Good budget hotel in a great area (Rome) and other Rome, Italy Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

I stayed two nights at Hotel Romano in a single with private bath. (80e /night). The room was very small, but also very clean and secure. The best part of the Romano was the location (right next to the Forum at the end of Via Cavour) and the staff of the hotel. all of the people at the front desk spoke English, were very polite, gave restaurant recommendations, lent umbrullas when it rained and hailed cabs for me. They really made my stay here pleasant.

Hotel Romano isn't fancy, and there are no elevators so you have to carry your bags up the stairs. But I thought it was a good price for the location, cleanliness and great service. The windows are very thick, so it's nice and quiet at night, unlike other hotels in the area. And my room had a great view of the Forum.

I stayed at the Mecenate Palace hotel for three nights in a triple room. The hotel is a little more expensive than the others in the area (279e/ night) but it was worth every penny!

The Mecenate Palace Hotel is in a wonderful location (right next to the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, a 10 minute walk from the train station). The hotel is very elegant and the service at the front desk is top notch. Our room was large and furnished with beautiful cherrywood furniture. The bathroom was enormous and really luxurious. Overall, the service was outstanding.

There is a wonderful rooftop restaurant/bar/patio here with great views that we really enjoyed. The hotel is also close to the Metro. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rome.
