Friendship Place is a family-run guest house located on the sixth floor of a residential building with an elevator, just 200 metres from Rome’s Termini Station.
The property offers colourful rooms with parquet flooring, all equipped with air conditioning, a minibar and a private bathroom with a hairdryer. Some room types are located in a separate building nearby, reachable within a few minutes’ walk from the main premises where check-in takes place.
The proximity to Termini makes Friendship Place a convenient base for those who want to get around independently by public transport: the property has quick access to both metro lines and is just two stops from the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. It’s a suitable option for travellers who prioritise connections above all else, rather than the services of a traditional hotel, and couples in particular appreciate the location, rated 8.7. Nearby you’ll find bars, budget-friendly restaurants and a few minor historic sites, ideal for a first exploration of the neighbourhood before heading towards the historic centre.
The rooms at Friendship Place share some essential features: air conditioning, a private bathroom with a hairdryer, a minibar and a flat-screen TV, designed for a practical stay just steps from the station. The two available room types differ mainly in location and size: one is located in the main building with a view, the other in a separate annexe reachable in about five minutes on foot, where check-in is still carried out at the main property.
Both options offer a flexible bed configuration, with the choice between a double bed or single beds, making them suitable both for couples and for two people travelling together who don’t wish to share a bed. The room in the main building, slightly larger, also offers a view from the window, while the one in the annexe favours the quiet of a building separate from the main flow of guests.
Located in the main building, this is the largest room in the property at 18 sqm and the only one with a view from the window. Air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom with a hairdryer, it allows you to choose between a double bed and single beds depending on the needs of your stay.
More compact than the room in the main building, this room type is located in a separate annexe about a 5-minute walk away, while check-in remains at the main premises. Air-conditioned and with a private bathroom, it’s designed for those who don’t need a more central position within the property.
Friendship Place offers guests a 24-hour front desk, convenient for those arriving in Rome with unpredictable travel schedules, along with practical services such as luggage storage, laundry service and an on-site ATM. The entirely non-smoking property has an elevator that makes all upper floors accessible, and also offers a safe, an on-site mini-market and free WiFi throughout all areas.
The rooms are equipped with a private bathroom, shower, hairdryer, complimentary toiletries, a refrigerator and air conditioning, as well as a desk and wardrobe for longer stays. Daily housekeeping and the option to request extra towels and linens complete an offering geared primarily towards an adult clientele, as the property is reserved exclusively for guests of legal age.
Friendship Place is located in the Stazione Termini district, the busiest and most cosmopolitan area of Rome, just 200 metres from the railway station. It’s a lively neighbourhood, full of budget-friendly spots and small restaurants open late, such as Stazione1000 and El Norteno just steps from the property, but it isn’t the monumental historic centre that many expect when visiting Rome for the first time.
The location guarantees very quick connections: Termini Station is reachable in about 300 metres, while the Termini and Castro Pretorio metro stations are 350 and 450 metres away respectively, giving access to both lines A and B. The Colosseum is 1.6 km away, the Trevi Fountain 1.8 km away and Piazza di Spagna about 2 km away, all distances that can be covered on foot or in a few metro stops. Ciampino and Fiumicino airports are 12 and 21 km away respectively.
Those staying here can spend their days exploring the historic centre on foot, visiting the National Roman Museum 550 metres away or the Servian Walls, remains of the ancient republican city walls, 350 metres from the property. Nearby you’ll also find Piazza della Repubblica and the Ninfeo Park, handy for an outdoor break between visits, while evenings are well suited to a tour of the area’s bars, such as Rio or Bar Montebello.
