Xiaomifengfengfeng: The bathroom was spacious, and the service was excellent; they even helped us split the king-size bed into two separate beds. The overall space was remarkably large for a European hotel, and it was very clean. The location was super convenient for getting around, and the air conditioning worked well – a big plus!

Suwas Bhandari: The hotel is nice and beautiful but as always it depends on how much you pay. The amenities are nice and the breakfast is good. Hot water flowing all the time and a good shower whenever you want. The drinks in the minibar slightly overpriced but overall good. Super close from Roma termini and in a walking distance to the colosseum. I like the stay anyways.

Alison’s Silk Road Travels: I stayed at Hotel Stromboli During mid August 2026. I have stayed here many times. It is a very convenient hotel near the train station and the Airport Bus. It is also in close proximity to the central Termini museums. The area is good and safe. There is a water fountain a few minuets from the Hotel. There are many places to eat locally and there is a supermarket. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe staying at this hotel and that’s why I return. The room is comfortable and convenient. There is a lift. There is a lobby with a breakfast and coffee area. My room was bigger than expected for a single room with a bigger than expected bed. The bathroom is well equipped with a shower. I had a fridge and a kettle in my room. There is a window with shutters that you can open. There is air conditioning in the room. As I stayed in August during the heatwave my room was comfortable. I like staying at Hotel Stromboli. It’s a great budget price for solo travellers. It’s not really a honeymoon couples love nest. But it’s great for budget travel and I was very comfortable. I didn’t have breakfast do I can’t comment. There are snacks in the lobby. The images are of my single room. I like to walk round Rome and visit the museums. As it’s do central it’s great for this. Take bus 40 or H bus right across Rome it’s near the hotel. Ideal and convenient.

Guest User: We were extremely satisfied with our stay. We booked a 4 people room,and it was very spacious. The air conditioning was quiet, and the safe box was large enough to fit a laptop. The location was excellent as well—less than a 10-minute walk from the train station, with plenty of restaurants nearby. We arrived in the morning, and the hotel kindly stored our luggage free of charge. We could also refill our water bottles at the restaurant whenever we wanted. The breakfast was plentiful and offered a great variety of choices. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel!
D'Azeglio, Via D'Azeglio, 24
From $ 127
Anonymous User: The staff were incredibly welcoming; they even offered us welcome drinks upon arrival and showed us around the area on a map, pointing out attractions. It made us feel safe and at ease. The cleaning staff were very considerate. They tidied our room promptly every day, and the bedding was exceptionally clean – the hygiene was excellent. The only thing to note is that one day we returned to find the ozone machine on. Luckily, I saw it, otherwise, it seems it wouldn't have turned off automatically without a timer? Operating an ozone machine in a confined space can be harmful to people, so this needs extra attention. We tried the breakfast one morning, but the taste was quite ordinary and not really to our liking. There are probably better options available. Otherwise, there were no issues at all. We recommend staying here.

Journey through a millennium to see the Roman ruins
Walking into the Roman Forum, I finally understood that some places are not just attractions, but the still-beating heart of an empire❤️ I arrived here as my first stop in the Eternal City of Rome. It has witnessed Cicero's eloquence, Caesar's assassination, and the glory and decline of the empire. Standing among the ruins, the wind blows through, carrying echoes from over 2,000 years ago. Under Caesar and Octavian, Rome entered the imperial era, and the Forum experienced its most glorious period. Augustus once said, "I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble." This is the origin of "all roads lead to Rome." The Temple of Saturn housed the empire's vast treasury, and in the Temple of Vesta, the Vestal Virgins guarded the sacred fire that symbolized Rome's eternal life🔥 Later, the center of power shifted east, and Rome was frequently looted. During the Middle Ages, silt from the Tiber River gradually buried the ruins, turning this place into a pasture. It wasn't until the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with the rise of modern archaeology, that the Roman Forum was unearthed. From the heart of an empire to a pile of ruins, and then to a World Heritage site, it has spanned over 2,000 years of history. I stood there, watching the sunset turn the stone pillars gold, and suddenly felt that the empire's breath had never stopped; it just changed form and continued in the wind🌅 Come to Rome and plan a relaxing 3-day trip👇 Day 1: The heartbeat of the empire💓 Morning: Walk into the Roman Forum and stroll between the temples and triumphal arches; Afternoon: Go to the Colosseum and watch the sunlight pass through the arches; Evening: On Palatine Hill, watch the sunset paint the city gold. Day 2: A Baroque dream🎭 Morning: Visit the Borghese Gallery and linger before Bernini's sculptures; Afternoon: Go to the Trevi Fountain and toss a coin into the night; Evening: On the Spanish Steps, watch the whole city sink into twilight. Day 3: Farewell and reunion👋 Morning: Go to the Vatican Museums and stand in silence before Raphael's paintings; Afternoon: Walk through the colonnades of St. Peter's Square; Evening: Return to the Roman Forum, take one last look at those silent stone pillars, and head home, carrying the light and shadows of Rome.
