Hotel Sole is a two-pearl historical property that's a minute’s walk from Campo de’ Fiori. Being so close to the lively square also makes the hotel an ideal jumping off point for exploring other sites in Rome’s historic center, such as the nearby Pantheon and Piazza Navona. Most guests agree that the location is the best feature because rooms tend to be small and there's not much else here besides continental breakfast for a fee. The slightly dated air of Hotel Sole can be a part of its Italian charm, along with the multi-level internal terrace with rooftop views of the city. As an alternative, Hotel Fontana faces the Trevi Fountain and offers a free breakfast buffet for higher rates.

A great spot for young backpackers to stay, The Yellow is a budget hostel in the center of Rome with a lively bar and no curfew. It's within a short walk of Termini station and a metro station, making it around a 10-minute trip to the Colosseum.

This mid-range bed-and-breakfast has five rooms housed in a 19th century apartment building just four blocks from Rome's Termini Station. Located in the central and lively Esquilino district, several historic attractions -- including the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain -- are within a 20-minute walk (less than 10 minutes by taxi). Rooms have attractive, elegant features like parquet floors and wood paneling, plus vintage accents and handsome tiled bathrooms. Breakfast, while simple, is included with most bookings. For a slightly more vibrant bed-and-breakfast option in the Trastevere neighborhood, guests should consider Il Boom B & B, though rates are higher and walks to historic sights will take longer.

This 96-room Aleph Hotel Rome near the Piazza Barberini is both luxurious and a bit eccentric, with a playful heaven and hell theme. The underground spa has heaven-inspired decor, and is entered through the vault doors of the old bank, while public areas and restaurants are decked out in dramatic reds. Attractive rooms have Murano glass fixtures and artful black-and-white photos of Roman street life; some have terraces. The hotel definitely has a vibe more suited to adults, but the hotel does provide babysitting services. Just note that the Wi-Fi requires a code for each login, the breakfast is a bit pricey, and showers are not fully enclosed.

The upper-middle-range Le Meridien Visconti Rome is located near Vatican City, with a convenient location for sightseeing, shopping and public transportation. Renovated rooms are modern and stylish.

The St. Regis Rome is a grand five-pearl hotel of the Belle Epoque era, with modern amenities.

Although it claims to be a five-star property, the 123-room La Griffe is really a funky upper-middle-range hotel with average amenities and quirky, dark interiors in a bold red, gray and white palette. Some may find the style sexy and fun, but the overall feel is a tad dated (especially in rooms) and overdone. Clean rooms have flat-screen TVs, minibars and free Wi-Fi, but most are small for the price, and some have unappealing views of a neglected internal courtyard. Aside from a central location within walking distance of major attractions and Termini train station, the other highlight here is the rooftop area, complete with a Mediterranean restaurant, and a deck with two hot tubs and panoramic city views. Palazzo Montemartini is a much more stylish and upscale option for a similar price.
