We are looking for a centrally located and reasonably priced place to stay in Rome for three nights in October, and then a place for one night in Naples since we are flying out from Naples very early in the morning. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Terry in NY

Terry, what do you consider reasonable and how many people/rooms are you looking for? First thing I usually do in looking for hotels in Italy is check out the RS book, find reviews on Venere & TripAdvisor, and then directly email the hotels I am interested in. Ask for their rates & if they will give you a discount for having the RS book or if they give a discount for payment in cash. In my experience, they often give a better rate from a direct email inquiry than the rates quoted on their website.

Hi Mimi,
Thanks for your suggestions. I have been emailing directly w/ the hotels and some of them have quoted better rates than their website. I am all set now with Rome, just trying to find one in Naples for our final day/ night.

We stayed in a Novatel in Caserta, north of Naples. They had an internet special of 80E a night. BUT, Caserta is not on the tourist track, and might be considered sort of industrial. Not exactly picturesque.

Terry,
We are taking a RS Best of South Italy in Sept. The tour starts at Casa San Giuseppe in Trastevere. I got a great rate at the Nerva Hotel for 3 prior nights. I love walking by the coliseum at night.
Our tour ends in Naples at the Hotel Chiaia Other than that I don't know any hotels in Naples.
What hotel did you decide on for Rome? Have a great trip!
