Top hotels in Esquilino
Napoleon Hotel
Centrally located to train and subway Elevators are extremely small. You may have to carry your suitcase up a flight or two of stairs. Staff is extremely helpful and breakfast buffet was great!

Hotel Orazia
Entry to the property was confusing with no signage or guidance. Lift wasn’t suitable for size of property and not easy to use with a lack of instructions. Breakfast didn’t have enough food for the number of customers and table space was limited.
