Tell you what...

If you send me along with a few thousand dollars of spending money, I promise to do a thorough job of scouting around for you. Deal?

I commute to Italy once every month or two for work and know a lot of hotels in Rome. A reccomendation depends what type of accomadation you're looking for, though: luxury, B&B, Pensione, no-frills, ect., ect.?

Also, what's your budget for nightly accomadation?

Have your folks been to Italy before, by the way? Rome is big time fun, but pretty hectic and full of pick pockets lol

They are both in their early sixties and have not been to Rome before.Price range would be around 100Euro per night.Some place that would be a good central point in Rome to see the sights(Vatican,Collosium,Museums etc., have not been to Rome myself).They wouldn't be too adventurous and would like a area with some nice restaurants close by if possible and not too overpriced.

What comes immediately to mind for about 105 euro per night is

Hotel Antico Palazzo Rospigliosi

+ (39 06) 489.30495

http://www.hotelrospigliosi.com


it's only 11 miles from the international airport and about 5 blocks from the train station...and reasonable walking distance from Santa Maria Basilica, The Spanish steps, The Roman Forum, The Colosseumm and close to shopping on Via Vennetta. More later..!

This is working out at E155 a night which is a little above my budget.(29,30,31 March).Thanks for the help though,much appreciated.If you can think of others it would be great.
