Rome is larger than life!
Rome is larger than life! There are so many levels to explore here - from ancient history & archaeology, breathtakingly beautiful sculptures & monuments, architecture & art, delicious foods & wines, lovely culture & warm people, to music & nightlife. It is a city of many riches & a treasure to explore. Tips: Buy transportation tickets at any newsstand or tobacco shop in advance of getting on bus or train, be sure to validate ticket at all bus & rail tickets at boarding, do hop on bus at start of trip to get your bearings & buy a day pass for unlimited use of buses, tram & one metro trip if you anticipate more than 2 trips on public transportation. Rome is very spread out & there are lots of hills & steps. Transportation passes come in handy for covering large distances & dealing with most elevation challenges. You also can use bus tickets for 90 minutes in any direction after first validation. Cost: 1.5 euros.

There's enough to see and do for weeks.
There's enough to see and do for weeks. Compressed timelines make it a little bit more difficult to enjoy for that reason. If you're planning a trip here, plan it for at least a few days and have a good plan beforehand (do your research on transportation!, book tours in advance, make restaurant reservations, etc). Otherwise you probably won't be able to make the best of your time.

A must see.
A must see. So much to offer. Beautiful historical sites and museums. Great local restaurants. Vatican City was my personal favorite.
Beware of the taxi of the taxi drivers. If they sense you do not know where you are going they will gouge you on the fare.

Rome is a typical large city.
Rome is a typical large city. It has endless spectacle and amazing history. Like most cities is has litter, noise, and crowds. The juxtaposition of the classical and the contemporary never disappoints.

Architecture as I was expecting-amazing and breath taking.
Architecture as I was expecting-amazing and breath taking. Food absolutely marvelous and delicious. But I would say Italian people are not really tourist friendly. Got shouted out from the waiter TWICE in different places, got shouted out from some old lady because I did not let her to go to exchange point without staying in the queue. Waitresses were slaming and dropping our food and bills on the table without saying anything and giving us this not happy look... transport is always overcrowded and huge traffic as traffic management is really poor.... I would say 50/50 . Would I go back? I don't think so.

Ive been from northern Italy traveling down south as far as Amalfi Coast and have found all the way through the people are warm and friendly and happy and inviting, the food is excellent and the scenery is beautiful. You cant go wrobg traveling to Italy.
“Close to train terminal. Good connections and transport. This hostel is a mix of hostel and hotel. The room i had was very good, big for two persons. No ambience.
Very close to a supermarket (no too big) but you can buy meals and put it hot in the microwave. You have a fridge to put your meals. This is a bonus considering that is Rome.
In general is a good deal considering the ridiculuous prices of Rome. Consider that, like in whole Italy, you have to pay extra for a municipal tax.”
“Wonderful helpful, people. Exceptionally delicious breakfast. Our most comfortable room and bath in Italy. Great location for ancient Rome with the hotel looking at the ruins of the Augustus forum.”
“The owner was very friendly! He gave us many tips on the city and a map of Rome. The wifi was the best in all of Italy. Would definitely stay here on my next trip to Rome since Termini station is a very convenient spot. Tip: search for the address instead of a hotel sign.”
“Hotel Raphael is in the best location- being right off Piazza Navona makes it easy to walk pretty much everywhere. The staff are also wonderful- they were happy to make dinner reservations for us for our entire time in Italy, not just Rome.”
