I looked and looked and couldn't find any decently prices accommodations in Rome that fit into my budget. I'd splurged in Florence so I need to keep this just a bit cheaper.
Found Residenza A through the hotels-by.com site and then through its own site.
It seems like someone with half a floor decided to turn it into a little hotel. With just 7 rooms, there's not a lot of personal service, but what is there is pretty nice. The breakfast comes up form Cafe Strega downstairs if you order it in time, or you can go down and eat outside. Either one is great. Each room has an iMac, so you can look stuff up and while the rooms aren't big, they're fairly nice, with decent amenities.
They'll also make reservations for you to go to Galleria Borghese and get the tix for you, which is GREAT.
Unfortunately, the bad news is you're right down from teh US Embassy in a not necessarily night-life friendly area of Via Veneto, so you will have to take a train or a bus to get anywhere. Also, one of the lines that goes nearby (Barberini, I think) is closed till 09, so if you take the underground to go somewhere, make sure you know how to get back by bus if you go back after 9. My husband and I had a weird trip on a bus out to some bad 'burbs when getting lost on the way back from Termini one night.
Anyway, Residenza A is nice. I'll probably stay somewhere else next time I go to Rome, just so I can see another area, but for business travelers, or people who want to spend a lot of time in the Villa Borghese, it's a great bet.
