if you can't stand anymore staying in hostels paying way to much for the service they offer, consider staying in this budget hotel. I stayed here with my girlfriend a couple of weeks ago (May 2004) and I was quite pleased with the room (very clean, nice bathroom, very spacious), and their service (excellent staff, very good breakfast, maps and all the help you could need to get around in the city and enjoy your stay). I have to mention also the 24 hours reception, it is great if you want to go out and spend the night drinking some good italian wine without getting locked out like in most places!
