It also has roomy rooms and bathrooms. But if you want a hotel at a lower cost, I would also recommend Santa Chiara or Due Torri.<BR>

I have stayed at the Santa Chiara twice.<BR>It is a really great location and the rooms are quite adequate. Not luxurious but there is so much to do and see in Rome that we did not spend too much time in the hotel. The neighborhood is great and seems very safe. Hope this helps.<BR>Have a great trip.<BR>Kay

I can only speak to the Santa Chiara.<BR>Perfect location, small (single) room, good bathroom, room decor pleasant enough, outstanding breakfast (included) with excellent coffee, helpful staff, services like laundry available if you want it, air conditioning.And did I mention perfect location? Ask for a room facing the back to avoid motorcycle noise.

Thanks everyone for the input. Although, I am now undecided between S. Ciara, Cesari, and due Torri- all with basically same rate. Since these three were recommended I think I'll skip the Residenza and save a few bucks- esp since we never spend any time in hotel. Now, in trying to make my decision b/t these other 3- have any of you stayed in more than one of these and liked one more than the other, or just recommending based on staying at that one hotel? Thanks!

Sta Chiara is best of the bunch. Rome is hot, so AC, elevator and good bath are important. Nice clientele. Breakfast is good. Classy touches.

We will be staying at the del Senato for a higher price. For what time period did you get that price? How long ago did you book?<BR><BR>I e-mailed them and they told me the price on their web-site was for July and August. I am curious.<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR>Debby

I too can recommend the Sta. Chiara (though I haven't stayed at the others you listed). The location is fabulous, the room and bathroom is good-sized, the hotel is classy and the breakfast buffet is pretty extensive (by European standards, anyway). Have fun!

Does the Santa Chiara have a website?

Stayed at Cesari and thought the location was unbeatable, staff very helpful, breakfast very good. Front door is on pedestrian-only sidestreet/courtyard with little cafe next door, bakery/little grocery within a block. Walk in one direction and branches out to many pedestrian-only streets. Yet, block away in other direction is street where you can catch the bus. Trevi/Pantheon about 2 blocks.They may give corporate discount though not sure if specific companies.

Debbie- The rates for del Senato were for 8/29/02 for 3 nights. Check www.venere.com for rates. <BR><BR>Thanks to all for suggestions. I still have not made up my mind...but getting closer!

emily

oops- that should read www.venere.com

Thanks Emily,<BR><BR>We're going in June. They did say they were less expensive for July and August. Hope you have a great time. I can't wait to go.<BR><BR>Debby

I would look at the rants and raves section for the hotels you're interested in. We chose the Cesari because everyone rated it highly while the Santa Chiara had some bad comments.
