In the quiet Prati area, this welcoming little hotel is one of several options in the same building. There are 10 traditional and warmly decorated rooms on the 4th-floor and a small breakfast room adjacent to the 1st-floor reception. The staff, some of whom speak English, are helpful and friendly.

Boutique style and bargain rates are rare bedfellows in central Rome. But that's what you get at this eye-catching newcomer. It has only 11 rooms, but they all sport a modern look with designer wallpaper, black wooden floorboards and funky, floral motifs. Free wi-fi access is available.

With its billiard table, pot plants and chessboard floor, this discreet four-star resembles a colonial club in the tropics. Housed in a 15th-century palazzo it has 31 rooms spread over two floors. No two are exactly the same but the style is classic so expect period furniture, parquet floors and wall-length curtains.

Near Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, this charming little hotel is a hidden pearl. It's a small place with only five tastefully decorated rooms, but the cracking location, friendly welcome, and dinky garden terrace make it a great choice.

Opposite the entrance to the Vatican Museums, this convent is a bargain. It's also popular so you'll need to book early if you want to snaffle one of the spotless rooms, all of which come with modern bathrooms and air-con.

A small two-star, the San Pietrino has 12 rooms beautifully decorated with cream walls, terracotta floors and tasteful dark wood furniture. The extras - TV and DVD player, ADSL internet connection - are unusual for a place in this category. Highly recommended.

The pick of the Vatican hotels, the Bramante is a model of effortless elegance. Tucked away in a side street behind St Peter's, it occupies the 16th-century building that was home to Swiss architect Domenico Fontana in 1575.

Six floors above busy Via Cola di Rienzo, Hotel Joli is just that. It's family-run, laid-back, a little tatty round the edges and popular. But what it's not is luxurious. Some of the modest rooms have ceiling fans, others have shower curtains and a few even have both.

|
An authentic old-fashioned pensione, the Hotel Lady is cosy and warm. All the rooms are slightly different and even if they're small they're pleasantly decorated with rustic furniture. The jolly owner and his wife don't speak English, but will merrily chat to you in Italian.

This isn't the cheapest convent in Rome, but it's certainly one of the best. Overlooking beautiful Piazza Farnese, it offers pleasant, no-frills room in a picturesque palazzo (where the Swedish St Brigid died in 1373) on one of Rome's great squares.

|
Overlooking the market square of San Cosimato (think noise), this modest, unpretentious hotel is one of Trastevere's few budget options. There's a bit of a run-down feel about the place but the rooms are large, clean, and fine for the money. The owner's a friendly guy, too.

Offering excellent value for money and a prime location near Trastevere's focal Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, the Cisterna has bright modest rooms with creamy yellow walls and unobtrusive furniture. Service is courteous and there's a small internal courtyard for early evening drinks.

|
Housed in a 17th-century Trastevere palazzo, this refined hotel opened in summer 2007. Decorated with verve, it retains a historical feel thanks to the wood-beamed ceilings, exposed brick arches and terracotta flooring. Rooms are comfortable and have plasma TVs, wi-fi and free internet access.
