The Hotel Parlamento, in Rome, Italy

Hotel Parlamento (Spanish Steps)
The Parlamento has long offered that Holy Grail of hostelries: four-star class at two-star prices. It's sandwiched between the Corso (Rome's main drag) and Piazza San Silvestro (a major city bus terminus), but don’t be put off by the heavy street traffic. The hotel went ahead and installed double sets of double-glazed windows, which are pretty effective in dampening the noise.

It's also a primo location, bang in the center of the Tiber Bend area. Pick any direction to walk from the front door and within ten minutes, fifteen tops, you'll come to some major sight: the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Piazza Venezia, Via Veneto, or Augustus' Maosoleum.

The staff takes it professionalism seriously. The rooms are furnished in a combo of antiques and reproductions, the firm beds backed by carved wood or wrought-iron headboards. The trompe-l'oeil'ed breakfast room is lovely, or you can carry your cappuccino to the small roof terrace with a view of San Silvestro's bell tower. Though the terrace can be shared by all guests, there is a trio of rooms that open right onto it; they have Jacuzzi tubs and cost a bit extra.

Via delle Convertite 5 (at the intersection with Via del Corso, near Piazza San Silvestro).
