I want to reserve (not pay in full before the trip) my hotel in Rome. Which site is reputable, fair and good-priced? I have heard bad things about romeby.com. Can someone advise me?

www.venere.com is the Cadillac - - for window-shopping, making inquiries, making reservations or cancellations.<BR><BR>I have used them often.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Rex, I have been offered a better price on romeby.com. Is the site legit?

Lola<BR>Rex is one of the experts on venere.it, but I will mention that I have never found one website anywhere that has the lowest rates all the time. And so far I have found every time that if I contact the hotel directly and ask them to match the rate I found on another website, the hotel has agreed to honor that rate. I prefer dealing directly with the hotel whenever I can so that from the beginning I am THEIR customer.

Check out www.itwg.com for good prices. This is the Italian Web Guide. Once I decided on my hotel I did a search by the name of the hotel and city only on a search engine. MSN.Com or Google. It was amazing the difference in prices.

I agree with every statement above, and Elaine is absolutely right that no web site has the best price or the best selection all the time.<BR><BR>Watch out for booking fees or cancellation fees on www.romeby.com<BR><BR>I have used ITWG once or twice. Got dinged by them once on a reservation I forgot to cancel. My fault not theirs.<BR>
