Hotels for the Cocoon GetTogether 2007
Rome is a very touristic place, so there are plenty of hotels around. *BUT* October is very very very high season, so book as soon as possible!
These are Hotels I (SimoneGianni) have personally contacted and visited. Table that follows gives prices in Euro for one night. Where we managed to have a special price, the "keyword" to use while booking is indicated.
Please note : hotels below 3 stars are quite ugly in Italy!

Best Western Rivoli and Hotel Villa Morgagni are probably the ones with better price/service ratio, also because we have special prices on both. The Rivoli is near the Bioparco, while the Villa Morgagni offers better rooms and services.
[GianugoRabellino]: Note that you might get a better deal by going to a travel site (Expedia, Travelocity, Lastminute) and choosing a flight+hotel package. This is expecially convenient is you plan to stay over the weekend as well. When choosing an hotel which is not in the above list, keep in mind the following:
- the conference location is within easy reach from downtown Rome, the metro station is "Piazza di Spagna" (Spanish Steps). Anything close to a metro line will do for you, and getting outside downtown Rome makes prices drop
- anything downtown will be just fine anyways
A cheaper interesting alternative can be renting an apartment, especially if you're traveling in a group and/or are willing to share: see GT2007Apartments for more details.
