Abruzzi

Old-fashioned pensione -style relic. The rooms are large and clean and each has its own washbasin. Ask for a room that opens onto the dazzling view.
Albergo del Sole al Biscione

What some claim is Rome’s very first hotel. Its best feature is the roof terrace, affording the fine views. Rooms are basic, but the atmosphere is cosy. No breakfast.
Aldrovandi Residence

Outside the city centre, just beyond Villa Borghese in the Parioli district, full of greenery. The furnishings are handsome and the service deferential. Guests are welcome to use the pool of the Hotel Aldrovandi next door. Minimum one-week stay.
Alimandi

Close to the Vatican, recently remodelled with an attractive foyer and large rooms. Terraces and a roof garden are outstanding features for this price range. The staff are committed to quality service. On a fairly quiet shopping street, handy to public transport. Free cable TV and airport shuttle.
Apartment Rentals

Numerous services offer apartment rental. Prices vary depending on type, length of stay and number of people.
Atlante Star

Attentive service and a host of extras, such as free airport pick-up and Jacuzzis. The rooftop restaurant is famous for its panorama of St Peter’s.
B&B Agencies

For bed-and-breakfast accommodation in Rome, contact the B&B Association of Rome.
Bed & Breakfast Cicerone 28

This simple apartment near the Vatican is clean and quiet, since it’s on the top floor. The basic rooms come with en suite or shared baths, and there’s a breakfast room with a TV.
Bernini Bristol

This unprepossessing brick building faces Bernini’s Triton fountain (see Piazza Barberini). The decor is also uninspiring, but this marble-laden hotel is comfortable and has secretarial and other facilities. There’s a roof garden, and top rooms have fine views.
Best B&B

I stayed at this amazing little B&B in Rome last year. There are now two sites in the city, I stayed in the one just five minutes from the Vatican. From the outside and communal areas it looks like any large Italian apartment building with a central well and old fashioned lift. Once you step through the front door however, you enter a world of minimalist calm very unlike the average B&B. This is like staying in a hotel but without the steep prices. Clean, bright, comfortable rooms with smart bathrooms made a relaxing break from the traffic noise and tourists. An absolutely huge breakfast sets you up for the day and prepares you for the long queue to get into the Vatican. Thoroughly recommended.
