Look on Trip Advisor for the hotel reviews. The number of days you have for each city is good.

Sorry I cannot help more with your hotels but if you have any other specific questions, let me know.

Hi R,

Your title is way too vague. Be more specific and you'll receive many more responses.

Just so you know, in Rome you can't be near both the Vatican and the Spanish Steps. Actually, Residenza San Pantaleo isn't near either one, it is just south of Piazza Navona. That said, that's really a better location anyway. I almost stayed there but ended up going with a convent because it was much cheaper, but San Pantaleo had good reviews for a basic, no-frills place to stay. And the location is great!
