A three star hotel in central Rome, Italy

Hotel Tirreno, Rome

The Tirreno is a pleasant, three-star hotel in an enviably central part of Rome, surrounded by authentic restaurants and quaint antique shops. It features 44 rooms over four floors, and has its own outdoor sun terrace area where guests can escape the hubbub of the city. Each bedroom is equipped with satellite TV, direct-dial telephone and in-room safe, and air conditioning is available for a small additional fee. The reception staff at this Rome hotel are available 24 hours a day to advise guests where best to head in the evenings for good food or dancing, though the hotel's own bar serves a range of alcoholic drinks and snacks if guests prefer.

From their lodgings at the Tirreno, guests can reach the centro storico (ancient centre) in ten minutes on foot. Once there, visitors can take their pick from ancient monuments like the Pantheon and Colosseum, or the cutting edge Gallery of Modern Art. The Vatican City, and its fascinating series of museums, is worthy of several days' exploration in itself. Though there is plenty to see and do in the city itself, there is car hire available close to this hotel in Rome, and Emperor Hadrian's villa at Tivoli, or the nature reserve at Lake Vico, are also worth a visit. The hotel is also just metres from the Termini railway station, though the staff will also arrange transportation to and from the airport if required.
