Central Lodge Hotel is a 3-star property in the Esquilino district of Rome, about a ten-minute walk from Termini station and less than a kilometre from the Colosseum.
The hotel occupies a converted historic building and offers six room types, from the more compact Budget Double Room to the Quadruple Room with private bathroom designed for families or small groups. All accommodations are air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen TV, private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and toiletries; a room with disabled access is also available, featuring a walk-in shower.
Common amenities include a shared lounge, a tour desk, luggage storage and free WiFi throughout the property. The staff, highly praised by guests, offer private check-in and assistance in organising visits and excursions around the city. The location, just a few hundred metres from Vittorio Emanuele metro station and from Termini and Santa Bibiana railway stations, makes the property a practical base for those visiting Rome without a car, whether as a couple or a family.
Central Lodge Hotel offers six room types, designed to meet different needs: from couples looking for a budget solution to families needing several beds under one roof. All rooms share some basic amenities — air conditioning, flat-screen TV, private bathroom with shower and toiletries — but vary considerably in size, capacity and bed configuration, from the 14 square metres of the Budget Double Room to the 26 of the Quadruple Room.
Among the available options, one room stands out for disabled access, featuring a walk-in shower designed to ensure a comfortable stay even for guests with specific mobility needs. The Triple and Quadruple Rooms, with single beds alongside double beds, are well suited to groups of friends or families, while the Double Room remains the most suitable choice for couples looking for simplicity without giving up essential comforts.
The Double Room is the hotel’s most classic option, with 18 square metres and a French double bed, designed for couples looking for a simple and functional space in the heart of Rome.
Larger than the standard Double Room, the Triple Room offers 21 square metres and the combination of a single bed with an extra-large double bed, ideal for a small group or a family with a child.
The most spacious of the available rooms, with 26 square metres and capacity for four people: two single beds alongside a double bed make it suitable for families or groups of friends visiting Rome.
The most compact room in the property, at 14 square metres, designed for those seeking a budget solution without giving up a private bathroom with walk-in shower, bidet and small courtesy touches such as a welcome chocolate.
The only room in the hotel designed for accessibility, with a bathroom featuring a walk-in shower for guests with reduced mobility, plus the flexibility to be set up as a double or twin room.
Central Lodge Hotel provides guests with free WiFi throughout the property, air conditioning in every room and a heating service for the colder months. Those arriving by plane can rely on the airport shuttle, while those getting around the city will find the tour desk and concierge service useful for organising visits and itineraries.
For moments of relaxation, a shared lounge is available, and guests travelling with pets will find dedicated bowls. Security is guaranteed 24 hours a day, with an in-property safe and access via magnetic keys. Particular attention is also given to accessibility, with rooms designed for guests with disabilities.
Rooms feature a private bathroom with bathtub or shower, complimentary toiletries, hairdryer and bed linen, while breakfast can also be requested directly in the room from the bar.
Central Lodge Hotel is located in the Esquilino district, a lively, popular area near Termini station, where ethnic eateries, small restaurants such as Trattoria Vecchia Rome just 40 metres away, and neighbourhood cafés such as Della Ceca, 250 metres away, all coexist. It is an authentic part of Rome, less touristy than the historic centre but extremely convenient for getting around in any direction.
Vittorio Emanuele metro station, on line A, is 200 metres away, while Termini Laziali railway station is about 500 metres away: from here regional trains, high-speed services and connections to Fiumicino airport, 20 km away, and Ciampino, about 11.6 km away, depart. The Colosseum can be reached on a 10-minute walk (800 metres), while the Domus Aurea is 650 metres away.
The surrounding area offers both archaeological sites and everyday Roman life. A short walk away is the National Roman Museum, about 950 metres, with its collections of ancient art, and the Basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, not far from Porta Maggiore, about one kilometre away. In summer, the nearby Nicola Calipari Garden, 100 metres away, offers some greenery for a break; in any season, the historic centre, with the Imperial Forums and Trevi Fountain less than two kilometres away, remains comfortably reachable on foot or by metro in just a few minutes.
