Subject: Re: New Romania member planning Rome trip
Hello, Elda:

Welcome to TheTravelzine!

My best suggestion for you as a traveler headed to Rome looking for budget accommodation is to join Hosteling International, the organization of a network of hostels around the world. It is for travelers of all ages & is a great way to meet like-minded people. The accommodations are reasonably priced & most hostels also offer day tours. Hosteling International membership offers a discount on accommodation costs & other traveler benefits.

Rome's hostels are very popular & if your dates are firm, it's a good idea to make an advance reservation. The website can help you with this process.
