due to the lack of tourists
hotel prices dropped and are still dropping
pls go to www.octopus.com and try to find there
the prices you need.
also www.expedia.it or www.hotels.com
will give you plenty of special offers.
to give you an example
normally you have to wait hours out of the Uffizi
gallery ( unless you book a ticket in advance for a
fixed time )
in august.. that is peak time for tourists..
the waiting time was no more than 30 minutes.
I also had a double room in rome in a 4 stars hotels for 68 eur
It is unbeliavable..
but also in rome tourists were disappointingly less than usual.
eur/night including breakfast..
