The Beehive Rome

Bunk beds, colourful lockers and terracotta flooring in The Beehive’s dormitory.

The Beehive suits a train arrival: it is about a 5-minute walk from Roma Termini. You will need to arrive between 09:00 and 21:00, though, because reception is not open around the clock.

How we choose the hotels

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do The Beehive Rome’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

  1. Location

    Nearly every guest who mentions it is happy with it. One guest notes that Termini also makes other public transport easy to reach.

  2. Room

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. One guest found the private room comfortable and quiet during a spell of intense heat.

  3. Staff and service

    One guest says they left their bags at reception after checkout and collected them before heading to the airport.

  4. Breakfast

    One guest particularly enjoyed the freshly made morning bagels.

  5. Price

    One guest considered the price worthwhile, while noting that toilets and showers were limited.

68 guests said so on Google, from 11 November 2024 to 15 October 2026. Google reviews with text from 2024-10-29 to 2026-10-29; up to the latest 500. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Rome: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 29 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

If you are still deciding

iQ Hotel Roma

iQ Hotel Roma

iQ Hotel Roma is convenient for exploring the city by train: Termini is a 7-minute walk away. If you’re driving instead, the hotel is in a limited-traffic zone, so ask for directions before setting off.

Hotel Artemide Rome

Hotel Artemide Rome

Choose Hotel Artemide for a stay in Rome’s historic centre with a top-floor restaurant and an on-site spa. Spa access starts at 16; guests under 18 need an adult with them.

The Hoxton Rome

The Hoxton Rome

The Hoxton Rome is a Pinciano base for walking to Villa Borghese. If you arrive at Termini, though, the walk to the hotel is a brisk 25 minutes.

The Secret Garden at dusk: stone stairways and balustrades, lit by small lamps, climb the slope in terraces among trees and clipped shrubs; a young tree in the foreground and a rustic stone arch above a terrace at the top

Hotel de Russie

From Via del Babuino, a garden climbs towards the Pincio and Rome changes pace at the door.

La Terrazza, the hotel’s rooftop, at dusk: pale sofas and armchairs, wooden tables with small lit lamps and potted plants; behind, the dome of San Carlo al Corso and the rooftops of Rome as far as the Vittoriano

Bulgari Hotel Roma

The Mausoleum of Augustus outside, a mosaic pool within and Rome from the fifth floor.

Piazza della Minerva with Bernini’s elephant, the hotel’s facade and the Pantheon

Orient Express La Minerva

The 1620 palazzo behind the Pantheon: a glass atrium, a hammam and a roof facing the dome.

Hotel Berna · hero

Hotel Berna

Come to Berna for a Milan stop that begins and ends by train, with Centrale nearby. Before committing to a rate, check which building your room occupies.

NYX Hotel Milan - Patio

NYX Hotel Milan

Come to NYX to step off a train at Centrale and reach the hotel in about 3 minutes on foot. The bar and DJ evenings give the stay a lively character; choose it if that belongs in your trip too.

Starhotels E.c.ho. · hero

Starhotels E.c.ho.

E.c.ho. puts your bedroom 100 metres from Milano Centrale; look here for a stay that combines trains and city days. If you want to step straight into the historic centre each morning, look closer to the Duomo.

UNA HOTELS Galles Milano - Terrace

UNA Hotels Galles Milano

For shopping on Corso Buenos Aires, I would consider Galles, with the metro nearby for getting around. If your stay revolves around the Duomo and walks through the historic centre, I would choose a base further south.

B&B HOTEL Milano Cenisio Garibaldi

B&B HOTEL Milano Cenisio Garibaldi

Come to Cenisio Garibaldi for the nearby M5 and days moving through Milan by metro. If driving, your choice also depends on whether your vehicle may enter Area B.

ibis Milano Centro · hero

ibis Milano Centro

ibis Milano Centro puts Repubblica 200 metres away and Milano Centrale about 10 minutes on foot. For long stretches in the bedroom, compare the categories’ floor areas before the rate.
