RATTAZZI ROMA CENTRo is a guest house in the Esquilino district of Rome, about 300 metres from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and a few hundred metres from Termini Station.
The property, entirely non-smoking, offers two room types with private bathroom, air conditioning and a terrace overlooking the garden and the city’s rooftops: a 14 sqm double and a 16 sqm triple, both designed for short stays in the historic centre. Each unit has a desk, flat-screen TV, refrigerator and linen provided, features useful for both business trips and cultural holidays.
The location is one of the most appreciated strengths: the Vittorio Emanuele and Termini metro stops are a few minutes’ walk away, as are restaurants, cafés and the main archaeological sites in the centre, from the Colosseum to the Domus Aurea. The reception, staffed 24 hours a day and able to communicate in English and Italian, assists guests with information about the area and getting around, making the guest house a practical base for those who want to explore the capital’s most famous monuments on foot.
The two room types available at RATTAZZI ROMA CENTRo share the same basic features: private bathroom with shower, air conditioning, desk, flat-screen TV and a terrace overlooking the garden and the rooftops of the Esquilino district. Bed linen and towels are provided for every stay, while the in-room refrigerator lets you keep drinks and snacks without having to go out.
What sets the two options apart is mainly capacity: the Double Room, at 14 sqm, is designed for two people with a large double bed, while the Triple Room, larger at 16 sqm, adds a single bed to the double and is suited to small groups or families with a child. In both cases, the city and garden view remains a distinctive feature compared to other properties in the area, which often lack outdoor spaces.
A 14 sqm double room, the most compact of the two options, designed for couples. It has a terrace with garden and city views, air conditioning, a desk and a private bathroom with shower. The in-room refrigerator and flat-screen TV complete an essential yet functional solution for those visiting Rome without needing large spaces.
At 16 sqm, this is the largest room in the property, suitable for three people thanks to the combination of a large double bed and a single bed. Here too there is a terrace with garden and city views, plus a private bathroom with shower, air conditioning and a refrigerator. The ideal choice for small groups or families wanting to stay close to Termini.
RATTAZZI ROMA CENTRo offers a shared terrace and a garden, useful spaces for relaxing after a day among the monuments of the centre. The property is entirely non-smoking and has a lift, safe, lockers and heating, as well as alarm and security active 24 hours a day. The reception, always operational, speaks English and Italian and is a constant point of reference for guests.
The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, bed linen and cleaning products, as well as a desk, dining area and refrigerator. Some units also have a living area and city or garden view, a detail not common among guest houses in the Termini area.
On the connectivity front, free WiFi is available throughout the property, while there is no parking or on-site dining service: those arriving by car or wishing to dine on-site will need to rely on the many venues in the surrounding neighbourhood.
RATTAZZI ROMA CENTRo is located in the Esquilino district, just steps from Termini Station and about 300 metres from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. The lively, well-served area blends historic buildings with everyday Roman life, with bars, restaurants and shops open until late; Ristorante Tasting and Monti are just 50 metres from the entrance, while Caffè del Portico is about 250 metres away.
Connections are one of the area’s main strengths: Vittorio Emanuele Metro Station is 250 metres away and Roma Termini Metro Station is 600 metres away, both on line A, convenient for reaching the historic centre and the Vatican without changes. Roma Termini Station, 500 metres away, also offers national rail connections and links to Fiumicino Airport (about 20 km), while Ciampino Airport is about 12 km away. On foot, it takes just a few minutes to reach the National Roman Museum (650 metres) and the Domus Aurea (850 metres).
Guests staying here can spend their days exploring ancient Rome on foot: the Colosseum is less than a kilometre away, the Roman Forum is 1.5 km away and Palatine Hill is 1.4 km away, all reachable without transport. On summer evenings, Nicola Calipari Garden, 250 metres away, offers some greenery amid the urban ruins, while in winter the area’s many museums, including Palazzo Venezia, remain a good alternative on shorter days. Piazza della Repubblica and Piazza Barberini, both within 1.5 km, complete a walking itinerary that also takes in the Trevi Fountain.
