Outside is one of Rome's busiest, most central streets, but not a sound filters into the interior of this elegant establishment, where windows and even doors are soundproof. The lobby is fetchingly accented by two statues of goddesses, while an Empire-style sofa and Baroque mirror set a stylish tone. In guest rooms, pretty damask curtains, high ceilings, and new, firm beds are a pleasure. The intimate lounges and charming bar -- very cozy and pretty with its floral fabric and wood bar -- follow the same decorating scheme, as does the breakfast room, where a generous buffet is laid in the morning, complete with free newspapers. Discounted rates can be a good deal, so be sure to ask. The friendly, creative management is always coming up with new offers, including the "Family Perfect" room, which includes a Playstation, a DVD player with Disney movies, and wooden blocks for small children to play with.
