Why we love it
The setting
Hotel Britannia is centrally located in Rome, just a short walk from Piazza della Repubblica and the Termini transport hub. From here, most of the sights of the historic center can be reached on foot. The Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Villa Medici and Trajan's Forum are within easy walking distance. The building is a restored townhouse that offers guests comfort and tranquility, a fine place to relax after a day spent in Rome. There are two metro lines at Termini Station, so it is easy to organize day trips around the city and airport transfers from here.
What to expect
Rooms are compact and functional rather than luxurious. The Small Double room on this plan sleeps two and comes with blackout curtains, air conditioning, which is a must in Roman summers, and double-glazed windows to ward off city noise. Breakfast is served each morning in a room next to the lobby. The front desk is staffed 24 hours and knows the area well, so it's easy to get dinner recommendations or arrange an early-morning cab. This hotel isn't flashy, but it's clean and well-run, and many attractions are within walking distance.
Things to do nearby
The Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps attract many tourists, but the streets between them offer not only sights to see but also a pleasant place to stroll. At the top of the Pincio Hill stands the Villa Medici, with its gardens and a fine view over the city. Trajan's Forum and the Imperial Forum are on the way to the Colosseum. To take a break from exploring the ruins, you can pop into the shops along Via Nazionale. The Baths of Diocletian and the National Roman Museum are also near Piazza della Repubblica.
Best for
Ideal for couples or friends visiting Rome for the first or second time who want to walk to the sights and save on a grander hotel. With little luggage you'll be comfortable in the compact room; those wanting more space or a pool might look elsewhere. The central location also suits a short stay of a few nights, when time matters more than space.
