Scott House

Perched on the 4th and 5th floors of a 19th-century building, this affordable Rome hotel sits a 2-minute walk from Rome Termini station and within easy reach of the Colosseum, Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore and the Roman Forum. Quick metro links put the Spanish Steps and the Vatican Museums a short ride away.

Rooms were renovated in 2020 and feel clean and modern. All are air conditioned and feature Select Comfort beds, SKY/LCD TV, minibars (with complimentary mineral water) and private bathrooms with showers and bidets. Multilingual staff offer local tips and a warm, straightforward welcome. Gluten-free breakfast options are available on request.

Free WiFi throughout the building, 24-hour reception, elevator and a breakfast room keep things easy. Hair salon, limo/town car and airport/cruise shuttles are available for a surcharge. Guests also get a 12% discount on tours and excursions through the hotel’s tour partner.

Meeting room and a 24-hour business center are on site, plus complimentary wired and wireless internet — a solid pick if you need reliable, high-speed connections.

Start with a continental buffet breakfast served in the hotel bar (available for a fee) and grab on-the-go coffee or pastries. Limited-hour room service is offered for quieter, in-room meals.
