Guests can choose accommodations with private terraces and/or separate living areas; however, only the rooms facing the Piazza dei Cinquecento (and Roma Termini Station) have views of Rome’s historic Servian Wall. Rooms and suites are classically decorated, with cream linens, tan-colored leather headboards, and pale hardwood floors. The suite categories come with impressive extras, like Ortigia amenities and an excellent ready-to-make cocktail tray with hefty bottles of Nikka Whiskey and Portofino Gin. There are two restaurants at the hotel. Most people head to the more exclusive Panoramic Rooftop Terrace for dinner, but the all-day dining Grand Tour restaurant is a great, more approachable alternative. The menu skews international, but there are Italian dishes as well, with vegetarian and gluten-free options.Read Full ReviewPalazzo MontemartiniDistance from Roma Termini Station: 2-minute walkThe rooms and suites at Palazzo Montemartini are sleek and modern, with smooth lines and curved edges. Furnishings are modular with Italian flair—not only did the bed in my suite appear to hover above the ground, but the headboard, bedside tables, and bed base were made entirely from one piece of white leather. Suites are decorated in a neutral, mostly white palette—a pleasing contrast to the building’s ancient bones and chaotic train station hubbub outside. The hotel itself is housed in a 19th-century grand palazzo opposite Roma Termini Station, previously a transport company headquarters. The hotel restaurant, Senses, is open all day; at lunch and dinner, the menu is mostly Italian, with excellent Asian-influenced main courses. Downstairs, you'll find the large subterranean Thalea Spa, inspired by the nearby Diocletian Baths. It includes a steam room, sauna, salt room, chromotherapy area, swimming pool, and hot tub.Read Full ReviewDoubleTree by Hilton Rome MontiDistance from Roma Termini Station: 8-minute walkDoubleTree by Hilton Rome Monti offers all the comforts of the hotel chain stalwart, but with fresh, Italian interior design. The team has perfected the pared-back, informal look, mixing industrial decor with brightly colored rugs atop herringbone wood floors, and original artwork on the walls. Rooms come with espresso machines, rain showers, and sofa beds for extra guests. The one-bedroom junior suites boast private terraces. Staying in Monti has all the perks you’d expect, like its proximity to major sights such as Teatro dell'Opera (4 minutes away on foot), Trajan’s Market (15 minutes on foot), and Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore (4 minutes on foot). Environmentally minded guests can relax knowing the hotel holds a Green Key award, meaning it adheres to a strict green policy, doing things like actively lowering its use of energy, water, and waste.Read Full ReviewHotel RaffaelloDistance from Roma Termini Station: 9-minute walkThe rooms and suites at Hotel Raffaello are newly renovated, with contemporary furniture including bouclé headboards and globe lights in a neutral color scheme. Junior suites are cleverly designed with a sitting room and lounge area, partitioned from the bedroom with a two-sided desk and television stand. Bathrooms are smartly decorated with granite floors and a shower-bath combination. There’s no in-room espresso machine; in its place is a kettle and a selection of herbal teas and instant coffee. Breakfasts are generous, and in the evenings, the rooftop bar, TraMonti, serves cocktails and a short bar menu of burgers, fries, and salads. This isn’t the hotel for people wanting a roll call of amenities, but what it lacks in on-site offerings, it makes up for with genuinely kind, helpful front desk staff who have an encyclopedic knowledge of Rome.Read Full ReviewAnantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome HotelDistance from Roma Termini Station: 10-minute walkThe Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome is old-school luxury in the truest sense of the word: a big, serious, storied hotel with smart, couldn’t-do-more-for-you doormen; a soaring lobby with soothing decor; classically elegant rooms; and a world-class spa, all perfectly positioned with views of the iconic Diocletian Baths and Piazza Repubblica. Rome’s not short on five-star hotels, but a stay at Anantara Palazzo Naiadi feels like a real event. Plenty of antique furniture, chandeliers, and curated objets d’art decorate the 232 rooms and suites, which are spread across four floors, balancing ancient Roman grandeur with Anantara’s signature sun-kissed sanctuary feel. Rooms come in different shapes and sizes, but even the smallest “premium room” feels grand and spacious, with substantially more living space than most other hotels in Rome.Read Full ReviewThe Fifteen Keys HotelDistance from Roma Termini Station: 10-minute walkThe Fifteen Keys Hotel puts you in the center of the action while offering a place to relax away from the bustle of the most populous city in Italy. The hotel is located in the charming Monti district, a residential neighborhood in close proximity to all the sights in Rome, which gives the converted townhouse a local, secluded feel. It is upscale but has a reasonable price tag, and the home-cooked breakfast each morning adds to the cozy atmosphere of the 15-room property. When it’s nice out, you can dine in the small yet chic courtyard before heading out for a day of adventure in the Eternal City. —Katie HenwoodRead Full ReviewThe