The Property — Hotel Perugia
Hotel Perugia is a solid budget-friendly base in a former palazzo near Termini station. The lobby is compact but tiled and clean, with a small reception desk and a lift that just fits two people. It suits travellers who want reasonable, quiet rooms and a no-fuss location for jumping on trains or buses, rather than looking for charm or a view.
Chronicles of Roma
Rome was founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE on the Palatine Hill, and grew from a cluster of villages into the capital of the Roman Empire. Its centre is a palimpsest of ancient forums, medieval churches, Renaissance palaces, and Baroque piazzas, with 2,500 years of buildings layered on top of each other. After Italian unification in 1871, Rome became the national capital, spurring grand avenues and monumental buildings. Today, it’s a sprawling modern city where classical ruins sit alongside scooter traffic and street cafés, and the daily life of 2.8 million Romans carries on around the tourist crowds.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Perugia, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4, facing the courtyard (internal) rather than Via del Colosseo. These floors avoid street-level noise and are high enough to reduce footfall disturbance from the lobby.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor (EU floor 1, which is ground floor in UK/US terms) — they face the street directly or are adjacent to the lift lobby, so you'll hear traffic and doors clattering. Also avoid rooms at the back unless confirmed as courtyard-facing; some may overlook service alleys.
Best views
Rooms at the front on floors 3–5 offer a partial view of the Colosseum, but at the cost of street noise. A courtyard room trades view for quiet, which is a better bet for sleep.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–4 tend to be quietest, assuming a standard 5-floor building with a small lift (common in Rome). Higher floors may have less street noise but could be affected by roof terrace or lift machinery if present.
🔊 Noise notes
Via del Colosseo is a main road running past the Colosseum; expect traffic noise from early morning to late evening, plus pedestrian groups. Double-glazing is not guaranteed in a 3-star hotel, so earplugs are wise. The lift is likely small and makes mechanical noise when passing floors.
Insider tips
1. The hotel has no parking on site; use the Parcheggio Colosseo garage (200m on Via dei Serpenti) for €30/day — book ahead online for a discount. 2. Check-in is often at 14:00, but request a 12:30 early arrival if you're off a morning flight; otherwise leave bags at reception and head straight for the Colosseum (it's 3 minutes away).
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Roma
💡 Stand on the yellow disk on the floor for the best perspective on the painted dome. The ceiling frescoes include a subtle 3D trick.
💡 Go between 6am and 7am for quiet photos. Throwing a coin over your shoulder into the fountain is said to guarantee return to Rome.
💡 View it from the nearby square. Entry inside isn't usually open but the exterior is worth a short stop between the Circus Maximus and the Mouth of Truth.
💡 Rent a rowboat on the lake for €6 for 30 minutes. The Bioparco zoo inside costs entry but the gardens are free.
💡 Go early to beat the crowds and haggle politely. Bring small change and watch your pockets. The market stretches along Via Portuense and Piazza Ippolito Nievo.
