Hotel Best Roma is a 4-star property located in the Stazione Termini district, right next to Porta Maggiore, one of the oldest monumental gates to the city of Rome.
The building sits halfway between the Colosseum and the basilicas of San Giovanni in Laterano and Santa Maria Maggiore, in an area well served by metro line A and numerous bus lines, while also being close to the lively evening districts of Pigneto and San Lorenzo. The rooms, furnished with antique-style décor, are air-conditioned, soundproofed and equipped with a flat-screen TV, minibar and private bathroom with hairdryer; some room types offer a balcony, bathtub or garden view.
Continental breakfast is served every morning in the room on the reception floor, with the option of having it delivered directly to the room. General services include a 24-hour reception, laundry service, luggage storage and lift, making the property a practical base for those wishing to explore the Eternal City on foot or by public transport.

All rooms share air conditioning, soundproofed walls, a private bathroom with hairdryer, minibar and flat-screen TV, along with the antique-style furnishings that characterise the whole property.
What sets the different room types apart is mainly the size, which ranges from 9 m² for the Standard Single Room to 21 m² for the Superior Triple Room, along with a few specific details such as balconies with garden views, bathtubs in the superior rooms or a walk-in shower in the Small Double Room. Superior rooms generally offer more interesting views and slightly better finishes than the standard ones, while the triple rooms provide more space for those travelling with company. Choosing between the options therefore makes it easy to balance budget and comfort according to your stay’s needs.

Hotel Best Roma occupies a historic building next to Porta Maggiore, the ancient monumental gate to the city along Via Prenestina and Via Casilina, in a stretch of the capital straddling the Esquilino district and Rome’s liveliest university areas. The Temple of Minerva Medica is just 50 metres away, while Porta Maggiore itself is about 300 metres away, making the area interesting even for a simple evening stroll.
Getting around is made easy by the proximity to two railway stations, Santa Bibiana at 200 metres and Porta Maggiore at 300 metres, as well as Manzoni Metro Station at 450 metres on line A, which reaches the historic centre in just a few minutes. The Colosseum is about 1.5 km away, while the Trevi Fountain and Piazza di Spagna are about 2.5 km away; Ciampino Airport is 11 km away and Fiumicino Airport is 21 km away.
Just steps from the hotel are also Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano, 850 metres away, and the districts of Pigneto and San Lorenzo, known for their nightlife, bars and casual restaurants mostly frequented by university students. Guests staying here can therefore alternate between classic visits to the monuments of ancient Rome, such as the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, and more casual evenings in the surrounding districts, taking advantage in every season of the quick connections offered by metro and bus.
