The rooms, spread across several types ranging from the Double Room to the Junior Suite with a separate sitting area, are air-conditioned and feature satellite TV, a minibar and a private bathroom with toiletries and a hairdryer; some options offer a balcony or bathtub, others an independent living area designed for families and small groups.

Room types

Hotel Napoleon offers eight room types, from the compact 14-sqm Single-Use Double Room to the 30-sqm Junior Suite with a separate sitting area and sofa bed. All options are air-conditioned, feature a private bathroom with toiletries and a hairdryer, a flat-screen TV and a minibar, ensuring the same level of comfort regardless of the size chosen.

The main differences concern the view over the inner courtyard, the presence of a balcony or terrace in some superior rooms, a bathtub instead of a shower, and the independent living area of the Superior Double/Twin Room. The Family Room, with single beds and an extra-large double bed, is designed for groups of up to four people, while the Junior Suite remains the most spacious choice for those seeking more privacy between bedroom and living area.

Location & what to see

Hotel Napoleon is located in the Esquilino district, one of Rome’s most multiethnic and lively neighbourhoods, which grew up around Termini station in the late 19th century. The square the hotel faces, Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, is home to the Nicola Calipari Garden and retains a 19th-century atmosphere in the arcades surrounding it, while nearby streets are lined with markets, ethnic restaurants and small cafés such as Gatsby Cafè, just steps from the entrance.

Getting around is easy thanks to the Vittorio Emanuele metro stop, about 100 metres away, and Termini Laziali station, 400 metres away, a hub for regional trains and connections to Fiumicino (20 km) and Ciampino (11 km) airports. A few minutes’ walk also brings you to the Manzoni metro station and several sites of historical interest, from the Temple of Minerva Medica to the Domus Aurea, about 750 metres away.

Guests staying at the Napoleon can reach the Colosseum on foot in just over 15 minutes (about 900 metres) and visit the National Roman Museum 950 metres away, as well as the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, just 550 metres away. Continuing towards the historic centre, you reach the Trevi Fountain (1.9 km) and Piazza di Spagna (2.2 km), both reachable on foot in about twenty-five minutes or with a short metro ride. The area is busy year-round, with a noticeable increase in tourists in spring and autumn, when milder temperatures make long walks among the city centre’s monuments more enjoyable.
