About

Central Lodge Hotel

Central Lodge Hotel is a 3-star hotel on Via Buonarroti 19, in a part of Rome that guests describe as safe and tourist-friendly. The hotel’s description highlights Domus Aurea Palace 600 metres away, while reviews point to the metro, train station and airport shuttle stop being close by. On-site extras include a guided tour service, tours and ticket assistance, and a paid airport shuttle.

The property earns an 8.6 guest score from 1,724 reviews, helped by consistently positive comments about staff, cleanliness and quiet, comfortable rooms. The weakest category in the guest ratings is dining at 5, so it is best approached as a dependable, good-value base rather than a food-led stay. Rooms list air conditioning and heating, and the hotel has facilities for disabled guests, luggage storage, a bar/lounge area, and pet-friendly policies.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Strong location for sightseeing — The hotel sits 600 metres from Domus Aurea Palace, and reviewers describe the area as safe and tourist-friendly, with the metro, train station and airport shuttle stop close by. The property also offers a guided tour service and tours/ticket assistance.
  • Attentive, well-regarded staff — Multiple guest reviews call out the front desk and night shift as kind, helpful and welcoming, with coffee and tea offered throughout the day. This comes through as one of the most consistent positives across the reviews.
  • Good value for a city break — With rooms from £51 per night, an 8.6 guest score and 1,724 ratings, it reads as a reasonably priced, dependable base in a well-connected location.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Dining scores below the rest of the stay — While individual reviews praise the breakfast spread, the hotel's overall dining category score is the weakest at 5, below the property's 8.6 overall rating. Treat breakfast as a convenience rather than the reason to book.
  • Restricted check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:00, so late-night arrivals may need to plan around the front desk hours.
  • No on-site parking listed — The hotel does not list parking among its facilities, so most guests will rely on the nearby metro, train station and airport shuttle or the paid airport shuttle.
