Free Hotel WiFi in Budget Rome's Beehive

Hotel Maven Amanda K reports....

If you're looking for budget in Rome, The Beehive promotes itself as the "most stylish and contemporary of Rome's budget hotels and hostels". Not only is it relatively cheap (from €70 for a double private room--or just €20 for a bunk bed in a hostel room), it's also kinda cool.

Opened by an American couple in 1999, The Beehive is proud to use organic olive oil and recycled toilet paper, it has a yoga space and is strongly against culturally-cringy pub crawls and charging for internet access. In fact, the owners sum it all up kinda nicely themselves (just try and read through the necessary self-promotional overtones):

We pride ourselves on being a stylish, contemporary and ecologically minded budget hotel with impeccably kept facilities, knowledgeable, accommodating staff and an artistic sense of modern design at an affordable price.

The Beehive also has a handy location near one of Rome's main train stations, plus a resident cat, Igmar. What else does a budget hotel need?
