Any advice on a hotel in Rome (cruise, rent, Paris)

[Allwyna]

I am going on a cruise that will arrive in Rome (Italy).

I will stay 2 nights there, I would like to be in the center to get most of the city without losing time in transports. I want an inexpensive (no need for luxury) but clean room, maybe a B&B, not in a noisy place.

I will go to some sites of course, but would anyone have a recommendation? That would help a lot.

Thanks.

Have you considered a convent? I have a great book called Bed and Blessings.
I stayed at:
Nostra Singora di Lourdes
Via Sistina 113

It's at the top of the Spanish Steps.

Great location, reasonable price included breakfast.
Safe, no one messes with nuns.
I believe there's a 10 or 11 pm curfew.

There's another thread that gives some other convent information.
Enjoy!

thanks a lot .... not yet, but I will. I will check on this one, I would need to be very close to the Termini, since I will arrive there... and will leave from there to Paris, although I know that's not (as in every town in the world) the best area.

I will carry heavy luggage... more when I leave, I am planning on buying some books, chianti, shoes

I stayed at a decent hotel last year not too far from the termini.
Notti A Roma, right near Repubblica Metro, not far from Termini.
Booking.com: hotel Notti A Roma, Rome, Italy - 303 Guest reviews. Book your hotel now!

I thought it was a great location.

Wow.... not surprising! We are not talking about the same class (5*), same prices (depending on the sites, 440 euros/night and up, I said "inexpensive" ), nor really 3 minutes (with heavy luggage, even with 4 wheels) from Termini, it is farther from Republica. And in fact, it is fully booked.

After a long search (most hotels are fully booked - or so they say, since cancellation is free, so I imagine many clients book at several places), I finally booked from booking.com a room at the Domus Praetoria, for 90 euros a night, breakfast included, AC, which seems quiet and has a good rating on every site (Tripadvisor, Venere etc...).

Thanks for your help, you gave me many ideas.... I still can continue... since cancellation is free .

Rent an apartment, far more common in Italy than hotels. We did just that and loved the location. Check out Sleep in Italy.
