Just back from a fantastic trip to Rome. The Lt Rooms was a great place to stay, about 15mins walk to the Vatican, and only a few minutes to the nearest metro station. The rooms were spotlessly clean, the staff very helpful and friendly and was very good value for money. We loved the fact that the little kitchen was open for us to use 24hrs per day (much cheaper than buying coffee whilst out and about in Rome) and we could help ourselves to the breakfast (basic cereal, pastry, juice, tea and coffee) when we felt like we were ready for it. Was a little surprised that some of the other guests couldn't bring themselves to wash up their own breakfast cups and bowls (hence blocking others use of the sink), but I guess some people refuse to do anything when they are on holiday!
The metro was very cheap to use (we got a three day travel card for bus/metro for 11euros) but do bring a good pair of walking shoes because most of the sights are actually a little walk away from the metro stops.
If you are on a budget, avoid eating and drinking in the centre (we were stung for 2 cappachinos outside the Pantheon, for 10euro!). Trastevere is a lovely place to eat out in (very authentic) as was the Jewish Ghetto quarter (for something a bit different). We also had a very nice meal in the restaurant downstairs from Lt rooms. A set menu (of numerous dishes, plus wine and soft drinks) for a fixed price of 35euro each. Food was excellent, but if we had known that we would be eating 4 or 5 courses and at least 10 antipasto dishes, we would have starved ourselves for at least two days before attempting to eat there!).
One more tip, if you stay at this hotel and are arriving at the Ciampino airport - walk out of departures, turn right and head for the little bus stop outside the security gates. You can get a bus for 1euro to Anagnina (end of metro line) bus station and then get the metro (A line) to Baldo Degli Baldi (takes about 50mins) for 1euro. Much cheaper than the shuttle buses to Termini from the airport, and you end up only a few minutes walk from the hotel.
