Great place to stay in Rome on a budget and other Rome, Italy Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

We stayed 2 nights in Rome at this pop inn hostel. We could not have asked for a more friendly, helpful, young, English speaking staff. We were going through a difficult time with things at home and they were very helpful and wonderful to be around. We had a triple room with a shared bathroom for 75 euro which was very clean and attractive. It is very easy walking distance from the termini but it is behind the termini in which we considered to be the nicer side of the termini and was relatively quiet.

This is not something much discussed on VT although I have seen sleepinginairports.com mentioned on the forums. This website however does not give much current information and I was not at all sure it could be done. It is not for eveyone but for us to stay up till 10 or 11 and then go to bed for at best $100 for a short nights sleep, our flight was at 7, if we caught the first Leonardo express we would get there at 6, leave at 5:22, get up at 4:40? No thank you. So we got the 22:22 train to FCO along with 50 others that were doing the same thing. Was it a problem? NO
We took a little food and some wine (in a box) no opener.....it was good, hey
No one gave us any trouble at all. People were camping out at the airport and smoking under no smoking everywhere signs! I thought we were already pushing the limits even being there but to smoke? lol only in Italy.
so it wasn't exactly comfortable sleeping, the people in the darkened hallway with the big wide windowsills had the better idea but we thought it would be too cold. HA that airport was FREEZING, take a blanket or sleeping bag or 2 coats. Still I would do it again.

Unique Qualities: very uncomfortable seating/sleeping area
