Vertex Homes is a guest house in the Esquilino district of Rome, 300 metres from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and a few steps from Termini Station.
The property offers three room types, from the most compact single to the 20-square-metre double, all air-conditioned, soundproofed and equipped with a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a fridge, an electric kettle and a set of toiletries. WiFi is free throughout the property, while there is no parking reserved for guests.
The location, right next to Termini Station and the Vittorio Emanuele metro stop, makes Vertex Homes a practical base for those visiting Rome without a car: the Colosseum is about one kilometre away, the Trevi Fountain one and a half kilometres, and the main connections to Ciampino and Fiumicino airports depart from the station just steps away. Couples especially praise the location, rated 8.9, while those looking for on-site dining or a more traditional hotel-style welcome will find a more informal offering, typical of city guest houses.
Vertex Homes offers three options designed for different needs: a compact single room of 10 square metres, ideal for solo travellers, and two double rooms, one of 14 and one of 20 square metres, both with a large double bed. All rooms share air conditioning, soundproofing, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a hairdryer and bed linen, as well as a small fridge and an electric kettle for daily use.
The main difference between the room types concerns the size and the bathroom arrangement: the smaller double room has a shared bathroom, while the larger double and the single room have a private bathroom with shower. Careful finishes, such as the parquet flooring in the single room, and the view of the quiet street in the doubles, add a distinctive touch to each room without sacrificing functionality.
The more compact of the two doubles, at 14 square metres with a quiet view over the street. It’s the only room in the property with a shared bathroom, a more affordable option compared to the other room types. It still features air conditioning, soundproofing, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a seating area with a desk.
At 20 square metres, this is the most spacious room in the property, almost double the size of the double with shared bathroom. It has a private bathroom with shower, a view over the quiet street, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and soundproofed walls, as well as a seating area with a desk, handy for those travelling on business.
Designed for solo travellers, this 10-square-metre room stands out for its parquet flooring and private bathroom with shower, a feature not to be taken for granted in a single room. The room is completed by air conditioning, soundproofing, a wardrobe and a seating area with a flat-screen TV and cable channels.
Vertex Homes provides guests with non-smoking rooms featuring air conditioning, soundproofing and parquet or wood flooring, along with daily housekeeping and 24-hour security. WiFi is free throughout the property, a detail much appreciated by those travelling for work or wishing to stay connected during their stay in Rome.
Each room has a private or shared bathroom with shower, hairdryer, complimentary toiletries and bed linen, as well as a wardrobe or walk-in closet for storing luggage. Everyday practicalities are also covered, with an electric kettle, microwave and fridge available, useful for those who prefer to organise their own meals during their stay.
Family rooms are also available on request, while the property does not offer reserved parking or on-site dining: those looking for these services will still find numerous bars and trattorias just steps from the entrance.
Vertex Homes is located in the Esquilino district, a few steps from Termini Station and in the beating heart of Rome, in a lively area full of trattorias, bars and small shops that animate the streets around Via Principe Amedeo.

Piazza della Repubblica with the Naiad Fountain is 650 metres away, ideal for an evening stroll, and the Trevi Fountain is 1.5 km away.
