“Il Faro Gianicolense struck me as a practical choice, located in a safe, walkable neighborhood with easy access to public transport for reaching the Colosseum and other major attractions. The modern, clean rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi add considerable value, especially given the on-site Italian restaurant and shared kitchen. It's a solid, budget-friendly option with some quirks, but those can be easily managed with a little preparation.”
