I think in addition to hotels you should look into hostels, and even convents that take in guests, as long as you can deal with the occasional curfew. hostels: www.hiayh.org www.hostelseurope.com/ www.hostelwatch.com/hostels/welcome.html www.hostels.com www.eurotrip.co m/hostels In Rome, I haven't stayed there, but Protezione della Giovane, via Urbana 158, phone 06 48 81 489 or 06 48 80 056 is a residence for unmarried women under the age of 25 Also Rome Convents and Monasteries that accept guests: http://www.romeguide.it/files/cas_rein.htm A complete list is available from the Centro Peregrinatio ad Petri Sedem, Piazza Pio Xii, 4 (Vatican City) phone 06 69 88 48 96, fax 06 69 88 56 17. Suore Dorotee, via del Gianicolo 4A, 00165 Rome - in the Janiculum Hill area, tel. 06/6880.3349, fax 06/6880.3311. Istituto Ravasco, via Pio VIII 28, 00165 Rome - tel. 06/3937.5805, fax 06/636.721. Domus Pacis, via di Torre Rossa 94, 00165 Rome - Tel. 06/638.3888, fax 06/3936.6795. Villa Bassi, via G. Carini 24, 00132 Rome - Tel. 06/581.5333. Le Suore di Lourdes, via Sistina 113, 00187 Rome - near the Spanish Steps, tel. 06/474.5324, fax 06/4741.422. The Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement, via Monte del Gallo 105, 00165 Rome - near the Vatican, tel. 06/630.782, fax 06/638.6149. From National Geographic Traveler magazine 3. Casa di Santa Brigida, Piazza Farnese 96, phone 68 89 25 96, fax 68 89 15, 73, www.bridigine.org "A block from…Campo dei Fiori, the Santa Brigida is one of the city's most peaceful and well-appointed convent guesthouses….There's no curfew…Rooms are tastefully simple…there's air conditioning…modern bathrooms…sitting rooms sumptuously appointed…roooftop garden…book long in advance…choice of rooms is not up to you…breakfast is bread, cheese, eggs, juice, coffee…23 rooms…no tvs and no double beds." For other cities and towns, I'll bet the national or local tourist offices will have suggestions for hostels and for inexpensive places to stay. You might also want to look at the guidebook "Let's Go Europe" as it is published by students (Harvard) for students.

I was in Venice last month and stayed at the Citta de Milan. It was cheap, and clean. great location, 2 minutes from Piazza San Marco. Let me know if you want more info. One thing to remember for any cheaper hotel, book early.
