# Hotel Artemide vs iQ Hotel Roma

Two Via Nazionale / Termini four-stars a few streets apart — answering whether you pay for the higher headline score and the spa, or take the closer station walk and the sauna.

## Why this pair

Same neighbourhood band, same landmark shortlist, substitutable on a Rome spreadsheet. Pairing Termini with the Pantheon would not answer the question readers actually face between these two pins.

## Verdict

Take Artemide for the higher supplier score and the spa/wellness centre; take iQ for the closer Termini walk and slightly stronger amenities category — accepting the value caveat at either address.

Position is nearly tied. Artemide puts Termini at 0.6 km and Trevi at 0.6 km; iQ puts Termini at 0.4 km and Trevi at 0.6 km. Location scores 10 against 9.87 — both strong for the same belt.

Headline scores favour Artemide: 9.6 out of 10 from 2,584 reviews against 9.4 from 2,560, captured January and December 2025 respectively. iQ leads on value honesty — 8.31 with price named as a con — while Artemide posts 9.16 on value but names a slow elevator and no room service.

Facilities split on spa depth: Artemide lists spa/wellness centre and fitness; iQ lists sauna and fitness without spa/wellness in the cited list. Both list restaurant and bar. Neither lists a pool.

Both associate FCO in the property’s records. Neither publishes check-in or check-out times in the property’s records rows we use.

**Best for:**
- Choosing between two Termini-side four-stars on Via Nazionale / Via Firenze
- Travellers weighing a spa against a 0.2 km shorter walk to Termini

**Not for:**
- Anyone who needs a Pantheon doorstep — both are 1.1–1.3 km from the Pantheon
- Guests who need a pool — neither lists one
