Check rates for The Hive Hotel
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Romehotel search — search for “The Hive Hotel” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +39 06 4041 2000 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
Book it for the Forum-side pin and the spa kit; do not book it expecting standout breakfast or all-included wellness — food scores 7.76 and additional charges for amenities are named cons.
The pin is the product. our hotel data provider puts Piazza Venezia at 0.2 km, the Capitoline Museums at 0.3 km, the Roman Forum at 0.4 km, the Pantheon at 0.9 km and the Colosseum at 1 km. Location scores 9.27 out of 10 — strong, aimed at ancient Rome rather than Termini convenience.
The supplier rating is 8.7 out of 10 from 8,739 reviews, captured 10 December 2025 — the largest sample in this Rome set. Service scores 9.23, room quality 8.72, value 8.81, overall experience 8.93. Food and beverage is the clear soft spot at 7.76, matching limited food options as a con; additional charges for amenities are also named.
Facilities punch above midrange on paper: spa/wellness centre, hammam, sauna, massage, fitness centre, restaurant, bar, parking and an airport shuttle are listed. Read the cons — spa and gym access is flagged as not always included in the rate.
Check-in and check-out times are not published by the property. our hotel data provider records no airport_code on the row.
Best for
- First-time visitors who want the Forum and Colosseum within walking distance
- Travellers who want a hammam and spa on site and will confirm what the rate includes
- Anyone who trusts an 8,739-review sample over a smaller headline score
Not for
- Guests booking primarily for breakfast — food and beverage scores 7.76 out of 10
- Anyone who assumes spa and gym are bundled — additional charges are a named con
- Termini-first arrivals who want a 0.4 km station walk; Termini is 1.1 km here

The supplier’s overall score
Third-party guest reviews: 8.7/10 from 8,739 reviews — as of
This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.
