The Best Affordable Hotels in Rome

"Condominio Monti is made up of two buildings in Monti, one of Rome’s most central neighborhoods. The exterior is unassuming—there’s even a faded old hotel sign hanging from the building windows—but walk through the air-conditioned entrance and things start to get interesting. Local Roman design firm, Studio Tamat, overhauled the two buildings a few years back, keeping the layout of a traditional Roman guesthouse, with all of the rooms arranged along a corridor. They’ve also livened up the lobby with soft green and gold walls, marble tables, and soft armchairs. There are cute design touches, like the shelf of hand-drawn postcards and maps of the local neighborhood." - Maresa Manara
