Just yesterday I received the information about the hotel I will be staying at in Rome with the Rick Steves tour for Christmas 2007.
I will be staying at the Hotel Aberdeen and being a "good little travel addict" the first thing I did with this hotel information...log onto Trip Advisor and check to see what the reviews are for this hotel.
And let me tell you....I was one happy girl. Now I know you have to sometimes take these Trip Advisor reviews with a grain of salt...but there were 101 reviews and most all of them good. In fact the ones that did indicate slight dissatisfaction were for things like the room being too small...HELLO...this is Europe...and a city....you have to expect small...another cited it was very noisey...mostly street noise and could sometimes hear other guests walking down the hall. But that is all subjective stuff anyway.
The important stuff...in my opinion anyway...was clean, safe, decent breakfast and friendly/helpful staff...that's what's important to me. In all the reviews I read these items got really high praise...YIPEE. Another thing that is VERY important is LOCATION and this place has it...a 20 minute walk from the Termini train station, Metro a block away and a bus stop on the corner. The one other thing that is also important for me is the price and from what I have read this place is a really good deal. This is good news to me because I plan to arrive in Rome a couple days before the tour starts and would like to stay in this hotel so I don't have to go between 2 hotels.
It certainly seems like both my Turkey and Italy trip plans are really starting to take off!
Ciao!
