Lonely Planet review

Built on top of a theatre that Pompey constructed in 55 BC (now the basement breakfast room), this family-run hotel is small and atmospheric. Particularly attractive are the rooms on the 3rd floor with sloping wood-beamed ceilings, terracotta floor tiles and tasteful, dark wood furniture.

It's one thing to breakfast overlooking ancient ruins, it's quite another to sip a cappuccino whilst sitting in an ancient Roman theatre. But that's just what you do at this delightful hotel, not even a soliloquy away from Campo de' Fiori. Go down the stairs at the back of the bar to the low barrel-vaulted grey-brick halls beneath and you're literally walking back in time. Upstairs, the 12 spacious rooms are more modern and more comfortable - six look out onto the street, six overlook an internal courtyard. The former enjoy a better view but the latter are much quieter and, in this neck of the woods, noise can be a problem. Staff are friendly and efficient, although even they are helpless to stop the racket of drunken revellers.
