Around Here
The property is on Via del Viminale, Repubblica or what could be considered a busy commercial area of Rome that acts as the practical connector between Termini and the historic center. Teatro dell'Opera di Roma is just almost next door, while Piazza della Repubblica with its fountain and colonnades lies around the corner. The area's energy can best be described as urban- office workers bustle about alongside tourists and locals all seemingly constantly in motion through the streets. No, it doesn't ooze quite that much medieval cobblestoned charm found over by the Pantheon area or Trastevere but yes; extreme practicality equals connectivity here!
You are within a manageable 15-20 minute walk of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Just parallel to the hotel runs Via Nazionale, one of Rome's main shopping streets, high-street fashion brands, gelaterias, and cafes. Shop, eat, and sightsee without ever strictly needing to take a taxi or bus. The magnificent Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore is also just down the street-perfection in having such an incredible cultural site right your neighborhood.
There are also a number of places immediately available to suit different requirements. From fast sandwich shops and McDonald’s near the station to more classical trattorias found in backstreets toward the Monti neighborhood, on the edge of the Esquilino district, another bonus if you get tired eating only pasta and pizza—intensely diversified international food options. Safe because all kinds of people walk here during most parts of a day; however, as in any big station area, later at night this certain grittiness sets in beneath the surface energy. Stay on well-lit main streets.
