Bob W Rome Testaccio
Really impressed with the hotel. 30 minute walk to the centre and close to a station to the airport. Also has restaurants nearby. Balconies are huge, and the bathroom was modern and clean. The only possible downside I could think of is that the bottom sheet was kinda grubby. And that's me really ...

Hotel Nazionale
Excellent hotel in all aspects, with a great location. Little bit of construction work going on whilst we were there but it wasn’t really an issue, just sometimes the elevator took a bit longer. Definitely would stay there again.
