...I stumbled across The Pyramid Hotel whilst making a last minute booking for a two day break for my wife and I in December 2005 and we have just returned from our long-awaited sojourn. I chose the Pyramid because from the description supplied at www.alpharooms.com the hotel seemed to be close to a metro station which is generally a must when having a city break and it was also very cheap for one nights Bed & Breakfast. The hotel is officially listed ...
...station. From the outside, the hotel is relatively non-descript and if you did not have a vague idea of where to look you may miss the door. Once through the automatic door, you are immediately in a very small reception tastefully kitted out like every other two-star hotel I have ever visited (see my review of Abbot Lodge - Dublin for example). The hotel is so named after the strange pyramid up the road which was built by a Roman noble in 26BC as ... Read review

Advantages: Good Location, Great Service, Clean, Friendly, Convienant!
Disadvantages: Noisy road at night but where in Rome isn't!!!

...stay in Rome at the Domus Inn, and am extremely happy. Domus Inn is a great little bed and breakfast in a very good location. It might not be right next to the Colosseum but with an array of buses that stop around the corner taking you to several key locations in the city, its all you need, The service is incredibly friendly and your breakfast is brought to you every morning. On arrival a map was drawn on for us to aid our trip and amazing (affordable) ...
...that isn't in central rome! Domus Inn is located in an apartment building on the 5th floor, the elevator is a little sketchy (especially if like me you fear them) but the walk up the stairs is not unbearable. The Hotel is a short stroll from Villa Borghese which is a beautiful park, and you could walk to most of the main sights and the termini from the hotel if you wanted too, but with buses to The Vatican, Piazza Barberini (close to The Spanish ...

Advantages: great position beautiful building
Disadvantages: a bit pricey but worth it

We stayed for a long weekend in May. The hotel is a beautiful old building which goes back to about about 1850 . Its been completely renovated and has all the mod cons that you would expect in a 4 star hotel. The bedrooms are lovely. We had a double and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was included in the price and we had a lovely italian breakfast with rich creamy cappuccinos and italian cakes. the buffet was more on the sweet side but ... Read review

Disadvantages: None!

...is very fast and often wreckless and drivers do not always stop to let pedestrians cross the roads. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. The rooms were clean and air-conditioned and the atmosphere was very friendly. I would strongly recommend the Relais Vaticano hotel for short stays. ... Read review

Advantages: A must see in Rome
Disadvantages: It's only a fountain

Ah, the Trevi Fountain. Some would say that it's the most beautiful fountain in all of Rome. Well, I wouldn't know about that - not having visited all 7,000 of them. Ok, that's maybe an exagerration, but there are quite a few of the old fontanas dotted around the eternal city. One thing's for sure though, it's certainly an impressive site...or sight, even. You would think that such a world famous and much visited tourist attraction would be situated ...
...when you've arrived at the Trevi Fountain - the street sign and the appearance of a rather large cascade of sparkling aqua should give you a clue, but if that doesn't do it for you then the huddled masses and click'n'whirr of countless photographic implements will. Still not sure you're at a major tourist attraction? The hawkers and street vendors aggressively punting their 'high' quality tat should put you straight. There's quite a bit of history ...
