Walter romarooms is a guest house in Rome’s Esquilino district, about 300 metres from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the Vittorio Emanuele metro station, and 900 metres from the Cavour metro station.
The property offers six room types, from private en-suite rooms — double, twin, triple and quadruple — to beds in mixed and female dormitories with bunk beds, designed for travellers on a tighter budget or in groups. All rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a tea and coffee making set; the private room types also include a flat-screen TV, wardrobe and bathroom with shower and hairdryer.
The property is entirely non-smoking and features a shared terrace and free WiFi. The location, just steps from Termini, makes arriving by train convenient and travelling to the Colosseum, about 1.3 km away, and to the Repubblica stop easy. It’s a practical option for those seeking a no-frills but well-connected stay, without on-site dining but with several bars and restaurants just metres from the entrance.
