The three-star Hotel Rimini is located north of the station—just across the street from the main exit of the massive Stazione Centrale Termini. You can hop off the train, drop off your bags, and be out again in no time at all.
Rates for double rooms, which average about €130-140 a night during high season, are reasonable given the match of convenience and comfort. And, despite the proximity to the station, the Rimini feels pleasant, quiet, and safe. That said, those planning to stay more than a night or two in Rome should probably go further afield (or bring earplugs).
Rooms, 37 in total, are decorated in a self-proclaimed "Old English" style. Nice wallpaper, high ceilings, and marble or wood floors add some character. Aside from the comfortable rooms, we were fans of the window-lined breakfast room, located on the fifth floor instead of the usual basement or ground-level.
All rooms are non-smoking, though smoking is permitted in other parts of the hotel, such as the TV lounge. The Hotel Rimini shares the same building as the very pleasant
Hotel Corot.
