The Cambridge Hotel is a 3-star property in Rome’s Termini district, just 400 metres from the train station and 300 metres from the Castro Pretorio metro stop.
The hotel offers seven room types, from the more compact Singles to the spacious Superior Double rooms with a whirlpool bathtub, all equipped with air conditioning, TV and minibar. The indoor reading room and the 24-hour front desk make it possible to organise excursions or request tourist information at any time of day.
General services include free WiFi, a shuttle service, luggage storage and easier access for guests with disabilities; breakfast can also be requested in the room. The location, set back from the bustle of the station but just steps from the main rail and metro connections, is particularly appreciated by couples. The Cambridge Hotel suits travellers looking for a practical, affordable base for getting around on foot or by public transport to Rome’s historic centre, between the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and Piazza della Repubblica.
The Cambridge Hotel offers seven room types, from the Single designed for solo travellers to the Triple and Superior Triple solutions suited to small groups or families. Room sizes range from the 12 sqm Single to the 25 sqm Superior Double, the most spacious and the only one with a whirlpool bathtub. Rooms with a private bathroom feature air conditioning, TV and minibar, while soundproofing helps ensure a restful stay despite the proximity to Termini station.
The Superior rooms, while designed for a more essential stay, share the property’s basic comforts with the other room types, while the Triple stands out for offering two different bed configurations, useful for adapting to the needs of families or groups of friends visiting Rome.
The Single Room is the Cambridge Hotel’s most compact solution, with 12 sqm designed for solo travellers. Featuring a private bathroom with tub, air conditioning and minibar, it guarantees an essential, soundproofed stay just steps from Termini station.
The Double Room offers 15 sqm with a private bathroom featuring a tub and flat-screen TV. Designed for couples, it combines air conditioning and minibar in a space larger than the Single.
The Twin Room shares the same 15 sqm size as the Double but offers two separate single beds, ideal for friends or colleagues travelling together who prefer independent beds.
At 19 sqm, the Triple Room is the most flexible solution for families or small groups: it can be set up with a double bed and a single bed, or with three single beds, depending on your needs.
The Superior Double Room is the largest at the Cambridge Hotel, at 25 sqm, and the only one with a whirlpool bathtub, plus a flat-screen TV and minibar, for a more comfortable stay.
The Superior Single Room is designed for solo travellers on a tighter budget: a single bed in a simpler solution compared to the classic Single Room.
The Superior Triple Room offers three single beds in an affordable option for groups or families who don’t need the larger spaces of the standard Triple.
The Cambridge Hotel provides guests with free WiFi throughout the property, plus a shuttle service and a 24-hour front desk for tourist information or booking excursions. Guests travelling with pets can stay on request, while those with heavy luggage will find the luggage storage and express check-in convenient.
Services designed for mobility and accessibility include an elevator, rooms for guests with disabilities and family-friendly solutions for those travelling with children. The property is entirely non-smoking and features heating, air conditioning and smoke alarms throughout. Guests who want to enjoy breakfast comfortably can request the service directly in the room, a useful option for those who prefer to start the day at a relaxed pace before heading out to sightsee in the centre.
The Cambridge Hotel is located on Via Palestro, in the Castro Pretorio district just steps from Termini station, a lively yet compact area, with small bars and restaurants just a short walk from the entrance, such as La Grotta Romana and Alice Pizza, both about 50 metres away.
The location is convenient for those arriving in or leaving Rome without a car: Roma Termini station is just 400 metres away, the Castro Pretorio metro stop is 300 metres away, and Termini metro station is 450 metres away, with direct connections to the historic centre and the city’s main transport hubs. Rome Ciampino Airport is about 12 km away, while Fiumicino Airport is reachable in about 21 km, both connected to Termini station by trains and shuttle buses.
On foot or by metro, some of Rome’s best-known attractions are easily reached: the National Roman Museum, about 650 metres away, tells the city’s history through archaeological finds of great value, while Piazza della Repubblica, with its monumental fountain, is 800 metres away. Continuing towards the centre, you reach the Colosseum (1.8 km) and the Trevi Fountain (1.9 km), both open to visitors year-round, with heavier tourist traffic in the summer months. Porta Pia, 750 metres away, and the Domus Aurea, 1.7 km away, are also among the destinations reachable on a 20-minute walk. For an outdoor break, Villa Borghese, 1.6 km away, offers large green spaces ideal for a stroll or a visit to its museums, particularly pleasant in spring and autumn when temperatures are milder.
