Antico Albergo del Sole al Pantheon This hotel has it all. Perfect location, comfortable, clean, well-maintained rooms, good food and attentive staff. We have stayed in many hotels in Rome, and this is definitely the best. Location – Literally, across the square from the Pantheon, with practically all the sites you would want to see withing walking distance. We are both in our mid seventies and we had no trouble walking to the Colosseum, the Forum, the Domus Aurea, the Vatican, Santa Maria Maggiore, the Ara Pacis, Castello Sant Angelo, the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain ,all the major shopping areas and many others. For the less energetic, Argentina metro is five minutes walk away. Room – We had a junior suite, which was spacious, comfortable and clean, with everything that you would want. It was also surprisingly quiet. The wifi was free, as it should be, but rather idiosyncratic. You had to switch the television on and scan a barcode from the screen to log in, but once you had done that it worked very well. The only criticism would be that the drains tended to smell at night. We mentioned this to the manager, who was very good about it, and may well have had it fixed by now. Food – Breakfast is the only meal served, and room service is free if you want it in bed. The buffet is well-worth getting up for, however, with a good selection of cereals (with extra nuts and dried fruit to add), scrambled eggs, bacon and hot vegetables, together with an array of cold meats and cheeses, breads etc, fruit, yoghourt, and the usual vast Italian choice of cakes. At the moment you are not allowed to serve yourself, because of Covid, but the staff delivered an excellent service with very little waiting. Staff – All, without exception, were extremely friendly, helpful and attentive without being in any way obtrusive. Perfect! Overall Verdict – Would recommend to anyone. We are already saving up to go back next year.
