Rome is the city in world that has more vestiges of different era than any other city in the world, with an history that spans two and a half thousand years: from the catacombs, grave goods and tombs left by the Etruscan Civilization (700 bc), to the Roman Kingdom and its seven kings that started to build the city upon the Palatine hill, to the Roman Republic with its theatres, gymnasiums, taverns, baths and brothels, to the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Christian era, to the beginning of the Papacy, Rome being the Capital of the Papal States through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance until 1871 when it became the capital of the Italian Kingdom and then, in 1946, when it became the Capital of the Italian Republic.

Therefore a life is not enough to visit Rome and everything it has to offer as an evidence of its glorious past. One should start as soon as possible to plan his trip to Rome by giving a look at its over 1000 hotels that can accommodate the needs of low budget travelers to the luxurious five stars hotels in the center of the city or in the surrounding areas for more demanding travelers. As the offer for Rome hotels is huge one should start by selecting the preferred area within the center of the city and find out which hotel better suits his needs. The vivid and world known districts of the ancient center are Piazza di Spagna, Fontana di Trevi, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Piazza Campo dè Fiori, Trastevere, Monti and the part of the Vatican that borders the River Tiber, called Borgo Pio.

Within those areas there are many small 3 stars hotels with a good quality/price ratio but, as in the center of Rome the buildings are very old (which is why Rome is so fascinating) they rarely have big external spaces such as gardens, patios or terraces. The advantage of booking one of those hotels in Rome is that one has the opportunity to live and feel the real taste of the ancient city. Instead, if the priority of the travelers is to have a good accommodation with a garden or a pool or such kind of amenities the solution is to opt for a hotel in nice residential areas with lots of greenery such as Monte Mario, Aurelia, Appia Antica. Very often those hotels, as they are not located in the center of the city, offer free shuttle service to their clients to the city center.
