The balcony at Hotel ColorsThe folks who founded (but no longer run) Fawlty Towers now operate this fifth-floor walk-up near Vatican City (along with an excellent local travel agent/tour company called Enjoy Rome, www.enjoyrome.com). I stayed here with my Boy Scout troop for a week one summer; worked out great.

It's in the residential Prati neighborhood, about three blocks from Castel Sant'Angelo, eight blocks from Piazza San Pietro (and hence St. Peter's Basilica), and ten blocks from the entrance to the Vatican Museums.

The simple, spacious rooms are vibrant in a supersaturated, whimsical, accident-at-the-Crayola-factory way. Only one room is shared dorm-style, and the largely young backpacking clientele tend to be of a more reserved, mature stripe.

The washer/dryer available to guests costs less than a Laundromat.

You can put the communal kitchen and small shared terrace to good use since the hotel's located just a few hundred yards from some of the best food shopping in Rome—indoor and outdoor markets a few blocks north, plus on Via Cola di Rienzo two renowned grocers: Franchi (the top spot in Rome for fresh calzoni around 5pm) and Castroni (unique boutique grocery store).

They also rent an apartment near Termini.
