No, there were no hotels in ancient Rome -- at least as we know them. A stranger could get lodging in some taverns or even in a side room or upper room of various businesses. However most people who traveled to Rome stayed with friends or relatives or even friends of friends as the lodging in public places was usually grossly inferior and home to fleas and lice. On the highways, though, the government maintained way stations where the imperial messengers could change horses, eat, rest etc. At these "mansios" there was always room for travelers to stop over.

∙ 11y agoNo, but they had motels. All along the major highways, about 18 miles apart, the government had "mansios" which were imperial/military stopovers where a government official or messenger could change horses, spend the night or just get something to eat. Close to these governmental facilities private businesses sprung up to accommodate the civilian travelers with rest, food and an overnighter if needed. In the cities there were no hotels as we know them. If a traveler needed a place to stay he stayed with friends or found a wine shop or tavern that rented out rooms. Of course, if the traveler were wealthy he would send a slave on ahead to secure accommodations by renting a house or apartment in an insula.
