Rome: Hotels, Neighborhoods, Must See

We are spending 5 days in Rome before our Western Med. cruise and I'm trying to find a reasonable hotel that is in a good neighborhood for getting around without much hassle.  Any recs for hotels, best areas to look in, or your fav. things to see/do would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Rome: Hotels, Neighborhoods, Must See

  • We stayed in the Campo de' Fiori neighborhood back in September. We found an awesome apartment through www.rentalinrome.com. We paid only 110 Euro per night plus 20 Euros for an agency fee which was extremely reasonable for its location and the size of the apartment. In addition to the Campo de' Fiori neighborhood, I would also recommend Piazza Navona. Both of these neighborhoods are centrally located, near the major bus lines, and have lots of dining options. I have an entry in my blog on our apartment rental: http://wanderlusttraveler.blogspot.com/2012/01/rome-italy-accomodation-dining.html

    I also have an entry on things to do and see in Rome here: http://wanderlusttraveler.blogspot.com/2012/01/rome-italy-sightseeing.html

    We were there four days, so with five days you will be able to see a lot! 

     

  • Thanks for the info!  I am excited to have 5 days before our cruise so we don't have to burn ourselves out before heading out to the other destinations, it will be nice to pace ourselves and not feel guilty about lounging at the hotel a couple mornings or heading back in the afternoon for a nap. 
  • We have stayed at both The Hotel Italia (hotelitaliaroma.it) and The Hotel Concordia (concordiahotel.it).  Rome is my favorite place on Earth.  I hope you love it.  We have more details on our blog at: http://justanothertravelblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Italy

     

  • what's your budget?
    Friday, December 28 2012. The day I had emergency appendix surgery in Mexico and quit smoking. Proof that everything has a good side!! DH and I are happily child-free!! No due date or toddler tickers here!! my read shelf:
    Alison's book recommendations, favorite quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf) 
  • The walking food tour of the Testaccio neighborhood.  It was great and gives a glimpse of how real people live there.  I loved it.  And, of course the food was delish!
    Like any good super hero, I'm using my alter ego to protect my identity. Goodbye Silver poster status!
