If you are thinking of traveling to Rome and you have started looking for accommodation, it is most likely that you are a bit saturated. It's normal, there are many accommodations in Rome, of all kinds and for all budgets.
Sometimes it is difficult to know, without knowing the city, which will be the best area to stay. It should be borne in mind that Italy is not characterized by the quality of accommodation. The prices are quite high and quality-price does not usually go hand in hand. However, don't worry, in this post I will tell you which are the best areas to stay in Rome and some great accommodation options.
WHERE TO STAY IN ROME: BEST AREAS AND HOTELS
The center of Rome, the best area to stay in Rome
As in all large European cities, staying in the center is the most comfortable option. By itself, Rome has many interesting places to visit and they are usually 2 or 3-day trips in the city, so the less time is lost in transport, the better. Although it is not the cheapest option.
The historic center of Rome is very large and I will actually divide it into several areas. We are going to specify that the center is the area that covers the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain, as well as the streets that surround these monuments.
In this area you will find beautiful streets, monuments and places of interest to visit and plenty of cafes, restaurants, shops...

Another area within the historic center would be in Campo dei Fiori and Piazza Farnese. In this central area, hotels are usually somewhat more expensive. But if you want to stay here, there is a hotel in Piazza Farnese that is spectacular. I leave you the link in case you want hotel information:
Via Veneto and Piazza Barberini, a very good area to stay in Rome
This area is one of the most elegant in Rome. You will notice it in its shops, cafes, buildings... And this of course comes at a price. This area is located between the Monti neighborhood and Plaza España. And if you are interested in staying here, here are some interesting accommodation options:
The Spanish Steps, one of the places with the most atmosphere to stay in Rome
In addition to being an area with a lot of atmosphere, you will find many places of interest and you can walk to the other areas of the historic center.
The Roman Colosseum and Ancient Rome, a great area to stay in Rome if you are going to be in the city for a short time
If you are thinking of traveling to Rome for the first time and you will only spend one or two days in the city, the area of the Roman Colosseum is one of the best options, taking into account that many of the places of interest to visit in Rome are located here.
The most important places to visit are the Colosseum, the Roman Forums, the Circuos Maxium and the Palatine. If you still do not know which are the essential places to visit in the city, you can read the article: 50 essential things to see and do in Rome

The Vatican - Prati, an area near the center where to stay in Rome
The Vatican area is an interesting and comfortable alternative where to stay in Rome. It is a quiet area and close to the center of Rome. In addition, here is the Basilica of Saint Peter, the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel (an essential thing to see in Rome) and the Castel Sant'Angelo.
Although it is an area further away from the center of Rome, you can go on foot or by metro. There are very good connections. It is usually a cheaper area than the center of Rome.
