We were very pleased with the Hotel Venezia situated 3 blocks from the Termini train station. After 2 weeks in Tuscany and a few days in Venice, we took the train to Rome for an overnighter before our flight home to Toronto. We have stayed in pricier hotels in Rome, but wanted something less expensive for this particular 1 night stay. This hotel is recommended in Karen Brown's Charming Bed & Breakfast book and everything that she said about it was true. It was well located, clean and the front desk service was excellent. I think we may have paid 150 Euros, I can't quite remember, but I would highly recommend it for your purposes.
