Hotel della Torre ArgentinaHotel Review
When I made a short solo trip to Rome a while back, I searched the Web site of our booking partner to find a hotel that met several criteria:
A number of hotels met my criteria, but the most convenient choice for my purposes was the Hotel della Torre Argentina, which is located on the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II next to the Largo di Torre Argentina--a square with extensive Roman ruins, a cat sanctuary (see photo below), and a tram line that runs directly to Trastevere Station. I booked a single room, which turned out to be a double at a steeply-discounted price. The room wasn't huge, but it was big enough, with a traditional decor, a comfortable bed, a sleek modern bathroom, and air conditioning. Internet access was via an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi. Downstairs, the comfortable lobby had a good selection of newspapers. Breakfast was included in the room rate. It consisted of a generous buffet that was served in a vaulted cellar breakfast room. I spent three nights at the Hotel della Torre Argentina, and I had no complaints or problems during my stay. (I was especially pleased that the hotel permitted check-in at any time after noon, which meant I didn't have to kill time by wandering around the city in a daze after an overnight flight.)
