Hotel Porta Pia is a 3-star property in Rome that takes its name from the gate of the same name in the ancient Aurelian Walls, located just steps from the entrance. The building, dating back to the 19th century, occupies the second floor of a fully renovated property and retains original wooden floors paired with modern furnishings.
The rooms, around 14 square metres, are air-conditioned and equipped with flat-screen satellite TV, a private bathroom with shower and toiletries; some also offer a view over the city. The hotel provides free WiFi in all common areas and a service run by multilingual staff, particularly appreciated by couples.
The location, in the Piazza Fiume and Villa Torlonia area, allows several points of interest to be reached on foot and comfortable travel towards the centre thanks to the nearby Castro Pretorio metro station and Termini station, reachable in a few minutes by bus. A convenient address for those who want to visit Rome while staying away from the traffic of the more central districts.
Hotel Porta Pia offers two types of double/twin rooms, both around 14 square metres and designed for a maximum of two guests. They share air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, a flat-screen TV and the wooden floors that characterise the entire historic second-floor building. When booking, guests can indicate their preferred bed configuration, either a large double bed or separate single beds.
The Economy Room, with a possible city view, is the simplest option and suited to short stays. The Superior Room adds a few extra details, such as a bidet, hairdryer, safe and a set for making tea and coffee, making it the ideal choice for those who want some extra comfort without changing the hotel’s price range.
This room, elegantly furnished and air-conditioned, is the only one of the two room types to offer a glimpse of the city. It has a desk, flat-screen satellite TV and an en-suite bathroom with shower. When booking, guests can choose between the large double bed or the two separate single beds.
Compared to the Economy, this Superior room offers a more complete set of amenities: a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, a set for making tea and coffee, a wardrobe and a safe. An option designed for those staying a few extra days who want some additional practical touches.
Hotel Porta Pia offers free WiFi throughout, air conditioning and non-smoking rooms, with the option to request family or soundproofed accommodation.
