The Blue Guide, Italy
"Monasteries and convents in Rome are an excellent option for good-value accommodation in the city, particularly as some of the buildings are located in central positions that rival many hotels. Each property is individually run, and all offer clean, basic accommodation, many with private bathrooms. Monastery Stays offer an online booking service."
