This is a hostel, somewhat away from the tourist areas but still within easy walking distance of the sights. One of the main attractions was the free breakfast and dinner, with free wine, as well as free internet access. This forces the residents to mingle and make friends and creates a brilliant communal spirit. It is also very colourfully decorated, with decent bunk beds and big lockers (which is useful for backpackers). When I went it was almost entirely filled with Americans, whether that is a good or bad thing is up to you.

It is about 5 minutes from Termini station, on Via Principe Amadeo (I think). Details can be found on hostelbookers.com.

This was one of my favourite bars whilst a student at King's College. It is more commonly known (and easily pronounced) as 'the Polish Bar', in fact it says so in big letters on the window! It is very small and serves Polish beer and a huge variety of top quality flavoured vodka (an idea Revolution seems to have nicked). The size and back-street location make it feel like a secret, invitation-only society for connoisseurs, and a lot more welcoming than similar 'cool' bars. I actually feel quite guilty for revealing it!

Nearest Tube: Holborn.
It is in a narrow back street behind Holborn station. It's hard to find but I think the easiest way is to take the first right off High Holborn, around Pret a Manger then follow the lane around, bearing right.
