Alex Place is a guest house in the Nomentano district of Rome, 650 metres from Termini station and 350 metres from the Castro Pretorio metro stop. The property stands out for its rooms painted in bright colours with contemporary furnishings, a detail that breaks with the anonymous look of many budget accommodations in the centre.
It’s a good fit especially for travellers who get around on foot or by public transport and want to stay close to the station without giving up a good connection to the historic centre: the Colosseum can be reached in about 10 minutes by metro, while the Baths of Diocletian are just one kilometre away. The rooms, ranging from double to quadruple, come with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a fridge and a private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries.
Among the shared facilities, the furnished terrace, free WiFi throughout the property, 24-hour front desk and elevator stand out. Couples in particular have praised the property’s location, rated 8.8 for a two-person stay, confirming Alex Place as a practical base for those visiting Rome without seeking luxury but with an eye for logistical convenience.
Alex Place offers three room types designed for groups and travelling parties of different sizes, from a double with single beds up to a quadruple. All share air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a fridge and a private bathroom complete with hairdryer and toiletries, elements that guarantee a consistent level of comfort regardless of the room chosen.
What sets the rooms apart is mainly the size and the flexibility in bed configuration: the Double Room/Twin Room with Single Beds, the most compact at 14 sqm, can be arranged in different ways thanks to two alternative layouts. The Triple and Quadruple rooms rise to 21 sqm and add details such as a safe, wardrobe and tiled flooring, with the Quadruple also including a bunk bed to accommodate families or small groups. The variety of available bed combinations makes the property adaptable to different needs, from couples to groups of friends.

Alex Place is located in the Nomentano district, a residential area close to Rome’s historic centre where early-twentieth-century buildings, small local shops and the proximity to the large Termini railway station coexist. It’s an area lived in more by Romans than by tourists, with cafés such as Bar Montebello and Rio a few hundred metres away and restaurants offering varied cuisine, from the Japanese Hokkaido to the trattoria La Grotta Romana, both less than 100 metres from the property.
Connections are one of the strengths of the location: Termini station is just 500 metres away, while the Castro Pretorio metro stop, on line B, is only 350 metres away and allows the Colosseum to be reached in about 10 minutes. The Termini Laziali station for regional trains is also 700 metres away. Those arriving by air will find Ciampino airport 12 km away and Fiumicino airport 21 km away, both connected to the centre by shuttle buses and direct trains.
On foot, in about ten minutes you can reach historically significant sites such as the Servian Wall, 500 metres away, and the National Roman Museum, 750 metres away, housed within the complex of the Baths of Diocletian. Piazza della Repubblica, with its monumental fountain, is 900 metres away, while Villa Borghese, Rome’s large public park, is about 1.6 km away and is an ideal destination for a walk or a picnic on warmer days. For those wanting to venture towards the archaeological heart of the city, the Colosseum is 1.9 km away and the Trevi Fountain 2 km away, both comfortably reachable on foot or with a short metro ride.
