The 939 (known until its 2008 renovation as the "Hotel Marcus") is handily one of Rome's best upper-end budget hotels—a smartly updated pensione in an 18th-century palazzo with high ceilings and the odd marble fireplace (in larger, slightly pricier rooms) to give it character.
It's that perfect inexpensive hotel that focuses on the important things: Salvatore and his wife are friendly as can be, the beds are new and firm, the bathrooms are decent, and there is the occasional touch of class, such as art deco lights, Persian rugs on patterned tile floors, or the odd antique furnishing.
It’s particularly well fitted to welcome small families, as the larger rooms have futon chairs that can sleep a third person.
Though it keeps the rates for a double room to an admirably low €89–€99 much of the year, the summer high season can see prices creep up to €116–€159.
