2 of us looking to go April 5th - 10th. On a student budget so hoping to get the hotel for under £350 (for both of us), preferably somewhere central for doing the touristy bit.

Considering The Jolly Hotel Villa Carpegna which is £365, or the Budget B&B (nice name ) for €500 = £335. Anyone stayed at either of those?

Also a recommendation for online or book travel guide to Rome would be very useful.

Cheers,

Ben

That would be much appreciated OllyK, cheers.

Found a couple of other options, Sergio House, Cristina House, Michelangelo Palace, or Hotel Delle Muse, any experience of those anyone?

Any must dos while we're there?

Last stayed here:

and it was OK, near the Vatican, not too expensive and pretty funky. I'd consider staying there again.
