Part gentlemen's club, part Roman palace, the Britannia is a fun four-star. Dodgy frescoes and horse-and-hound paintings hang in the corridors with floors that are parquet one minute, inlaid marble or carpet the next. Rooms are similarly ad hoc with antique furniture, floral chin… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

A short walk up from the Colosseum, this is a chic but refreshingly unpretentious hotel.

But what sets this unpretentious hotel apart is its magnificent breakfast - bacon, egg… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

A beacon of industrial cool, the Radisson is popular with business travellers and design-conscious customers.

You don't have to pay a king's ransom to stay near the Trevi Fountain, as this modest B&B proves.

Pronounced 'sailor', the Seiler is a safe if uninspiring choice.
