Hotel Diocleziano is a small, 35-room hotel two blocks from Termini Station, but tucked away from the chaos on the narrow Via Gaeta. Amenities include a small fitness center with a sauna and free soft drinks from the in-room minibars, which are replenished daily. While the rooms are comfortable, the overall atmosphere is a little underwhelming and the decor lacks character. Deluxe rooms have balconies and views overlooking the Diocletian Baths. The nearby Welcome Piram Hotel is more elegant and rates are often lower.
Scene
Classic, small hotel with simple decor
The small, quiet lobby and reception area have a simple and classic atmosphere, with gray fabric sofas and a small flat-screen TV over a wooden table filled with paperback books. The breakfast room is spacious and bright with large glass mosaic on the ceiling, hanging tapestries, and a bar area with green banquettes. From the terrace of the only deluxe room on the top floor there’s a beautiful view of the Baths of Diocletian and the cloister of the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. The clean rooms have a chain hotel vibe, and while overall it’s a nice, well-run property, travelers who want more frills and style might be disappointed.
Location
Near Termini station and public transportation, walkable to many attractions
Hotel Diocleziano is two blocks from Termini station and the Piazza della Repubblica, off a narrow, quiet street in an area with many hotels, though it can feel a bit deserted at night. Just outside the hotel are the Baths of Diocletian, the oldest in Rome. The hotel is well served by public transportation and is close to most Centro Storico attractions. Fit travelers can walk to the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum in about 25 minutes.
Rooms
Clean rooms with free minibars and bland decor
The clean rooms have simple, chain hotel-like decor, consisting of blue carpeting with gold dots, cream-colored bedding and simple wooden furniture with gold trim. Medium-sized bathrooms have tub/shower combos and floating sinks with a small area for toiletries. The rooms have flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee making facilities, safes, hairdryers, and free soft drinks from the minibar. The Deluxe room has a small balcony with tables and chairs and views over the Diocletian Baths.
Features
Breakfast room and bar, gym with sauna and hydromassage showers
Aside from the bright breakfast room and bar, which serves snacks, the main amenity is a small gym with a sauna and pod-like hydromassage showers. There’s an internet corner with three desktop computers and the hotel offers laundry and ironing services.
