Why not to stay near Termini
The area around Termini is varied in style and feel and I find it handy to think of it as with several souls.
The area immediately beside the station, Via Giolitti side, has a gritty, run down feel to it and is not the most pleasant late at night especially if you are a woman alone.
This feel is limited to few streets and even there, it often feels worse than it is: however, especially if you are not used to big cities, this area may prove not ideal. NO hotel on this list are on these streets.
In front of the station you find several five stars hotels overlooking large, beautiful and busy squares such as monumental Piazza della Repubblica. These are perfect especially for business stays or if you want a high end, spacious, airy hotel.
The area between the station and the Colosseum is the area of Rione Monti (Monti neighborhood) which has small cobbled streets and a romantic and hipster atmospheres. Here you have smaller hotels, perfect especially for couples.
The area immediately around the station and Via Marsala is different again and has mostly budget hotels that can be handy to keep costs down while in Rome.
