Hotels in Rome centre
Hi there
I am hoping to go to Rome in september and will be taking my mum. Although she is an active 75 I would like somewhere quite central to th sights if possible.
Never having been to Rome I don't know how 'big' it is and whether its feasible to have somewhere close to the colosseum, Trevi fountain etc Or whether Rome is a spread out city.
At the mo the trips are quite cheap so I would prefer 4* plus.
Any recommendations or, if not, an idea how I can search for said hotel?
Cheers

Rome is actually a fairly small city and it is possible to walk around and see most of the sights. There are also plenty of buses and taxis as it might not be so easy for someone of your Mother's age and it could get hot in September.
The streets, buses, tourist areas, etc. can get extremely busy and you have to be wary of beggars, pickpockets, etc.
Have a look on sites such as trip adviser, late rooms, etc. for guest feedback, availability, pricing, etc.

Thanks folks
Know what you mean about the expense. I love Venice but if you sit in St Marks Square with a coffee its quite expensive but if the band is playing at the time you pay even more!!
I had an impression that Rome was quite spreadout (ie larger than London) but the Hassler will defo be investigated.
Thanks folks!!

The Hassler is really lovely. We stayed there a few years ago. It was a bit pricey but well worth it. We didn't find Rome too expensive away from touristy areas, which are expensive anywhere in the world. Go up into side streets and you'll find the best places to eat and drink and not at all expensive. Wherever you stay, have a lovely time and watch out for the pickpockets.
