Struggling to find a safe, affordable hotel near Rome's Termini Station? Discover why Camplus Hotel Roma Centro is my top recommendation for your Roman holiday.

Rome Hotel Recommendation
Camplus Hotel Roma Centro
Deciding where to stay is arguably the hardest part of planning a trip to Rome.
Most travelers weigh the pros and cons of staying near Termini Station versus the historic center. For me, Termini Station won out because it perfectly balances three crucial factors: easy airport transportation, convenient tour meeting points, and incredible value for money.
After comparing countless options and getting recommendations from friends who recently visited, I finally booked my stay at Camplus Hotel Roma Centro!
Spoiler alert: I was so incredibly satisfied (I'd rate it a 99 out of 100) that I would even recommend it for a honeymoon stay. Let me break down exactly why I loved it so much!

1. Termini Station Safety Map
We've all heard the stories about Termini Station being a bit sketchy, so safety was my top priority when hunting for accommodations.
Since I was traveling with a girlfriend and pickpocketing is common in Rome, I specifically looked for a hotel on a bright, clean, and busy street.

Looking at the map around Termini Station:
Blue Circle : Safe, well-lit areas
Yellow Circle : Areas requiring caution
Generally, the further right you go from the yellow circle, the more vigilant you need to be!

This is an actual photo of the main street right in front of my hotel. Even when I returned after 10:00 PM from night tours, the street was brightly lit and full of other travelers pulling suitcases. I never once felt unsafe in this location!
2. Room Condition & Review
The main reason I'm highly recommending this spot is the incredible room condition!
Despite being more affordable than surrounding hotels, the moment I walked in, I literally said out loud, "Wow, this is nice!"

I booked the Executive Garden View Single Room. Although it's meant for one person, it was spacious enough that two people could comfortably stay here without feeling cramped at all.
If you're a solo traveler looking for a Rome hotel, I highly recommend it. Plus, the "Garden View" overlooks a beautiful, serene courtyard.


For personal reasons, my friend and I booked separate rooms. Her double room was just a tiny bit larger than my single!
A quick tip for choosing your room:
If views matter: Opt for the Garden View.
If budget is key: Sort by lowest price (all rooms have windows!).

Inside the Executive Single Room
I'll do a separate post on the double room later, but aside from a slight size difference, the layout is identical. Use these photos as a solid reference!

My friend walked in and said, "Wait, this is a single room?" It honestly feels much closer to a standard double.
There was plenty of floor space. Even with two large 28-inch suitcases laid completely flat, there was still plenty of room to walk around.

Even in late May, Rome can get quite hot (around 80°F+), so coming back sweaty was inevitable. The air conditioning here was an absolute lifesaver—super powerful and quiet!
The bedding was crisp and fresh, and the pillows weren't overly thick. I slept like a baby from night one, completely ignoring my jet lag.

The desk area is generous, and there's a spacious open closet with plenty of hangers. You can store your luggage above or below. It comes fully equipped with a safe, mini-fridge, and everything else you'd need.


Now, the reason I docked 1 point from my 100-point score: the water.
I'm admittedly a bit picky about how my water tastes.
The complimentary bottled water provided had a slightly "slippery" taste to me, so I ended up buying my own. This is totally subjective, though!

The bathroom was impressively large, with clearly separated zones for the shower, sink, and toilet, making it very comfortable to use.
If you've traveled in Europe, you know the two biggest bathroom annoyances: clogged drains and weak hair dryers. I'm thrilled to report the drainage here was fantastic, and the hair dryer actually had power!

There's also a handy shelf right next to the showerhead to place your own toiletries.
They provide an all-in-one hair and body wash, so if you prefer a proper lather, I'd definitely recommend bringing your own travel-sized shampoo and body wash.
Water pressure and hot water were both a 10/10 in my book.

Having a full-length mirror was super convenient for outfit checks before heading out for the day.
Crucial European Hotel Checklist


Everyone has their priorities, but I always, always check for elevators and good AC.
This hotel has two elevators, so there was rarely a wait. Better yet, no matter which floor you stay on, you don't have to drag your heavy luggage up any random half-flights of stairs (a common European hotel quirk!).
And as mentioned, the AC performance was top-tier.
3. Price: Budget-Friendly Rome Hotel
During peak summer season, rates hover around ~$230 to ~$308 per night. In the off-season, prices drop closer to ~$154. (As with any hotel, seasonality plays a huge role in pricing).
I booked my single room for late May 2026 and paid around ~$220. For the "shoulder season," expect to pay somewhere in the lower $200s.

Trip.com | Agoda |
~$178 | ~$188 |
I ended up booking through Trip.com as it offered the best rate! You can use these links to compare prices for this or any other accommodations.

Before booking, I also looked heavily into Hotel iQ Roma and The Hive Hotel, which are very popular in this area.
However, both were consistently ~$77 more expensive per night than Camplus. I decided to save the money, and honestly, I couldn't be happier with my choice! It's an incredibly solid hotel, so definitely keep it on your radar when comparing prices.
4. Distance to Major Attractions
Rome is sprawling, and its districts are quite spread out. Since Termini Station is a bit removed from the historic core, I was initially worried about whether it would be walkable.
But because Termini is the main transit hub and the starting point for most guided tours, getting around was a breeze. Rome's bus and subway systems are well-connected, making the slight distance a non-issue.

Transit Times to Major Sights
You can reach almost every major landmark within 30 minutes!
A quick tip: I strongly advise against relying on taxis in Rome. Traffic is notoriously bad, and fares rack up quickly. Walking or utilizing public transit is the way to go. Remember, a single bus or tram ticket is valid for 100 minutes of unlimited transfers!

Over the course of my Italy trip, I stayed in four different hotels, and Camplus Hotel Roma Centro easily took the #1 spot for overall satisfaction.
If you're planning a Roman holiday in 2026, I hope this helps you lock down your accommodation! Let me know in the comments if you have any questions.
