Staying in Rome

Karen, Yes, I've stayed at Hotel Aberdeen, and I'd definitely recommend it. Another Hotel that I often use in that area is Hotel Sonya and that's also recommended. Cheers!

No, sorry.

Yes, my wife and I have stayed there a number of times. It is without doubt the best hotel in Roma. Run and owned by Annamaria, Cinzia and Sabrina and a host of cousins, all of whom and very nice, informative, lovely hosts. There is a 'grocery store', a Metro stop, a bus stop and a good restaurant within a block. One block off Via Nazionale, Roma's Main Street there is a pharmacy about 3 blocks away, several bank ATMs and Nazionale leads to Piazza Venezia, the center of Roma and goes on the Piazza Navona, Campo di Fiori and the Vatican. It is about 6 blocks from Termini and Piazza Repubblica is just 2 blocks. Quiet, comfortable, clean, good prices and lovely people. Safe too.

Charles, you forgot the Target restaurant behind Aberdeen. We are fans of the Aberdeen along with Hotel Sonya if Aberdeen is unavailable. Never heard of Gullivers Lodge.

Thanks, just booked there for the nights I needed via Rick Steve's link!
