Fawlty Towers

I heard that the Faulty Towers in Rome is a great, inexpensive place to stay, especially for travelers traveling alone. Has anyone stayed there? p.s. On my last topic I put in Monty Python instead of Faulty Towers. I feel like a complete idiot. I had the wrong name of the place it is called Fawlty Towers. I can't believe I did that.

Actually, no need to feel foolish, because I think it turned out to be one of the very best threads we've had here! (And thanks for it, BTW.) BC

It was quite funny after I told some of my friends who are huge Monty Python fans. Im not going to live that one down for a long time.

Paul, posted on the other one. But, you can read about the F.T. in the book Let's Go Rome. If you do not have access to the book, and would like me to send you the info I have, E- me.

Paul, Although I haven't stayed at Fawlty Towers, I happen to know that it's recommended in Rick Steves' Italy guide. Just in case you don't have it (and I'm quoting the book here): "Fawlty Towers, Via Magenta 39, tel & fax 06-445-0374, e-mail: [email protected] is a backpacker-type place well run by the Aussies from Enjoy Rome. It's young, hip, and English-speaking with a rooftop terrace, lots of information, and now curfew (shared co-ed 4-bed dorms). Reservations can be made by credit card but pay in cash." Hope this helps - and I have to admit - I enjoyed everyone's contributions to your Monty Python posting.

Er...that's "no" curfew not "now"...but then you probably figured that out.

Thanx for the advice. I think I will stay there. What is the best way to book? Through a booking agency or to just call them since they probably speak some english there?

I regret to inform you that Fawlty Towers burned down while the staff looked for the holy grail. Those travelling alone remains are unidentified. They promise to reopen as a more expensive place for doubles.RIP.
