Abitart Hotel is cool and contemporary with spacious new-build rooms (hard to find in inner Rome!) This fun boutique hotel has colourful styling and rates that won't break the bank - perfect.

The facilities

There's a gym; plus the manicure, body treatment and massage service will help you feel tip-top. Meeting rooms are also available for business folk and banquets.

Estro Bar is a trendy Napolitan pizzeria and wine bar, great for grabbing a quick meal or cocktail. The Cafe serves snacks and hot drinks until 1am, as well as midday meals on the terrace. Both are relaxed and funky, great for socialising.

The rooms

58 rooms and 8 suites are the perfect inner-city crashpads. All rooms have cheerful contemporary decor and access to free Wi-Fi. To get the full benefit, check in to one of the artistically-named suites - Del Poeta, with its stark yellow four poster bed scribbled-on notepaper decoration, is our favourite. If size is your thing, Cubista is largest with a full-size reprint of Picasso's Guernica on one wall.
