Popolo & Flaminio Rooms

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Popolo & Flaminio Rooms? The address actually tells you everything you need to know if you’re smart about Rome geography. Via Flaminia is this ancient Roman road that starts right at Piazza del Popolo, and honestly, being at number 21 means you’re close enough to walk to the piazza in maybe eight minutes, but far enough up the street that you dodge most of the tourist chaos. I mean, Villa Borghese is literally across the way – not some marketing exaggeration about being “near” the park.

The building itself has that solid Roman feel without being stuffy about it. Four stars feels right here; they’re not trying to be the St. Regis, but everything works properly and the rooms are thoughtfully put together. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night, even though you’re on a main road. The windows must be decent quality because Via Flaminia can get busy during the day with buses heading north. The neighborhood – Parioli – is where actual Romans live, so you’ll find proper coffee bars within a block or two, not just tourist traps selling mediocre cappuccinos for four euros.

Here’s the thing about this location that most people don’t realize until they’re actually staying there: you’re positioned perfectly for both the historic center and the more relaxed residential Rome experience. Walk south toward Piazza del Popolo and you’re in full tourist mode within ten minutes – Spanish Steps, shopping streets, the whole scene. But head north or east and you’re in tree-lined streets where Romans walk their dogs and kids play in small piazzas. The 8.9 rating makes sense when you consider that balance – it’s not trying to be everything to everyone, but it nails what it’s going for. Villa Borghese park is right there for morning runs (the path along Viale del Galoppatoio is perfect), and if you need the metro, Flaminio station is a short walk toward the river. Actually, that’s another smart thing about the location – you can walk to tons of places, but when your feet give out, public transport is right there.

• The room was Perfect – and the location was in the heart of Rome without many Tourists! – Evangelia from Greece – 28 May 2025 (9/10)

  The space was lovely – clean, well-decorated, and very comfortable. I also really liked the location; it was convenient and close to everything I needed.
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with the check-in system using the Vickey app. On the first day, my phone turned off and I couldn’t access the room at all, which was very stressful.

• Clean and spacious accommodation in an excellent location, with friendly staff – Daniela from Slovakia – 20 May 2025 (8/10)

  The accommodation was very nice, clean, and spacious. The location was perfect – just about 2 minutes from the metro and also a great starting point for walking into the city. The staff was helpful and responsive, which we really appreciated.
  
  What could be improved: The main downsides were the high humidity in the rooms and a lot of mosquitoes inside. Additionally, the room was at street level, so street noise was quite noticeable – which was expected but still a bit disturbing at night. We could also hear footsteps from the room above us, which affected the overall comfort.

• Very comfortable stay and no hesitation to recommend. – Mary from Luxembourg – 26 March 2025 (8/10)

  Excellent location, rooms very clean and serviced each morning. Good showers and comfy bed! Staff very helpful too and very quick to respond to our queries/requests.
  
  What could be improved: Location is excellent to access main attractions either walking or taking the metro or tram the down side is the tram stop is right outside the building so gets quite noisy especially from 6 am on….

• Very nice cleaners were excellent – Wendy from United Kingdom – 25 March 2025 (10/10)

  Location and cleanliness

• A perfect place to stay !! Definitely recommend – Hurley from United Kingdom – 17 March 2025 (10/10)

  Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and quiet

• I would recommend it if you find a good offer – Arvanitaki from Greece – 25 February 2025 (9/10)

  The location was perfect The room was clean and comfortable. Generally it was a good experience.
  
  What could be improved: It is totally automated to get in the room so it was a lot bit confusing to get in the room without any assistance. The price was too high for the expectations as the room is small.

• Great stay in Rome highly recommend. – Laura from Australia – 29 January 2025 (9/10)

  The apartment we stayed in had just been refurbished, so was clean and bright. Comfortable beds, nice walk to a few attractions like the Spanish steps and Trevi fountain. Many restaurants nearby and a McDonald’s. there is tea and coffee making facilities in the room which is great but should supply milk. Nice hot shower. Bathroom was a good size.
  
  What could be improved: A lot of wasted space, huge table could be replaced with a smaller one, with 2 chairs instead of one. 2 big cupboards on entry could be changed to a large bench with shelves and rack to store suit cases. Tea and coffee facilities could be put on shelf above fridge. Especially when you fit 4 people with 4 large suitcases. Got a bit squishy.
