Lonely Planet Review
A cracking three-star in a prime location, Teatropace 33 is a real find. Housed in a 17th-century cardinal's residence near Piazza Navona, it offers 23 tasteful, timber-beamed rooms spread over four floors. There's no lift, just a monumental stone staircase - a sight in itself. Friendly staff add to the charm.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the baroque, peach-coloured staircase which winds its imperious way up to the elegant, high-ceilinged rooms. These have been decked out with stylish restraint - think parquet floors, damask curtains, and polished wood furniture. En-suite bathrooms are clad in gleaming mottled-marble. Thick 17th-century walls ensure a good night's sleep, something that is not always guaranteed in Rome's buzzing centre. If sleep is not on your agenda, you don't have to go far to find the action - Piazza Navona is nearby, the Pantheon is a short walk away, and there are any number of pizzerie and wine bars on your doorstep. Hotel extras include a kettle in each room, air-con, and an internet point.

How To Get There
There is an express train service every 30 minutes to Rome's Termini train station (journey time 30 minutes). A single ticket costs around 10 EUR. The hotel is three kilometres from the station, or guests can take the metro line A to Station Spagna, 1.5 kilometres away. Taxis are readily available at the airport, but take a licensed metered taxi only. An airport surcharge is payable. A taxi to the hotel will cost 45-60 EUR. Alternatively the hotel offers airport transport for a fee. Rome's efficient integrated transportation system includes buses, trams, subway (metro) and suburban trains. Tickets should be bought before boarding and are available from ATAC ticket machines and all tobacconists. The city centre is easily negotiated on foot. Traffic in Rome is often busy and chaotic so driving is not generally recommended.
