In Florence, I could recommend the Hotel Cellai:

We just came back from a week in Rome, where we stayed at the
moderately priced, 3-star, Hotel Archemede. It's very clean,
elevators, hot water, TV (though not satelite), breakfast buffet
included (continental breakfast, nothing to get excited about, but
acceptable). It's also nice and centrally located, very close to
termini station.

I too would like to know of reasonable priced hotels in not only Rome
but other popular cities as well. I have found that sence the change
oto the Euro. Prices have gone up quite a bit. the last time I went to
Rome about two years ago, I paid 100 Euro for a double which was a 3
star hotle and not much more above the rating of a cracker box. And
Pisa wasn't much different. I live in Germany and traveling around
here one can find very nice accomadations reasonably priced.

So to get back to the origanal Question What is moderately Priced??
Please give a figure. To some it could be 200 Euro and others 75 Euro.

Thanks Chuck

I don't know that hotel at all, but I wouldn't call
anythingcvlose to Stazione Termini "centrally located." To me,
being centrally located located is the most important
characteristic of a hotel, and for that reason, I'd personally
rule out anything close to Termini, no matter how good and how
reasonable the price.

Check out the Nuova Italia <http://nuovaitalia.hotelinfirenze.com/>.
We had a very nice stay there -- it was as advertised.
