Albergo del SoleEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

According to its owners, the two-star Albergo del Sole is the oldest hotel in Rome. With an enviable location just a short walk from Campo de’ Fiori, it is also located in one of the oldest parts of the city.

The hotel offers basic, clean accommodation with either private or shared facilities. Décor is a little worn in places, but for the price and location, the rooms are hard to beat. The largest bedrooms can easily accommodate up to four people and some rooms have balconies (ask ahead). All rooms have a TV and soundproof windows. Ask for one of the air-conditioned rooms, especially if you visit during the summer months.

The Albergo del Sole’s building dates back over 500 years and features terracotta tiling, period furniture and winding staircases. The hotel has extensive garden areas where guests can sit and enjoy views of the historic center. There is also a reading area upstairs.

Note: The Albergo del Sole has steep stairs at the entrance, though once you’re inside the hotel, an elevator can take you to the upper floors.
