Located just off the Via Arenula between the Campo de' Fiori and Piazza Venezia, the two-star Hotel Arenula provides moderately priced, basic accommodation in the Centro Historico. Double rooms with private facilities go for €130 in high season, including breakfast. Given this location, that's a deal.
The four-story Arenula, built as a residence during the 19th century, doesn't have an elevator. In its place, the hotel has a sweeping marble staircase. For those who can manage a hearty trek upstairs, the "classical" concrete statuettes along the banister provide a good chuckle. (Plus, rooms on the upper floors have some spectacular neighborhood views, particularly the corner rooms on the third and fourth floors.
Rooms are acceptable and clean with white linoleum floors, floral drapes, simple furnishings, and air-conditioning. Bathrooms are tidy and all equipped with showers.
