About

Established in 1990, Paolina Rooms has come to be one of the most popular accommodations in Rome and a well-known place to stay for young travelers. Since its opening it has been recommended in all the main guide books.

The structure is located in Rione Monti, a lively neighborhood close to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Just down the hill you will find the charming cobble-stone streets, Monti proper, complete with fountain for nighttime gatherings. A trendy area, it boasts artisan and vintage shops, a plethora of dining options and cafes, and bustling crowds comprised of residents, artists, tourists, and other colorful folk.

Paolina Rooms is a calm, clean, budget-friendly place to crash in the heart of Rome. It is located on a 19th-century townhouse close to the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica and to Via Cavour, one of Rome’s main roads. Despite being a small property, with no common room and no kitchen, our guests appreciate the cozy, homey atmosphere.

Several transport options, such as metro, buses, trams, taxi stands, and tour buses, are at your fingertips. Paolina Rooms is easily accessible from Termini central train station, just a few minutes' walk from the structure. Termini hosts bus and train transport to and from Rome's airports.

Thank you and enjoy Rome.

Perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood, yet just a short distance from Termini Train Station, the Colosseum, and Piazza Venezia. The owner is very friendly, and it offers great value for money.

An absolutely marvellous experience. The staff went out of their way to help me sort out a problem I encountered, the place was sparking clean, location is bang in the middle of Rome. A true gem.

This might be the worst room I’ve ever stayed in. You stay in the rooms above the owner’s run down (maybe abandoned) bar. The staircase up to your room is covered in abandoned assorted junk like planks and tools. The owner was an incredibly creepy old man. When my girlfriend and I asked for more toilet paper (he only gave us half a role to start) he didn’t go back downstairs and instead waited at the top of the staircase. We felt incredibly unsafe in the room and barricaded the door each night. The shower head was completely busted and sprayed water everywhere. The toilet seat had been replaced by the flimsiest blue plastic seat I’ve ever seen. Our second night the upstairs neighbors were drinking and yelling until 4:30am. Avoid this rental at all costs.
