The Hotel Astoria Garden takes its name from its beautiful private garden, full of Mediterranean plants and orange trees. The hotel building was previously the home of an Italian count and although extensively renovated retains some original features, including the 200-year-old iron and marble staircase. Some rooms have balconies which look out onto the garden. The hotel is close to Termini station, which makes all of Rome's attractions accessible via the underground system, but its location in a peaceful area offers an opportunity to retreat from the busy city.

The Daphne is in fact two small boutique hotels, located within three minutes walk of each other and about fifteen minutes walk from Termini Station. The Barberini underground station is only one minute away. The Daphne Trevi is housed in an 18th century building with its original spiral marble staircase---be warned, there is no elevator. Some rooms have a shared bathroom. The Daphne Veneto is in a 19th century building, and all rooms here have a private bathroom. Both Daphne Hotels are only a few minutes from some of the major tourist sights at the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. The owners aim to provide a personalized service to guests, including the use of a cellphone during your stay and advice on any aspect of visiting Rome.