Taking a stroll through Rome in the morning.
Someone once said that to see Rome at its best, you should wake up before other tourists at least once… And when I actually tried it, I realized how worthwhile it was to wake up early ❤️ Normally, Rome is a city bustling with people, chatter, and tourists from all over the world. But in the early morning, before the shops open and the first tour groups depart, this usually chaotic city is surprisingly peaceful. The ancient cobblestone streets, once crowded with people, become empty pathways, allowing us to stroll leisurely, soak in the atmosphere, and stop to take photos without having to worry about anyone 📷 The morning sunlight gently illuminates the centuries-old buildings, the sound of shoes on the cobblestones, birdsong, and the aroma of espresso from small cafes along the street make you feel like you're walking through a scene from an Italian movie ☕️ I got to see the Trevi Fountain in an uncrowded atmosphere, walked through beautiful squares without having to jostle with crowds, and captured different angles of the city that I rarely see during the day. What I loved most wasn't just getting beautiful photos, but the feeling of spending time in this city at a leisurely pace. No need to rush, no need to race against time. Just strolling along and letting Rome tell its own story through its architecture, streets, and the morning sunlight. Rome is beautiful during the day, but Rome before the tourists wake up has a different kind of charm. 🤍 Sometimes the best time to travel isn't to visit every place, but to be in the same place at a different time. If you ever get the chance to visit Rome, try setting your alarm earlier than usual and go for a walk with your camera. You might fall in love with Rome even more… 🇮🇹✨ #rome #romeitaly #romeinthemorning #earlymorningwalk #italytravel #Rome #travelitaly #travelromance #travelphotography #travelabroad #traveljournal
Hangzhou Yunpin Hotel | Experience the Italian Renaissance without leaving Hangzhou
There are too many artworks to count, endless photo spots, and you can get great shots whether it's cloudy or sunny. The butler mentioned that many of the artworks were flown in from Rome. Walking through the hotel, you really get the feeling of being in Hangzhou while your soul is in Florence. 📸 Why it's a paradise for photos The hotel's design is stunning, filled with an array of artworks and intricate details that instantly transport you to Italy. From the 1F lobby to the 43F sky lobby, and then to the 40th-floor Milan-themed room where I stayed, I couldn't stop taking photos. Golden arches, Roman columns, green walls, face fountains, silver lion sculptures, crystal chandeliers, vintage tapestries... every corner is a fragment of the Renaissance. Great photos in any weather. Indoor spots have even lighting, and cloudy days are actually softer, so the details of the stone carvings aren't lost to harsh light. High-altitude spots are enhanced by natural sunlight on clear days, making the river views look incredible. There are too many artworks to count. The butler mentioned that many were flown in from Rome—these aren't just generic decorative prints, but high-quality sculptures, oil paintings, mosaics, handmade glass, and exquisite tapestries. 💡 Photography tips For outfits, black, off-white, and burgundy are the safest choices, as they pair perfectly with the warm gold and dark marble color scheme. The black strapless dress and straw hat in the photos match the white guest room corridor, arches, green sofa, red wall, and artworks beautifully.
A luxurious narrative of time and light in the heart of Beijing
In the shade of the sycamores in the embassy district, the Liangma River flows gently. The Bulgari Hotel Beijing is like a jewel hidden by gardens, shining quietly without fanfare. 🌿 Environment | An urban sanctuary Nestled by the river, adjacent to the Tadao Ando-designed Genesis Art Foundation. The private garden, designed by Enzo Enea, features ancient pines, lawns, and riverside paths that gently separate you from the bustle of Sanlitun, leaving only the city's tranquility. 🖼️ Landscape | A living painting in every window Morning light glimmers on the water, and city lights float on the river at night. High-floor rooms offer views of the Beijing skyline, while lower-floor rooms face the lush greenery of the courtyard; the morning and evening of the Liangma River are framed within the floor-to-ceiling windows. 💎 Design | Italian craftsmanship with a jeweler's touch ACPV Architects created the space using the logic of Bulgari jewelry: Roman travertine, dark walnut, Barovier & Toso crystal chandeliers, an oval copper bar, and a spiral staircase resembling a ring—minimalist yet captivating. 🛏️ Rooms | Gentle comfort in spacious surroundings 119 rooms and suites, starting from 58 sqm, featuring custom Maxalto and B&B Italia furniture, independent marble bathtubs, Bulgari bath amenities, and 24-hour room service.

