Help - Hotels in Rome
 
Hello - I'm planning a trip to Rome (August 7-14) and usually rent accommodations. As I will only be there for 6 nights I'm looking at hotel rooms - has anyone stayed at the following - are they close to the main attractions - I'm a walker and am comfortable taking subways and trains. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hotel Executive
Grand Hotel Beverley Hills
Ripa Hotel
Vittoria Veneto
Napoleon Hotel

ajak,

I don't think your list of hotels are very well located. Any of the ones Bob the Navigator listed are much better choices.

A luxury 5 star addition to his list would be the St. George- http://www.stgeorgehotel.it/

Not sure what your budget is, but Hotel Sistina in Rome is fantastic. I am staying there (for the second time) in July. I got a great rate, and its very close to the Spanish Steps... within walking distance to almost everything. http://www.leonardihotels.com/Sistina/index.jsp

Look at Albergo Del Senato in it is fabulous fien even though it is 3 stars. Great prices for August.

Hello - thank you for the responses. Sorry my email was not very clear - I usually rent my own accommodations and prefer apartments over hotel rooms but the hotels that I listed are a package deal (flight & hotel) - I thought I might go that route as the price was very good (now I know why!!)

Will look into booking my own flight and apartment. Thanks again!
