4. Roger Vatican Dream, Vatican City – Prati, Rome

An ongoing theme among Rome hotels with good WiFi is that they’re often independently run, family-businesses.

It’s this attention to detail that guests love about Roger Vatican Dream, a small guesthouse in the heart of Vatican City.

5. Deko Rome, Via Veneto, Rome

Even though Rome’s famous Spanish Steps are only 10 minutes away from this stylish B&B, guests usually prefer to rely on the owner’s recommendations. Especially as those recommendations include which online maps to use while navigating the city, guided tours, and even personally booking restaurants. Throw in the free, super fast WiFi and it’s no wonder that this place is so popular.

6. Circo Massimo Guest House, Vatican City – Prati, Rome

8. Rome Frattina27, Spagna, Rome

Located on one of Rome’s most popular shopping streets, Frattina27 apartments embrace the high-class surroundings but the owners manage to keep their feet on the ground. While every room might be stocked with designer toiletries, the basics (like great WiFi and a decent breakfast) aren’t overlooked.
