Using www.cheaperthanhotels.co.uk, I found 14 cheap hotels in Rome, hotels listed under $100. I was enchanted by the allure of Il Castelletto Hotel Rome in Aurelio ($61), about a 10 minute drive to the Vatican. It is located in an early 9th century villa which has been recently rebuilt. Can’tyou just feel the history, the atmosphere? Il Granaio Di Santa Prassede Hotel Rome ($78) is a charming, simple, and cozy hotel conveniently located in the heart of Rome and a few steps from the Spanish Steps. Also close by is the Via Veneto, Via Condotte and the world’s greatest fashion industry.
