Hotel Papa Germano

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


Seventeen old-fashioned but neat rooms are split across two floors (no lift) in this friendly budget stalwart tucked inside a 19th-century building near Termini. Some share bathrooms; all have old mattresses, clean bathrooms, satellite TVs and double-glazed windows. The dorm beds are in triples and quads and are only offered if those rooms are otherwise unused. Breakfast €7.
