Hotel SmeraldoEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The family-run Hotel Smeraldo is a three-star gem located in the heart of the historic center, just a short walk from Campo de’ Fiori and its famous morning market. The Hotel Smeraldo offers great value for its location, cleanliness, warm atmosphere and friendly service.

The hotel’s main building has 50 rooms, while the newly refurbished annex across the street houses another 16. Rooms are not huge, but they are bright, welcoming and air-conditoned. Décor consists of traditional tiled floors, and curtains and bedspreads in neutral tones. A TV, telephone and soundproof windows round out the list of in-room amenities. Some rooms have balconies (ask ahead). Bathrooms are spacious and clean, with modern tiles and a hair dryer.

The Hotel Smeraldo has a hidden treasure: a great little roof terrace where you can sit and enjoy views of Rome’s rooftops and church domes.

The hotel is also a short walk from Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. Here you’ll find street markets, coffee bars, restaurants and nightlife—along with plenty of picturesque streets to explore. It is also just a short walk from Corso Vittorio Emanuele, which has plenty of bus connections to the Vatican and Termini Station.

Breakfast is included in the room rate.
