Rome — Hotel Golden

We stayed five nights mid-July 2023 in a superior king room at Hotel Golden ($188 /night) including breakfast. It’s a small family run hotel comprised of very limited common areas although the room was adequate and in a good location. We took advantage of being just steps from Villa Borghese, a large park with many worthwhile attractions that also served as a cooler reprieve from the summer heat of Rome. Easy walking distance to all the things we wanted to see, Metro nearby which we didn’t use. Also taxis are easy. Rome is one of our favorite cities in Europe. You cannot get a bad meal and magic will happen in unexpected places. This a low-key, affordable option in a quiet area and Mama Teresa will cook you breakfast every morning.
