3-Star Hotels in Rome: Comfortable Stays on a Budget

If you're planning a trip to Rome on a tight budget, 3-star hotels offer good value for money, but finding the best ones isn't that easy. That's why we've put together a list of the 5 best 3-star hotels in Rome, all central and suited to every taste.

1. Hotel Santa Maria (Our pick)

Set in the lovely neighborhood of Trastevere, the Hotel Santa Maria surrounds you with a cozy, green atmosphere. The building is a converted 16th-century convent.

Why do we love the Hotel Santa Maria?

1. In the Trastevere area you'll find a wide variety of restaurants and bars.
2. This part of Rome is perfect for wandering. You'll be a few steps from Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere and from Villa Farnesina.
3. If you'd rather stay in, the hotel bar serves free snacks during happy hour.

2. Hotel Trecento

Among the 3-star hotels in Rome we recommend, the Hotel Trecento sits right in the center of Rome, on the busy Via del Corso, which links Piazza Venezia with Piazza del Popolo.

This is an ideal area for visitors, because you can walk to the main squares and monuments on your own, including the Trevi Fountain. Right next to the hotel there's a bus stop with a direct connection to Roma Termini, the city's most important train station.

The Hotel Trecento is one of the good hotels in Rome near the Trevi Fountain.

This hotel can be a bit pricier, although depending on the season and if you book in advance you can find prices from €125 for a double room.

The place is beautiful, with two elegant terraces and rooms that have every comfort, and it's one of the most popular 3-star hotels in Rome. It certainly has enough character to count as one of the most charming hotels in Rome.

As for the location, the pretty Spanish Steps (Piazza di Spagna) are nearby and the busy Via del Corso is just a few meters away. Another plus: the Spagna metro station is 500 m away.

This elegant hotel occupies a restored 19th-century palazzo a few steps from Piazza Navona. We love the panoramic terrace and the lounge bar, plus the free robes and slippers you'll find in the comfortable rooms.

From here you can reach Via Condotti in 15 minutes and the Vatican in 20. This area is ideal for staying in Rome and being close to absolutely everything! Have a look at the available options for hotels near Piazza Navona in Rome.
