Hotel in Rome
"Ken Blake" wrote in message ... On Sat, 21 May 2011 17:46:03 -0500, "Jean O'Boyle" but far too extravagant for a family of three. It has to be more reasonable than that... OK. It's far too expensive for me too. But your original question said nothing about price. All you asked for was "a nice hotel," so I recommended what I think is among the nicest in that area. I would not even think of suggesting this to them. Where would you stay if it were your first stay in Rome? First stay or any stay, I prefer to stay somewhere near the Piazza Navona. It's much more centrally located with respect to the places most tourists want to go to. The Spanish Steps are close to the northern edge of what I consider to be the main tourist part of Rome (Piazza del Popolo in the north, Circo Massimo in the south, Coliseum in the east, and San Pietro in the west. -- Ken Blake Using common sense, I would not have told you Waldorf-Astoria had you asked for a nice hotel in NYC. A nice hotel does not have to be an ultra luxury hotel. These are middle class people who are not extremely wealthy. If they were, they would already be aware of such hotels and not depending on someone else's advice as to where to stay. --Jean |

TIA, --Jean A big thank you to all who took my request seriously. I have printed out all the suggestions and advice given here and will send them on to my friend. Hopefully one of the hotels will be exactly what they are looking for during their three days in Rome. Thanks again, --Jean |

They will likely be walking right past these unmarked sites/areas on their visit. http://www.fodors.com/community/euro...lking-tour.cfm They will I assume visit St. Peter's/Vatican? This is a *very limited* underground tour that must be booked in advance. I'm an Atheist but looking at all the evidence I do believe this is almost definitely St. Peter's tomb with a very high possibility that they are his remains (bones). http://www.fodors.com/community/euro...es-history.cfm Half finished, detailed but it gives an overview of the Forum. http://www.fodors.com/community/euro...lking-tour.cfm Regards, Walter ...And Paradise Was Lost...like teardrops in the rain... |
