Hostels Near the Colosseum in Rome

I’ve said before that there’s a huge cluster of hostels around Termini Station in Rome, and although there are also hostels away from Termini, I’m sure you won’t be surprised to learn that there aren’t a ton of super-budget accommodation options right next to the city’s biggest attractions. And even if you’ve scored a deal on your airline tickets to Rome that doesn’t mean you’ll want to pay too much for your bed.

In particular, you’re going to need to pay more than hostel rates to get a room near the Colosseum. Hostels in Monti, the neighborhood between the Colosseum and Termini station, open, close and change names often, so check a booking site for dorm beds there. The good news is that the big cluster of hostels around Termini is only two stops from the Colosseum on Metro line B (get off at Colosseo), or a walk of about 20 to 25 minutes.
