If you don't mind monastic simplicity, tiny bathrooms with curtain-less showers, and a decor that begins and ends with the small crucifix nailed above the bed, this hospice just north of Piazza Navona run by a lay sisterhood may be the ticket.

The beds are firm, the tile floors kept next-to-godliness clean, and the price heavenly. Unlike some religiously-affiliated lodging around Rome, this one is refreshingly proselytizing-free (though it's always polite to be respectful of their deeply held beliefs).

The bad news: there's an 11pm curfew (but one sister confided to me that they might slip you a front door key if you stay for a week). They also offer excellent full, family-style dinners for a paltry €13 in the basement's communal dining room.

(Note: Do not confuse this with its sister property in Sacrofano, which is located way outside of Rome and does have a website.)
