Cultural Institutes in Rome
Often Recommended Hotels in Rome, Especially for the Budget-Challenged
This is a modest list of hotels that seem to show up on lists of relatively inexpensive choices in Rome. This is not an endorsement; caveat emptor tutti.
- Hotel Albergo del Sole Via Del Biscione,76 00186 Roma, Phone: 0668806873, Fax: 066893787, E-mail: info@solealbiscione.it, Website: http://www.solealbiscione.it) (Watch out because there is another much more expensive hotel of the same name near the Pantheon) In the Campo de'Fiori.
Hotel Arenula. Via S. Maria dei Calderari, 47 - 00186 Roma - Tel. 06.6879454 - Fax 06.6896188. Web site is splashy but not very informative. - Sabbaticalhomes.com "is the leading worldwide internet-based directory for home exchange, temporary housing, furnished homes, home rentals and tenant listing opportunities devoted to serving the academic community." Never used by the editor, but seems to have a good reputation.
- I could use some more suggestions.