St. Regis RomeDistance from Roma Termini Station: 10-minute walkRemember those times when you’ve wanted to stay in a palace? Now’s your chance. This grand old dame, well-positioned near Palazzo Barberini, boasts 161 gilded guest rooms and suites decked out in regal colors of powder blue, cream, and yellow. There are gold and silver accents on pretty much everything. The restored Venetian chandeliers make for a glamorous touch, as do the pops of contemporary and antique artworks. Bathrooms are big, with Marquina black marble tubs and Bottega Veneta toiletries. Keep an eye out for impromptu performances in the hotel by the St. Regis Rome Orchestra, and ask your butler about the property’s Rome Experience tours, which take guests on bespoke tours of venues usually closed to the public (think Renaissance chapels, Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, Biblioteca Casanatense, and San Luigi dei Francesi church).Read Full ReviewGenerator RomeDistance from Roma Termini Station: 11-minute walkWhile your mind might understand that this is a hostel, you likely won't be able to reconcile that fact with how nice it all is. Generator is design-led, but the design is fun, with patterned tile floors at reception and a really cool bar with lime-green stools, Chinese lanterns, decent food, and a perpetually upbeat atmosphere. Double rooms in hostels can be worse for wear—often just a piece of plasterboard between you and the dorm—but Generator doesn’t cut any corners. Each room has a private bathroom, a desk, plenty of storage space for clothes, and some unique design touches. Best of all, they’re quiet—no dorm rowdiness at 2 a.m. Clean, friendly, quiet, and comfortable are all words you don’t normally use to describe hostels, and yet they all apply to Generator.Read Full ReviewCasa MontiDistance from Roma Termini Station: 12-minute walkSmack dab in the center of via Panisperna, one of ancient Rome’s most important crossroads, Casa Monti is a welcome addition to Monti, known for its vintage shops and artist studios. Every one of the 26 rooms and 10 suites is packed with personality, whether it’s the boldly patterned headboards above the king-sized beds, the bespoke striped turquoise wallpaper and colorful lampshades, or the sketches of everyday Roman life on the walls. Take some time to wander around the public spaces, which are filled with custom-made vases, brightly colored knickknacks, one-off ceramic pieces, and interesting artworks and books. Some items are available for purchase, and the hotel staff can point you in the direction of some of the makers and artists if you’re interested in recreating Casa Monti’s style back home.Read Full ReviewThe Rome EditionDistance from Roma Termini Station: 15-minute walkThis 2023 addition to Rome’s boutique hotel scene did not disappoint, with sleek, contemporary rooms and suites and a peaceful garden and rooftop plunge pool. Rooms are decidedly modern, with custom-made furniture and minimal accessories—it’s all about understated elegance here. The location, just around the corner from Via Veneto, is an added boon, but the hotel is so lovely that you’d be forgiven for just wanting to stay in with room service, too. The 93 rooms—including 17 suites and 2 penthouses—don’t scrimp on the design elements the brand is renowned for: think muted tones and immaculately designed custom-made furniture. In keeping with the location, there’s plenty of Made in Italy, including Canaletto walnut wood accents and bathroom basins made from Carrara marble.Read Full ReviewSoho House RomeDistance from Roma Termini Station: 15-minute walkSan Lorenzo is a bohemian student neighborhood located just north of Termini station, where graffiti-decorated streets are lined with indie boutiques, record stores, and pop-up cinemas. Soho House Rome’s brutalist façade is a head-turner, but it’s the interiors that really grab your attention. Look up from reception, and you’ll see a gallery space showcasing work by a roster of hip young artists, or linger in the lobby, where young, smiley staff chat with young, trendy creatives as if they’ve known each other their entire lives. (Listen a little closer, and you’ll realize they’re just pitching them their next screenplay.) There are 49 guest rooms and 20 apartments to choose from, all with unparalleled views that stretch across the Eternal City. The signature Soho Health Club studios and gym spaces are open 24/7, as is the swimming pool.Read Full ReviewFAQ:How far is Roma Termini from the city center?Rome Termini Station is located in the Esquilino neighborhood, around a 20-minute walk from the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. The elegant gardens of Villa Borghese are around a 25-minute walk away, while the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon are around 30 minutes. Rome is an extremely walkable city; you’ll naturally pass some of the world’s most iconic sights on the way to your destination.

However, the hotels on this list just outside Roma Termini Station (near Piazza dei Cinquecento), have been selected because they have excellent security (and beautiful, luxurious entrances). As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe when staying in them, and wouldn’t hesitate to return on my own.How we choose the best hotels in Rome near Roma Termini StationEvery hotel review on this list has been written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has visited that property.
