2-Star Hotels in Lazio, Italy

Just come back from a 4 night stay here with my 3 children. Absolutely stunning resort and it was more than i was expecting. The staff are so friendly and can't do enough for you, the resort itself is amazing and so clean. The atmosphere was fantastic and me and my children had the best little get away here. Im so glad I changed my mind at rebooking this place, we can't wait to return.

The location is fantastic. It's close to the train station, the Colosseum, and the Trevi Fountain (about 1.5-2 kilometers on foot). There are also plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. However, there's almost never anyone at the reception. The room is basic, and the furniture has seen better days :))) but on the plus side, the bedding is clean, there's a set of towels for each guest, and a mini-fridge in the room.

It was difficult to get inside because there is a combination lock on the main door. Also, the room wasn't ready at check-in time. Everything else was fine.

Although it's a bit far from the center of Rome, the shuttle bus service in the mornings and evenings, costing €2.5 one way, was very convenient. There's also parking available, so it might be even more convenient for international tourists to rent a car. There were even spaces for RVs. As the name suggests, it's designed like a very small town, with one restaurant and a small supermarket. I overlooked that there was a pool when I booked, which was a shame because I couldn't use it. The staff were also very kind. When I returned from an outing around 7 PM and told the information desk attendant that the shower in my room wasn't producing hot water, they said they'd 'take care of it in about 20-30 minutes.' I was grateful, thinking, 'They're fixing it today, not tomorrow!' As soon as we got back to our room, a maintenance person arrived, repaired the shower in about 10-15 minutes, and got the hot water running again. When I reported that the coin laundry machine wasn't working even after I'd put money in, someone came to fix it about 5 minutes after I reported it. While it would be best if facilities and machines didn't break down, I was very grateful for how quickly they responded to repairs. Next time, I'd like to rent a car and bring my swimsuit to stay here again.

The room was small but very clean. The handsome guy at the front desk was very attentive and patient, making people feel the warmth and warmth of Italians.

Great location, 12 minutes walk from the colloseum, 8 minutes from Terkini station. There are cafes and small convenience stores around. Great base to discover the city on foot. The accommodation is very clean, room was decent size. Andrea was a great help, thank you. He contact me via WhatsApp in advance, giving me very detailed instructions how to check in, as well as valuable information about the area and ”must-do”s. Thank you once again, great experience.

🇮🇹Rome Hostel Recommendation: JO&JOE I spent ages researching online before choosing this hostel. Everyone said its location and service were superb, and I totally agree!!! The hostel is conveniently located near Termini Station, but it's not in what's considered a 'dangerous' area around the station. It's a fifteen-minute walk from the station, situated right on a main street, with no dodgy alleyways. At night, there are streetlights everywhere and plenty of tourists around, which I think is really important for female travelers. Most attractions are within walking distance (the only one you'll need public transport for is the Vatican 🇻🇦). The hostel is very close to both bus stops 🚏 and metro stations 🚇, and you can get directly to the Vatican by both. There are also many supermarkets nearby, both large and small. If you buy your own food there, 10 Euros a day for meals is more than enough. I stayed in an 8-bed mixed dorm. Although it was an 8-bed room, there were quite a lot of girls. (I also often met Chinese 🇨🇳 girls, which was super convenient for finding travel buddies to hang out and take photos with!!!) The 8-bed room was very spacious, with one large bathroom and one small one (the large bathroom had a hairdryer). Note: Only the bottom bunks have curtains. (If you want a bottom bunk, make sure to request it when you book!) If you sleep on a bottom bunk, whether you get a good night's sleep completely depends on the 'sleep quality' of the person in the top bunk. Because the person above me moved around a lot and twisted quite vigorously in their sleep, it was really noisy. The air conditioning in the room was blasting, which was amazing given Italy's 38-degree summer heat. The lockers 🗄️ in the hostel don't have locks 🔒 (you need to bring your own, or buy one on-site for 5 Euros). I stayed for 5 nights, and I felt that my dorm-mates were pretty good; no one was noisy, and everyone turned off the lights and went to bed by 10 PM (I got super lucky!). The hostel has a huge balcony, a restaurant, a bar, a kitchen, a laundry room, a large common living room, and public restrooms. They don't provide towels (you have to pay extra for them). They offer a paid breakfast (10 Euros, a typical 'Western' breakfast). They also offer a paid laundry service (washing is 3.5 Euros, drying is 2 Euros, totaling 5.5 Euros. If you go to an external self-service laundromat, it'll cost you 10 Euros). After checking out, you can choose between free or paid luggage storage (free storage is in a meeting room, paid storage is in a locked cabinet). I personally recommend paid storage. After all, 6 Euros to store luggage for a day in a tourist area like Rome, Italy, is quite a good deal, considering there are so many pickpockets in Italy. Think of it as buying insurance! I visited Rome at the end of August, so it wasn't peak season. I booked 5 nights for about 1500 RMB, which is an average of 300 RMB per night. I paid a city tax of 17.5 Euros upon arrival. If the price you find is around 300 RMB (during peak season in July and August, it can be 600 RMB per night), I think you should go ahead and book it. Rome is like Europe's Beijing in terms of popularity, and accommodation prices in the summer are really, really high. #RomeFoodAndFun #RomeTravel #RomeHostel #RomeSoloTrip #RomeTravelGuide #ItalyHostel #ItalyHostelRecommendation

I loved the common areas they have for travellers to relax. Not to mention the fully equipped kitchen and also the occasional free dinner prepared by the staff. Rooms were spacious and adopted the capsule/nest style where you can have ultimate privacy at night. Lockers were big enough to fit my 40L bag and no additional locks needed for the locker. Although the beds are encapsulated, however it is not hot or stuffy at night as I still felt cold from the AC. Ensuite bathroom is decent and clean for everyone’s use.

Fantastic stay at Villa Aurora rooms whilst I was in Rome. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. Fully functional air conditioning (rather than those temperamental units in other places) really was a joy to come back to during the heat of a Rome summer. But so far, I've just commented on some features of the room, rather than my experience here. What will endure in my memory as I look back was the warm, classically no-nonsense Italian hospitality I had from Donatella. Throughout my time here, she made sure I was well looked after with room cleaning, bottled water, towels etc. But I most appreciate her assistance in terms of local knowledge. Local knowledge such as a good seafood restaurant , ”Trattoria del pesce” just down the road (which happens to also be in the Michelin guide); such as to not miss out on the Baths of Caracalla; and perhaps more trivially, but arguably also essential, where to do my laundry! Thank you so much for making my stay here such a pleasure Donatella, and for adding both a new Italian word and outlook to my vocabulary - ”tranquilo”.

I really enjoyed my 5-night stay here! The location was one of the biggest plus points, with Roma Trastevere station just a 5–7 minute walk away, making it really easy to get around. The villa itself was so pretty, well kept and probably one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed in. The check-in and check-out process was also very smooth and hassle free. One thing to note for future guests is that the property is outside the main historic centre and outside the Aurelian Walls, in a quieter residential area. So if you plan to use taxis to get to and from the main tourist attractions, the fares can be a little higher. However, with the nearby train station, tram and bus connections, we found it quite easy to get around without relying on taxis all the time. We didn’t really see any front desk staff around during our stay, but the host was very easy to reach via WhatsApp and was always helpful whenever we had any questions. For the price I paid, I’m really happy to have found this little hidden gem in Rome. I would definitely recommend it and would happily stay here again!
