1-star rates, 3-star comfort

The Hotel Fenincia, near Termini train station in Rome, Italy

Hotel Fenicia

(Termini)

A gem of a hotel amid a slew of budget dives, offering one-star prices for three-star comfort—including TV and A/C (which costs a bit extra to turn on). Spanking new modular units and firm beds rest on modern parquet floors. The bathrooms are (for Rome) remarkably spacious.

The hotel is spread across three elevatorless floors: the first (standard rooms), second (classiest digs), and fourth (older, and generally smaller, rooms—except nos. 18 and 20, which are big and newly refurbished and have tiny balconies). Why do I like them? Most cheap hotels yell at you if you attempt to do some laundry in the sink; the Fenicia provides retractable clotheslines in the baths.

Via Milazzo 20, two blocks north of Termini rail station.