The Bulgari Bar's oval counter and riverside drinks make it a twilight hotspot for Beijing's elite, while the Lobby Lounge and pastry shop turn luxury into an everyday experience. 🕊️ Leisure | Immerse yourself in the soft light of ancient Rome A 1,500 sqm Bulgari Spa, 11 treatment rooms, and a 25-meter heated pool, with emerald and orange-gold mosaics recreating the Baths of Caracalla. With a Technogym fitness center, private yoga sessions, and riverside walks, your body and mind will feel cradled in silk. Beijing is vast, but this corner is enough to hold all your relaxation and starlight. The Bulgari Hotel Beijing is not just a place to stay, but a slow-paced Italian moment in time.
Masada | Engraved with two thousand years of memories of freedom above the desert
❤Recommended reason: When you climb to the top of Masada under the scorching sun during the hottest part of the day, weaving between the broken walls and ruins, a spirit of exploration tells you: it is worth it. 🌟Highlights: This World Heritage site in the Judean Desert has weathered two thousand years of wind and sand. The broken columns of Herod's Palace, the remains of the water storage system, the ruins of the Roman siege ramp... everything, like the Dead Sea in the distance, unfolds quietly here, telling the history of freedom and dignity. In 73 AD, after the Romans breached the Temple in Jerusalem, this place became the last fortress of Jewish resistance against Rome. After enduring a siege by the Roman army that cut off all escape routes, they chose mass martyrdom to avoid humiliation. The leader at the time, Eleazar, tragically said: "We were the first to revolt against Rome, and we are the last to lay down our arms. Let us die as free men, and not let our wives and children become slaves." Therefore, it has become a spiritual imprint engraved in the bones and blood of the Jewish people. Just as it is lamented in "Jerusalem: The Biography": "The story of Masada has long transcended a single war, becoming a symbol of a nation's unyielding memory."

What people are saying about Rome
Colosseum
Your ticket includes the Roman forum and palatine hill so is excellent value
_TI***h4Pantheon
It's alright. If you've already visited all the other major Italian attractions, you can check it out. I don't really understand their religious beliefs or stories, but the scenery is quite nice, and you can see the city views.
M77***16Borghese Gallery and Museum
Amazing gallery! Book early ahead of time. But it is one of the best things to do in Rome.
Brent JosephCastel Sant'Angelo
There were no crowds, so there was no waiting either. It was a lovely experience, with a beautiful view from the castle and a café at the top.
Tanja08Roman Forum
Roman Forum and the Colosseum are amazing historical places everyone should see. The tickets, adult + child x2 full experience are the best for the value we have paid.
Danijela M.Villa Borghese
Villa Borghese Gardens is one of the most beautiful and peaceful green spaces in Rome, offering a refreshing escape from the city’s busy streets. The expansive park is filled with lush trees, colorful flowers, elegant fountains, quiet pathways, and beautiful viewpoints. Walking through the gardens feels relaxing, with plenty of scenic spots to stop, take photographs, or simply enjoy nature. The park also offers wonderful views toward Rome, making it especially enjoyable around sunset. Visitors can explore its charming corners, admire historic architecture, and spend a peaceful afternoon surrounded by greenery. Villa Borghese is a perfect destination for nature lovers, photographers, couples, and travelers looking for a relaxing experience in Rome.
Hossain Hoq ProhorTrevi Fountain
One extra suggestion for visiting the Trevi Fountain is to spend a bit of time in the surrounding streets, not just the fountain itself. The small alleys around Piazza di Trevi are full of cafés, gelato shops, and quieter viewpoints where you can see the fountain from above without the main crowd.Also, try to visit twice if possible: once early morning for photos and once at night for atmosphere. The lighting completely changes the feeling of the place. Another useful tip is to stand slightly off to the side rather than directly in front of the central barrier, as it gives a better angle for photos and avoids the heaviest crowd flow. Finally, keep in mind it is a historic monument, so respecting the space helps keep the experience pleasant for everyone.The photo was taken at the Trevi Fountain, located in the historic center of Rome.It sits in a small square (Piazza di Trevi), surrounded by narrow streets and classic Roman buildings. The closest major landmark is the Pantheon area, about 10–15 minutes walking distance away. From Piazza Venezia, you can reach it on foot in about 10 minutes by walking through Via del Corso and then turning into the smaller side streets toward the fountain.The exact address is Piazza di Trevi, 00187 Roma RM, Italy. The photo was likely taken right in front of the main fountain basin, where the Neptune sculpture and cascading water are visible, which is the most common viewpoint for visitors.
