About

Aelius

Aelius Bed & Breakfast Rome is a small, cosy property on Via Volturno, a short walk from Termini station. It's the kind of base that works well for first-time visitors: the train links make the airport connection easy, and many of the city's landmarks, including the Trevi Fountain, are within walking distance. The building is part of the historic district, and the rooms are soundproofed, with air conditioning and tea and coffee facilities.

There's no full restaurant here — instead, breakfast is served at a nearby café, which guests consistently describe as a fresh and pleasant start to the day. The staff receive regular praise for being accommodating and for offering solid local recommendations. It's a straightforward, well-run B&B rather than a grand hotel, and that's reflected in the pricing, with rooms starting at £85.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Staff go out of their way — Guests repeatedly mention accommodating staff who offer great service and helpful local recommendations, from day-one tips to scooter routes.
  • Positioned for easy exploring — A short walk from Termini station and within walking distance of the Trevi Fountain and other central sights. Public transport links are at the doorstep.
  • Thoughtful in-room comforts — Rooms come with electric kettles, tea and coffee facilities, air conditioning and soundproofing — details that make a city stay more comfortable.
  • Breakfast handled well — Instead of a hotel buffet, breakfast is served at a nearby café. Guests call it fresh, delicious and a great start to the day.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort rating trails the rest — The overall comfort score sits at 5.0, well below the hotel's other category ratings. Some guests may find the beds or room feel less plush than the service and location.
  • Check-in window is specific — Check-in runs from 13:00 to 20:00. If your flight lands late or your plans are loose, the fixed window may require planning ahead.
  • Small property, limited facilities — There's no on-site restaurant or gym — breakfast happens at a nearby café, and the shared spaces are limited. The hotel's own facilities rating (9.1) is good for the class, but don't expect big-hotel extras.
  • No pets — Pets are not allowed, so if you're travelling with a dog, this isn't the place.

04 — Location

Getting around Rome

The property sits in Rome.

Trevi Fountain: A short walk from the hotel — one guest called it 'a short walk to the Trevi Fountain'. Toss a coin and enjoy the baroque spectacle, ideally early morning or late evening when the crowds thin.

Termini Station: The central station is within easy walking distance, making the airport connection simple and giving you direct links to the rest of the city and beyond.

Historic district: The hotel sits in the heart of the historic district, so many of Rome's main sights — from Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum — are within reach on foot or via a short metro ride.
