All of these hotels have three things in common: They’re centrally located (near most of Rome’s sights), clean, and affordable—at least by Roman standards.

Prepare yourself. Hotels in Rome tend to be pretty pricey, especially in the late spring and early summer. Still, the city offers a host of small family-run pensions, budget-friendly one- and two-star hotels, and even some hostels worth considering. That's where we come in...

Getting Into Rome

Rome has two airports, both of which can be reached via a plethora of transportation options. For you, dear Cheapos, we cover each of these modes of transportation. We also offer a quick train station brief. You don't want to get off at the wrong station now, do you?

Getting Around Rome

Getting around Rome via public transportation can demand a little patience. But while the metro network is limited, buses blanket the city well. Happily, both networks accept the same tickets. We cover all this, plus taxis, in our Getting Around Rome article. Check it out!
