rome dilema

conan doyle

Hi All,

i've booked flights to Rome for mid March, just a four day break but I'm having great difficulties finding a hotel. It's just my friend and myself going and I've been warned by loads of people not to stay near Termini Station as it's pretty seedy for two women on their own. I've seen a hotel Rezidencia Riparti which looks ok, any one stayed there?
I've been to Rome before and made the big mistake of staying too far outside which meant having to travel to get in to Rome and not being able to experience the restaurant and bar scene of Rome at night as we had to travel back to the hotel so which meant leaving Rome pretty early.
I'm getting pretty frustrated now trying to find a decent hotel any help would be great. Looking for somewhere that is clean and safe. As I said any info very welcome.
Thanks

Pythia

What's your budget?

Hoping to spend up to 450 for two people for 4 nights. I think that' a fair amount and hope it will get us somewhere half decent.

i stayed near the trevi fountain, great spot very close to "tourist" spots so its very busy at night so nice and safe to stay out late, lots of places to eat and go out and in walking distance of basically the whole of Rome

Around the Trevi fountain sounds just right. Any chance you remember the name of your hotel?

just found it!
for 4 nights in march your looking at around €400 which isnt at all bad.

its in a good spot there is a underground just around the corner.
its down a quite side street beside one of the main streets.
less than 5mins walk from the fountain, about 10 mins walk to Spanish steps.

hotel is nice, nothing fancy but it was clean and quiet when we were there, decent size room and the staff were very friendly

I've stayed in http://www.hotelastrid.com/, it's a little bit from center, but on a frequent tram to the Popolo end of Via del Corso.

It's a nice safe area, and some rooms have a little balcony. breakfast room had lovely via over the area

Stayed in it last year for a wedding for 4 days. Really enjoyed it. Great location in the middle of town. Really nice hotel. Could not fault it.
Have been to Rome a good few times staying in various hotels and this one really impressed. Would stay again with out hesitation.