MARK MORDOVTSEVMouth of Truth
## Mirror of Lies: Soul-Eating Ceremony of the Mouth of Truth When you squeeze through the noisy crowd of the Cosmedin Church, you suddenly bump into the iron-blue stone face in the niche - the mask of the river god with slightly open fangs is covered with moss, and the eye sockets are covered with centuries of dust. This ancient Roman sewer manhole cover was transformed into a lie-eating beast because of "Roman Holiday". Don't be deceived by the laughter of tourists: the moment you put your hand into its mouth, you will fall into a soul trial spanning a thousand years. **Roman humor under the myth of lie detection**. Please look closely at the stone surface when queuing: the craftsmen in the first century AD deliberately carved the sea god into a horrified expression, originally to deter floods. One night in the Middle Ages, a drunkard stuck his hand between the fangs and cried and confessed his guilt, and an absurd legend was born. Today, husbands pretend to be bitten and scream, and wives hold their mobile phones and laugh and bend over - when the jungle of selfie sticks submerges the stone statue, the Mouth of Truth has long become a stage prop for contemporary people to create sweet lies. **The hidden line of truth between the stone pillars of the church**. Don't ignore the church behind because of the crowd! On the sixth-century mosaic altar, Christ is crushing the head of a snake (the incarnation of truth). Look up at the dome: St. Peter is the only one missing among the twelve apostles - it is said that the devil stole his statue during construction, but it fell into the Tiber River due to the burns of the church's holy light. When your fingertips brush over the cracks in the north wall (the signature of the 1348 earthquake), you suddenly see the afterimage of the saint in the red light of the stained glass window: it turns out that truth never lives in the fangs of stone statues, but flows in the scars of time that have crushed the building. **The Liar's Monologue in the Moonlight**. After closing, go around to the small garden on the east side of the church, and the Mouth of Truth turns back into a gloomy monster behind the fence. Put your palms against the iron bars and look at the stone statue, and the roar of the ancient Roman aqueduct floats in the wind. One night in the third century AD, pagans carved anti-Christian slogans on this stone, and the priests used holy water to wash the fangs that appeared. At this moment, the cool air seeps out of the cracks in the stone and wraps around my wrist, as if two thousand years of lies and confessions have condensed into salt here - what we fear is never the bite of the stone, but the piercing of the shadow in our hearts. Please take out the coins and put them in the donation box before leaving. When the crisp sound of metal hitting the bottom of the box echoes through the empty courtyard, it is like the trembling sound of the soul's balance returning to zero. As the candlelight flickers in the altar, you suddenly realize: the most terrifying thing about this stone statue is not the fangs but the hollow throat - there are countless untold truths deposited there, like the silent ancient pottery fragments at the bottom of the Tiber River. And the 14th-century crucifix forgotten by tourists in the corner of the church, wild violets are blooming between the ribs of the wooden sculpture of Christ, mocking the human obsessive pursuit of "absolute truth" with gentle vitality.
学校🏫Arch of Constantine
I would describe the Arch of Constantine as one of those places in Rome that you almost underestimate until you stand right in front of it. It is not just an arch, but a powerful visual connection between ancient history and the modern flow of tourists moving toward the Colosseum. What impressed me most was how naturally it fits into the landscape, as if it has always been part of the city’s rhythm.Business Hours:Open 24 hours (outdoor public monument, accessible at any time)Address:Via di San Gregorio, 00186 Roma RM, Italy (next to the Colosseum)Tips:Visit early in the morning or near sunset to avoid heavy crowds and get better lighting. Don’t rush past it on the way to the Colosseum, take time to walk around and observe the detailed reliefs on all sides. For the best photo, step a little back toward the road to capture both the arch and the Colosseum in one frame.Reasons to Recommend:I would recommend it because it gives a real sense of ancient Rome in one view. The combination of scale, history, and location makes it more meaningful than it first appears, especially when you realize how closely it is tied to the Colosseum experience.
