StanleyandGus Posted September 23, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Check the Italy posts, it’s a common topic there. However, Albergo Abruzzi, which is in the same piazza as the Pantheon, is as central as you can get, and was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted September 23, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Keeping in mind that the historic center of Rome is not cheap, what is your budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted September 23, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Now that this has been moved to the Italy board, the best place for it, please read down the board. There are many recommendations for hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splurged a little and got one of the corner suites overlooking the Pantheon out one window and the fountain out the other. The "elevator" was terrifying and was best used as a luggage shuttle. I took the stairs. The pictures were taken from our windows(which open) and from under the Pantheon dome looking at the hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is walkable to everything except perhaps the Vatican, which is the outlier. There is also a taxi stand conveniently located just on the right-hand side of the Pantheon itself, should you need one. Pantheon area hotels: Albergo del Senato (near the Albergo Abruzzi, with similar views). Albergo Santa Chiara (located just behind the Pantheon) Slightly less expensive but near Piazza Navona (couple of blocks from the Pantheon): Hotel Navona Hotel Smeraldo If you want to be closer to the Colosseum/Forum and other ancient Rome sites: Hotel Nerva I've stayed at all of the above except Hotel Smeraldo (friends have stayed there and liked it).

vjblk Posted September 24, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 24, 2019 We have stayed at the Albergo Santa Chiara 3 times pre and post cruise. Nice location. Rooms aren't large but they are clean and beds are comfy. They serve a nice breakfast. We found the location to be great. Quiet. Staff was friendly.

counsdr Posted September 30, 2019 #10 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Our TA is looking into the Hotel Traiano pre cruise. It’s not getting great reviews on travel sites and I wonder if anyone has stayed there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMDPhoenix Posted October 1, 2019 #11 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Any reviews for hotel forum or realis Trevi 95? Doing 2 days before and 2 days after cruise for 6 of us in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms.sunburn Posted October 6, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 6, 2019 We stayed one night pre-cruise here: http://www.internazionaledomus.com/ right next to the Spanish steps and a metro stop. Post-cruise we stayed here: https://www.interno7luxuryrooms.com/ which was great for shopping. I'd highly recommend both. Neither were overly expensive.

LisaSp Posted October 9, 2019 #13 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Highly recommend Boutique Hotel Campo de Fiori. It was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheJourney Posted February 17, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I looked at several since I, too, will be looking to stay there for the first time next year before a Viking cruise. Pretty sure I've decided on the Hotel Barocco - in the Piazza Barberini area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for something that offers a complimentary breakfast buffet - since it seems many do. Any of the ones mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the ones mentioned? I can vouch that breakfast is included at all of the hotels I listed that I've actually stayed at. I haven't stayed at Hotel Smeraldo but I'd guess they do as well. It's very common in Italian hotels (but not necessarily at chain hotels in Italy that are not Italian-based, if that makes sense). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
