Vittoria Garden Suites

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked into Vittoria Garden Suites, I was expecting another generic Rome hotel trying to capitalize on its proximity to Termini Station. But this place actually surprised me. The building itself sits right on Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, which most tourists completely overlook even though it’s this gorgeous 19th-century square with incredible architecture. You’re literally staying above one of Rome’s most authentic neighborhoods, where you’ll hear actual Romans going about their daily lives instead of just camera clicks.

The suites themselves feel more like temporary apartments than hotel rooms – and I mean that in the best way possible. There’s this lived-in quality that makes you want to settle in for more than just a night or two. The kitchenettes are actually functional (you know how hotel “kitchenettes” usually are), and honestly, that’s a godsend when you’re dealing with Roman restaurant schedules and want to grab fresh ingredients from the incredible market that happens right in the piazza most mornings. The morning light streaming through those tall windows is something else – very different from the dark, narrow streets you’ll find in the historical center. You get this sense of space that’s rare in Rome hotels, especially at this price point.

What really won me over, though, is how the location works in practice. Yeah, you’re about a five-minute walk from Termini, which sounds touristy, but it’s actually brilliant. You can catch the Leonardo Express to Fiumicino without dragging your luggage across cobblestones, and the metro connections mean you’re never more than 15 minutes from anywhere you actually want to be. But here’s the thing most people don’t realize – this area has some of the best authentic eating in Rome. There’s this little trattoria called Da Valentino just around the corner that serves the kind of cacio e pepe that makes you understand why Romans are so particular about their pasta. The neighborhood feels genuinely Roman in a way that the area around the Pantheon or Trevi Fountain just… doesn’t anymore.

The staff seems to get that most people staying here aren’t first-time visitors to Rome – they’re helpful without being overly touristy, if that makes sense. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward, and when I mentioned I was looking for a good place to buy wine, the guy at the desk recommended this enoteca that I never would have found otherwise. It’s those small touches that make you feel like you’re staying somewhere that actually cares about the experience rather than just processing bookings. The 9.1 rating makes sense once you spend a few days there – it’s not flashy or Instagram-perfect, but it nails all the things that matter when you’re actually living in a place for a while.

  The location close to public transports like metro, bus, and also train station. Julia was very kind, she waited for us until we arrived and explained everything.

• Alexander from Germany (9/10)

  We loved this place, it's a perfect place to unwind after a long day in the city. The staff was very nice and the room clean and neat. There's a coffee machine as well as a little kitchen available for guests.
  It's easily accessible, the subway stop Vittorio Emanuele is right outside the building and Termini central station is a 10 min walk.

• Timea from Slovakia (9/10)

  We had a fantastic stay here and would definitely return! The host was incredibly kind and helpful, making us feel welcome from the start. Our room was clean, well-maintained, and the bed was very comfortable. The shared kitchen in the hallway was well-equipped, including a coffee pod machine (we received complimentary coffee capsules). The location was also very convenient – just a 10-minute walk from Termini Station and about 20 minutes from the Colosseum, making it easy to explore the city.
