walking distance of several major attractions, like Trevi Fountain, plus many restaurants, bars, and shops, and public transportation are nearby. Rooms are a mixed bag, however, with some that look reasonably modern, while others are in need of an update. They're also on the small side, but all are equipped with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Some look out onto the stunning Palazzo delle Esposizione. A simple breakfast buffet is free, and there's a bar for post-sightseeing drinks. For something with a bit more, the Hotel Monti has a nice rooftop terrace, and makes a fine alternative in the same part of town.

Hotel Teatro Pace is a small, older property situated on a quiet street in the heart of Rome’s historic center. It's a short stroll from Piazza Navona, and its prime location and classic architecture are some of the hotel’s major draws, as many other amenities are lacking. With no elevator, no lounge, and no breakfast room, its 23 guest rooms with traditional decor that's a bit dated are the only true available space. Luckily, units tend to be large, with high ceilings and well-maintained wood accents. All units come with AC, large flat-screen TVs, minibars, kettles, and free Wi-Fi, and some have balconies with views. Overall, the three-pearl hotel offers good value for the central area. Travelers looking for modern digs might consider Navona Luxury Apartments, which are slightly pricier but have a more updated style, as well as a separate living area.

The three-pearl Deko Rome is a modest boutique hotel in one of the most elegant neighborhoods in Rome, close to Via Veneto. Housed on the second floor of a 20th century Palazzo-style building, the hotel has a minimalist interior with a few Pop Art touches. Its six simple rooms, modern in furnishings, have views of the street or a courtyard and an iPad. The Deko's greatest luxury is spontaneous gestures from the owners -- an espresso upon arrival, free breakfast, or the occasional bottle of Prosecco -- that distinguish their place from the grander hotels in the area. For less minimalist lodgings in central Rome, travelers should consider Hotel Condotti.

There aren't many on-site facilities here, but the charming grounds have a lovely landscaped garden with a koi pond. Travelers seeking apartment-style lodging might also want to consider the Aurelia Vatican Apartments, which are a bit closer to the city center and offer cheaper rates, but are not as stylish nor do they offer as many amenities.

The mid-range Bettoja Massimo D'Azeglio Hotel started as a simple restaurant in 1875 with a superb wine cellar and has grown into a 185-room hotel with elegant interiors and a rich history of famous guests. Its restaurant and wine cellar remain a highlight, and rates include daily breakfast buffets. The hotel also offers conference facilities and guests have access to two nearby fitness centers. Though the rooms are slightly dated, they are pleasantly appointed, but some guests complain about issues with the air-conditioning and cleanliness. The property is situated right by the Termini train station and metro, giving quick and easy access to most of Rome’s attractions. Travelers may also want to consider the more centralized Hotel Due Torri.

The Church Palace lives up to its name -- it's a stately upper-middle-range property set on expansive grounds with its own church. The 200 rooms feature black-and-white decor and well-stocked minibars, but overall they're a bit generic; suites also have Nespresso machines and living rooms with sofa beds. Dining is an upscale experience thanks to three Mediterranean restaurants and a sleek lounge bar. Wedding and event planners also pick this venue for its two-floor auditorium, 10 meeting rooms, and 24/7 business center. This hotel provides a quiet retreat outside of Rome's city center, yet it also offers a free downtown shuttle and there's a nearby metro stop. Travelers looking to be closer to sites like the Pantheon should check out the Hotel Nazionale A Montecitorio, though it lacks an on-site restaurant.

Rooms are large and comfortable with typical "chain" decor, and breakfast is included in the comparatively low rates. The outdoor pool is a big plus.
