Hotel Artemide — The Station and the Forum From One Address
It fits when you want a high-scoring four-star that reaches both the station and Ancient Rome on foot, with a spa for the evenings. It does not fit if the Vatican is your daily anchor — 3.30km is a ride, not a walk.

A 9.2 with real evidence behind it
Four of the 28 Rome properties on this site reach 9.2. This one does it on 916 reviews, which places it between Hotel Damaso’s 203 at the same score and iQ Hotel Roma’s 2,537.
That middle position is worth naming, because a score is only as good as the number of people who tested it. 916 is enough to be confident the number is real rather than a run of good luck.
| Distance | |
|---|---|
| Roma Termini | 636m |
| Colosseum | 1.19km |
| Pantheon | 1.40km |
| St Peter’s Basilica | 3.30km |
| Fiumicino Airport | 23.87km |
Via Nazionale is the spine of this part of Rome — it runs from the station down to Piazza Venezia, which is why one address can sit within a kilometre and a half of both the platforms and the Forum. The Vatican, at 3.30km, is the thing it does not reach.
Rooms — 91 of them, doubles and suites
Doubles and suites, running from a basic double through a comfort double to a junior suite. There is no triple and no quad listed, so a party of three should confirm before booking — Rome is short of anything above two and this property is not one of the exceptions.
Nobody in the twelve reviews we read complains about size or condition, and two describe the rooms as quieter than Via Nazionale would suggest. That road is the spine of this part of Rome and it is busy; if you sleep lightly, ask for a room off the street.
Facilities — a sauna, a spa and a gym
Only two four-star properties in this comparison carry that combination, and this is one of them. It is not a luxury for its own sake here: days in Rome are measured in kilometres of cobblestone, and a sauna at the end of one is a different proposition from a sauna at a beach resort.
Cleanliness dominates the sample at seven of twelve reviews, with breakfast raised five times and the spa twice.
A restaurant completes the list. There is no pool — in central Rome that is the norm rather than a gap, and the two properties in this comparison whose listings imply one turn out to have a jacuzzi on the roof.
Best for
- Days split between the Forum and the old city
- Wanting a sauna and spa after long walking days
- Arriving and leaving by train
Not ideal if
- The Vatican Museums are the reason for the trip
- You want a quiet residential street
The spa is the differentiator
A sauna, a spa and a gym. In this comparison only two four-star properties carry that combination — this one and iQ Hotel Roma, 500m closer to the station.
That is not a luxury for its own sake in Rome. Days here are measured in kilometres of cobblestone, and a sauna at the end of one is a different proposition from a sauna at a beach resort. Guests raise cleanliness most often — seven of twelve reviews — with breakfast, quiet and the view following.
What to weigh against it
Via Nazionale is a main road. That is what makes the position work, and it is also what it is: a busy commercial street rather than a quiet lane. Two guests in the sample mention the rooms being quieter than the street would suggest, which is encouraging but worth asking about at booking if you sleep lightly.
The other consideration is the Vatican. At 3.30km, a Vatican-heavy itinerary is fighting this address every morning. Vatican and Prati hotels puts St Peter’s inside 1.5km for every property in that district.
We have not stayed here. These are patterns across the guest reviews on the booking page, read on the date below, and we only pass on points several guests make.
Before you book
- 91 rooms, four stars. Doubles and suites are listed — confirm the configuration if you are three or more, since Rome is short of rooms above two
- Check-in 14:00, check-out 12:00
- The metro does not cross the historic centre, so the walking distances above are the real measure of this address
- City tax is added at check-out and scales with the star rating, sitting outside the rate you booked (the bands are on the Italy page)
Compared with the rest of Ancient Rome’s stays in hotels near the Colosseum.
FAQ
What makes 9.2 stand out?
Only four of the 28 Rome properties compared here reach it, and this one carries 916 reviews behind it — more evidence than Hotel Damaso's 203 at the same score, less than iQ Hotel Roma's 2,537.
Is there really a spa?
A sauna, spa and gym are listed in the property facilities. Along with iQ Hotel Roma near the station, it is one of only two four-stars in this comparison carrying that combination.
How walkable is it?
636m to Termini and 1.19km to the Colosseum, with the Pantheon at 1.40km. Via Nazionale runs downhill from the station towards Piazza Venezia, which is why both ends are reachable.
