Best Hotels with a Bar near Roma Termini
Five hotels within a short walk of Roma Termini list a bar, and they cover every register from five-star to simple B&B. Hotel NH Collection Roma Palazzo Cinquecento, on Piazza dei Cinquecento, pairs its bar with a rooftop terrace and a restaurant. Hotel Rimini Roma Termini occupies a 19th-century building, Hotel Marco Polo adds free breakfast, Suite dal Conte offers room service and an airport shuttle, and Caroline Suite sits directly opposite the station. Around them are Palazzo Massimo, the Baths of Diocletian and Santa Maria Maggiore, so an evening drink can follow a day of sightseeing without crossing the city.
Termini is Rome's working gateway: the largest station in Italy, where the Leonardo Express arrives from Fiumicino and the two metro lines cross. The Esquilino district around it is mixed and international, with the Baths of Diocletian and the Palazzo Massimo museum on one side and Santa Maria Maggiore a few blocks south. It is a practical base rather than a scenic one, with the historic centre a short metro ride away.
Five bars within walking distance of Termini
A hotel bar near Termini is useful because the station area changes character at night. Piazza dei Cinquecento is a bus terminal and a transit hub rather than a place to linger, so a drink in your own hotel is the easy option after a late Leonardo Express from Fiumicino or a long day across Rome on Metro lines A and B, which meet under the station.
Hotel NH Collection Roma Palazzo Cinquecento is the address I would choose for a drink worth staying in for. It is the only five-star hotel in this group and the most reviewed, with a 9.2 rating from 2,274 reviews, and it combines its bar with a restaurant, a rooftop terrace, a fitness centre, parking and a pet-friendly policy, a short walk from Roma Termini. The rooftop is the obvious place for an evening aperitivo after arriving on the Leonardo Express, and the hotel suits both families and business travellers who want a polished base beside the station.
Hotel Rimini Roma Termini offers more character than its three stars suggest. It occupies a 19th-century building with individually decorated rooms, a restaurant and a bar, along with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, parking and a pet-friendly policy. Its rating of 7.2 from 640 reviews is modest, so it suits travellers who value the building and the location over polish. Hotel Marco Polo, rated 7.4 from 916 reviews, is the family option, with a casual bar, a restaurant, free breakfast, satellite TV and pet-friendly rooms, a simple and practical base near the station.
Suite dal Conte is the best rated of the smaller addresses, with an 8.4 rating, though that score comes from only 25 reviews. This three-star hotel lists a bar, room service, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, parking, a pet-friendly policy and an airport shuttle, a short walk from Roma Termini. The shuttle is a useful extra for travellers who prefer a door-to-door transfer to Fiumicino or Ciampino over the train. With so few reviews behind it, I would read the most recent ones carefully before booking, but the combination of services is unusual at this level near the station.
Caroline Suite is the closest address of all, an informal B&B directly opposite Roma Termini railway station. It lists a bar, a continental breakfast and pet-friendly rooms, which makes it workable for families and travellers with animals who want the shortest possible walk with luggage. Its 7.2 rating rests on 65 reviews, so expectations should match a simple B&B rather than a hotel. For a single night before an early train or the airport express, the position is hard to beat, and the bar means you do not need to cross Piazza dei Cinquecento after dark.
A traveler's perspectiveI recommend Hotel NH Collection Roma Palazzo Cinquecento for a first night in Rome: arrive on the Leonardo Express, drop the bags a short walk from the platform and take an aperitivo on the rooftop terrace. The next morning, the Baths of Diocletian and Palazzo Massimo are just across Piazza dei Cinquecento.
