Comfy (if cramped) digs near party central

The Hotel Campo de' Fiori, in Rome, Italy

Hotel Campo de' Fiori (Tiber Bend)
The location is primo: just off Campo de' Fiori, though since that has become one of Rome's top nightspots (lined by bars, pubs, vinerie, and late-night pizza parlors) the streets can stay noisy until quite late—like 2am—so be sure to request a room off the front. However, your opinion of how great a hotel it is depends largely on which room you snag.

Don't be afraid to ask to see several rooms, as some are blandly modern and carpeted while others sport brick arches and rustic wood-beam ceilings. Most are big enough, but there are a few cramped quarters barely big enough to fit the bed. I'm partial to room 602 for its views across the domes and rooftops of Rome. No worries: everyone can enjoy the panorama from a communal roof terrace.

The owners also rent ten apartments scattered around this hip and happning neighborhood—all with kitchens and some with TVs but no phones—for longer stays and up to seven people.

Via del Biscione 6, just off the northeast corner of Campo de' Fiori.
