Rome isn't fixed by a good address. It's fixed by the right neighborhood — and the right neighborhood depends on who you are, how much you walk, and how many tourists you can stand outside the breakfast window.

First time in Rome: sleep in Centro Storico or Monti. Everything you want to see is walkable, and the night is worth the price.
Trastevere is the prettiest neighborhood for dinner and the most exhausting for a light sleeper — cobblestones, bars, and people until 2 a.m.
Testaccio is where Romans actually eat. Fewer hotels, more real food, and prices 20-30% below the center.
Prati is the safe bet: clean, residential, next to the Vatican, with a metro stop and no nighttime chaos.
The Termini zone has Rome's cheapest hotels for a reason. Stay west of the station (Monti/Esquilino are fine), never the streets to the east and southeast at night.
