Alexkom000 / CC BY 4.0Where to stay in Termini & Esquilino
The transport decision, and nobody pretends otherwise. Both metro lines, every national train, the airport express and the airport buses meet here. It is also the cheapest central ground in Rome and the least charming, and the streets immediately around the station are the ones people write to complain about.

Our picks in Termini & Esquilino
Best for transport
Hotel Artemide
The strongest pick when trains decide the trip: it is on Via Nazionale within reach of Termini, and it is the one hotel in this area we would recommend without qualifying it.
Best for a lower rate
The Beehive
Our pick for travellers who want the lowest central rate without the streets immediately behind the station: a small owner-run place two minutes from Termini with private rooms as well as dorms.
