Hotel Lawrence in Rome
Hi everyone,
I'm planning a trip to Rome later this year. I have come across this
Hotel Lawrence (http://www.hotel-lawrence-rome.com) in my search for
some budget accommodation.
Has anyone stayed here before ?
thanks !

I've never stayed there, and never even heard of it before, but I
just went to their web site.
It looks like it's probably OK, but it wouldn't be my choice, and
that's because of its location. Their web site keeps stressing
the importance of having a central location, and I do too--but
this isn't it. It's near the train station. You'll probably get
messages here telling you that being near the train station is
dangerous. I don't really think it's dangerous, but it's not a
particularly nice part of Rome, and it's not very central at all.
I would choose other areas, like the Campo de Fiore, Piazza
Navona, or Pantheon.

Thanks Ken ! I figured that much as well. The place looks really nice
but I have seen long threads in this newsground discussing the less
than pleasant aspects of staying near Termini.

Re: Hotel Lawrence in Rome
Chris, I agree with Ken. Rome is a really fun city, and even at its
best, the area around Termini isn't that much fun.
If you can, get some of the good guide books that feature budget
accomodations in Rome, including, but not limited to, Great Sleeps in
Italy; Hello Italy; and Frommer's Italy on $70 a Day (unless the 70 has
gone up!). These list hotels in various parts of Rome that you may find
acceptable.
