Where to Stay in Rome Italy

Where to Stay in Rome?


In the two times I’ve been to Rome, we stayed at the Best Western Hotel Spring House.  While it’s probably not a multi-starred hotel, it certainly is “SULIT!” as we Filipinos would say.
 
It’s budget friendly with rooms at only 80 EURO per night.  While the room and the shower area is small, it’s more than adequate for the average asian built.  (It ‘s probably  a little cramped for people with bigger builts.)

Here’s my little space of the room which I believe was meant for kids sharing a room with their parents.  The double bed area was more spacious.

Rome at Night!



Well one blog post certainly wasn't gonna be enough to showcase the beauty of Rome at night time.  Here are more pictures taken during our first night in Rome, Italy.  I am simply in love with this country.

When in Rome, you might want to join the Free tour being offered by NEW ROME FREE TOURS.  Just meet the guide at the right side of the Spanish Steps everyday at 5:30pm.  If you liked the tour, be kind enough to give a the guide a generous tip in return.



The majestic TREVI FOUNTAIN.  Throw in one coin to get a chance to come back to Rome.  Two coins if you wanna get married.  And three coins if you want to make another wish.

Buona Notte Roma! (Night time in Rome, Italy)


The first time I was in Rome, I took the morning tours to see Ancient Rome and all the piazzas and fountains.  So this time around, on my second visit, my only wish was to see Rome at night.  While the cold winter weather made it harder to walk around the city during night time, the spectacular night scenes were enough to warm our bodies encouraging us to continue walking. 

At night, Rome transforms into something else.  She’s definitely more romantic and beautiful after the sun has set and the city lights start to illuminate the sky.


Probably the most well known fountain in the world: the Trevi Fountain!

Dubai International Airport (Day 1)

Dubai International Airport

Spent four hours at the Dubai International Airport before our flight to Rome.  Definitely one of those airports you wouldn’t mind spending a few hours waiting.

Duty free shops, coffee shops, and restaurants abound and are open 24 hours.  The space was big and clean.  It even had an indoor garden to relax the minds of tense travelers.

Flying Emirates (Day 1)

Four years later I'm back on a long haul flight bound for Europe!  We flew with Emirates to Dubai, had a 4 hour lay over there, and then took the flight from Dubai (DXB) to Leonardo da Vinci Airport (FCO) in Rome!  All in all it took us around 19 hours to get to our destination.  Travelling seems to fit one of those joys in life where in one has to go through hardships first before reaping the rewards.  For my back's sake, I'm certainly hoping so!  Definitely looking forward to enjoying this trip!  

Will we live to see the time come when the other side of the world will only be an hour or even just minutes away from us?  It shouldn't be that far away.

Merry Christmas


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Using my new Kindle Fire and an app called Go Go Kiddo, I was able to make these holdiay greeting cards!  It's very simple.  All you have to do is drag, drop, and pinch! (^o^)/ (I wonder how Apple officially calls that pinching action to zoom in or zoom out of picture in touch screens.)  Now, it's so easy to be creative! More greeting cards after the jump.
