ACCOMMODATION IN ROME 1. Convents/Pensioni run by religious communities “Convents” in Rome are similar to B&B’s in Ireland / UK. They are run as guesthouses for pilgrims. Some of them expect the guests to be in by a certain hour. You will need to check for more up to date prices at the time of booking. Check that they accept credit cards (some do, some do not). Price includes breakfast, except where indicated. Do not expect to be filled for the day with the breakfast you will get. The first two are right across the street from the Vatican. Some give the price range as they vary depending on the time of the year (low and high season, Easter, August (lower), Christmas etc.). Check the exact price for your dates before booking. Check these websites: www.bbitalia.it or www.b-b.rm.it for info on B&B’s in Rome http://www.romanhostels.com/ This one has two Hostels that are very good value and central, though only one is on the www at present (Chaplin). Best to ask them about staying in Little Italy B&B.

This is my FIRST choice for all visitors to Rome but, understandably, it needs to be booked well in advance (several months in some cases). It is more expensive than the others, principally because of its proximity to the Vatican. Prices Single: € 75 Double: € 120 Triple: € 150 Quadruple: € 190 (this is a two bedroom apartment with 1 bathroom) PADRI TRINITARI Piazza Santa Maria alle Fornaci, 27 00165 Roma Telephone +39 - 06 - 39 36 76 32 www.trinitaridematha.it/ Fax +39 - 06 - 39 36 67 95 e-mail: [email protected] Description 3 minutes’ walk from the Vatican.

There are buses on the main street going to Vatican (one direction) or to Termini Station (opposite direction). Credit cards accepted. You take the train direct from Rome Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) Airport to Termini and then ‘H’ bus from the station. Get off the ‘H’ bus at its terminus (in Via Capasso) and walk across the street and down side street to it. If you choose this place I can send you a map I’ve made for people to find it. It is small but quaint! Its advantage over Regina Pacis (n° 6 below) is breakfast and no curfew. ‘H’ bus runs from 05.30 until midnight. There is also a bus service – 98 – from outside here direct to the Vatican. Prices vary between Low and High season.

No breakfast. This is the best-priced place I use. Disadvantage is that it has a strict curfew (11 pm). For breakfast, you must go across the street to a bar. Thus, not a place for young people or those who like to have a ‘night out’! It has buses right outside going to Vatican (one direction) or to Termini Station (opposite direction). You take the train direct from Rome Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) Airport to Termini and then ‘H’ bus from the station directly to front gate of Regina Pacis. It is the last stop before the bus terminus (in via Capasso) so if you miss it you have only to walk back two minutes to the gate. ‘H’ bus runs from 05.30 until midnight. There is also a bus service – 98 – from outside here direct to the Vatican. Prices Single: € 38 (2 nights minimum) Double: € 60 (first 3 nights, €58 additional nights) COLOSSEUM Bed & Breakfast Via Capo D’Africa, 59 00184 Roma Telephone +39 – 06 – 700 4623 www.bbrome.com Fax +39 – 06 – 7726 2895 e-mail: [email protected] Description This is close to the Coliseum and some people I know have used it and were very happy with it.

Hotels and Guest Houses The Hotels listed are ones I have had people stay in who expressed satisfaction with them or are a list I drew up to give people a range of hotels / prices to choose from. Some are close to Vatican, others are not. Some accept Credit Cards, some do not. Check exact prices when booking. When booking you are usually asked to send a Deposit to guarantee the room. Some hotels offer different prices with different agencies on web sites: www.hotelreservation.it http://rome.hotelguide.net/hl1te.htm www.hotel-invest.com HOTEL NAPOLOEON Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, 105 Rome 00185 Telephone +39 06 - 4467264 www.napoleon.it Fax +39 064467282 e-mail: [email protected] Description One of my recommendations for wedding groups. The Hotel is ‘old-style’ but beautiful and the staff are very friendly, most speaking English. There is a metro station directly in front of the hotel so it is good for access. It caters for wedding receptions also though I favour the use of some Restaurants. Check on their web site for special deals and for prices as they vary as well as check other accommodation providers who list them. Shop around on this one. Their own www is not always the best prices.
