In-Depth Information
Alongside the hundreds of traditional B&Bs (private homes offering a room or two to
paying guests), Rome has a large number of boutique-style B&Bs and guesthouses that of-
fer chic, designer accommodation at mid- to top-end prices. The following agencies all of-
fer online booking services:
Bed & Breakfast Association of Rome ( www.b-b.rm.it ) Lists B&Bs and short-term apartment
rentals.
Bed & Breakfast Italia ( www.bbitalia.it ) Rome's longest-established B&B network.
Cross Pollinate ( www.cross-pollinate.com ) Has B&Bs, private apartments and guesthouses.
Rome's hostels cater to everyone from backpackers to budget-minded families. Many
hostels offer traditional dorms as well as hotel-style rooms (singles, doubles, even family
rooms) with private bathrooms. For information on Rome's official HI hostels, contact the
Italian Youth Hostel Association OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP (Associazione Italiana Alberghi per la
Gioventù; 06 487 11 52; www.aighostels.com ; Via Cavour 44) .
Unsurprisingly, Rome is well furnished with religious institutions, many of which offer
cheap(-ish) rooms. But bear in mind that many impose curfews and that the accommoda-
tion, while spotlessly clean, tends to be basic. For a list of institutions, check out

For longer stays, renting an apartment might well work out cheaper than an extended
hotel sojourn. Bank on spending about €900 per month for a studio apartment or a small
one-bedroom place. Useful rental resources:
