My grandad, brother, and I will be going to Rome in 2+ weeks and I was trying to find a place to stay. I am looking for someplace nice but reasonable. I am not looking for a hostel as I am looking for someplace with some ambviance and a little more quiet than a hostel. Does anyone have any recommendations??? I am looking to book a hotel pretty soon. I would love to know if anyone has any responses!! Thanks! <BR> <BR>I need some place that is safe and in a good part of town too!

There are literally hundreds of hotels in Rome. If you haven't booked a room by now GOOD LUCK. I would bet that almost all of the god ones are booked pretty solid for the summer. Remember this is a Jubilee year. WE were in Rome during March and it was not very "crowded" but I would be concerned about he summer time. Hope you find a good hotel and have a great time.

Dear Amy, <BR> <BR> My Amy and I spent part of our honeymoon in Rome. If the Hotel Gregorio is the only hotel left, my suggestion is to forget Rome. The hotel had ears and eyes, if you know what I mean. Good luck finding a room. This is just a warning for those staying there. <BR> <BR>Roger

We stayed at the Brittania near the train station; my travel agent mom likes the Quirinale (sp?) Fodor's says that the Margutta and Alemandi are excellent for the money--see the list on the Website; also see Fodor's Budget guide for ideas. Have fun!!

Hi Amy, <BR>I can't tell you where to stay but I can tell you where not to. Do not stay at the Hotel Gambrinus. I would look for a place in the Rick Steve's 2000 Italy book. Good Luck.

hotel pincio near the spanish steps is great for you. it's centerally located, it's not expensive, the rooms are preety big and the atmosphere is very friendly. you can ask for quiet rooms as well. it's not very famous so there is a chance to find a vacancy. <BR>i don't remember the phone number, but you could find it in www.venere.it <BR>don't order through the net - use the phone. have fun!
