It was already late at night when we arrived in the lovely city of Rome. In fact, late enough that finding a decent but cheap accommodation was a bit impossible. Whatever happened to the advance booking? hmmm we actually had our hotel reservations cancelled a day or two before the travel time as our visas were only released at the last minute - just when our hopes were close to the bottom!
Anyways, got the visa. Flew in to Rome. Settled for a temporary hostel at the center of the city for 35 euro per head (about 175aed or 1900php) for 2 nights. Then transferred to this hotel - Hotel Zone. The rate? It was supposed to be only 77euro per room (cheap because it's quite off the center) as I can remember if booked online. However, when we got there, to our surprise, the rate was actually different for walk-ins! And, the difference was huge! It cost us 105euro instead!
So if you plan on travelling, I strongly advise you to book online and ahead if possible!
As for the hotel, the location wasn't a problem at all since they offer pick up and drop offs. The hitch would just be getting to the hotel the first time as not too many people know it.
So here are the photos of our room: Clean and comfy
Internet connection would be an additional charge of 11 euros for the 24hrs.
A bit out of the budget but Rome is such an expensive city that this was the price we actually had to pay for a bit of comfort after long walks and exhausting days.
