About

Da Vinci

Da Vinci sits on Via Carlo Alberto in Esquilino, one of Rome's most connected neighbourhoods. Roma Termini, the city's main train station, is a short walk away, and the metro puts the rest of Rome within easy reach. Palatine Hill is about a 25-minute walk, with the Colosseum and Roman Forum reachable on foot in 15–20 minutes.

The hotel keeps things straightforward: air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, some with garden views, and a shared kitchen for guests. Luggage storage, a coffee shop, and a paid airport shuttle cover the practical bases. Staff earn consistent praise for friendliness, and the rating categories reflect it — a 9.5 for staff and 9.4 for the rooms.

  • No pets allowed — The policy explicitly states pets are not allowed, despite some pet amenities being listed. Travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Breakfast not always included — The hotel offers in-room breakfast as an amenity, but reviews suggest breakfast may be an extra or complimentary only on certain nights. Confirm when booking.

“The location was central, close to Via Cavour. The hotel itself was in a quiet area, very close to the touristic objectives – a 15–20 minute walk to the Colosseum, Forum Romanum, the railway station, and the Vatican.”
