    Hotel Raffaello if you can get a decent rate on it. Via Urbana near top of Via Cavour just 5 mins from train station. Quiet little street but lots of life nearby. 10 mins walk to Colosseum and Forum. Also a couple of Metro stops near enough so you can get across to Spanish Steps, Vatican etc.. Can give you some good eating places too. Above everything though, make sure you go to the Villa Borghese (my favourite place on the planet!!). Easy to book that on the internet in advance.

    Nicolas Inn.. Trip advisor No. 4 rated out of 575 B&B's in Rome..

    It's excellent, the owner is an American woman called Melissa who married an Italian bloke - they're really helpful..

    They arranged our taxi to and from the airport, we got breakfast in bed every morning, and they told us all the best restaurants, little hidden family run places where we had 5 course meals with 2 bottles of wine for only 60euro's a couple!

    It's on via cavour, (on the doorstep of the Forum and Colosseum and within easy walking distance of nearly all the major sites).

    Thanks to everyone for your suggestions - some of those hotels really

    sound the business, but I've opted for a B&amp;B close to Termini Station which is highly-rated on Trip Advisor and seems perfect for our needs. Thanks again.</p>
