Is this a pipe dream for late May 2011? Does anyone have any suggestions? Do not want a Hostel but B&B's are OK. TIA
Check out Hotel Smeraldo - http://www.smeraldoroma.com/ We stayed in a nice triple there a couple of years ago. It's in a great location near Campo de'Fiori.
Depending on how many nights you'll be there, you might want to look into renting an apartment. We've used VRBO.com before and there are other such websites.
Mid-June 2010 we stayed in a triple room a couple blocks from Termini. Nice place, included breakfast and cost 120euro/night. La Casa di Amy BB, Via Principe Amadeo, 85a, Rome http://www.lacasadiamy.com/
If you are going to be in Rome for 3 or more nights I recommend getting an apartment. They are plentiful and a much better arrangement than most hotels.
We spent a week in Rome this summer at an apartment one block behind the Piazza Navona, on Via della Pace: http://www.vrbo.com/242156 will get you pictures and the link. Hard to beat your own apartment in the center of everything.
Thanks everyone!! We have decided to go the apartment route. Got one for nine of us on Via di Capo le Case near the Spanish Steps. Thanks again. Mike
I concur with the apartment idea if you want to get under 200 and have a triple. If you're staying 3 days or more, you can find a rental in a reasonable area.
