Book NowAlbergo del Sole al Pantheon Review
Grandly situated directly opposite the immortal portico of the Pantheon, this place is in the running as a candidate for the world's oldest hotel. Welcoming the great ever since it opened in 1467, the Albergo del Sole al Pantheon has hosted Frederick III, Ariosto, Cagliostro, and Pietro Mascagni (who came here to celebrate the opening night of his opera, Cavalleria Rusticana). Needless to say, the hotel has been renovated many times over and most vestiges of the distant past are long gone. The good news is that the refurbishment has been done in high style: artfully placed columns, Rococo windows, renaissance-style beds, high ceilings, and terra-cotta floors all lend a certain authenticity to your stay. Obviously, specify if you want a room with a view over the Pantheon; with it, you'll also get the din of the piazza's gorgeous caffè scene, but double-glaze windows work their magic.

BookDoc, from Texas
The location is perfect, but the security is terrible. The third day we were there, a large amount of cash was stolen out of the safe in our room. We reported it when we discovered it on Saturday morning, and the staff told us that the manager would not speak to us until Monday, because weekends are his days off. When we spoke with him Monday morning, he had not even bothered to read the police report we had filed. He basically told us it was impossible because all of his staff are too honest and nothing like it has ever happened before. He said he would file a claim with his insurance, but only after we left the country on Thursday, and then we would have to wait another 30-45 days to maybe hear something about it. It was a horrible experience for us, and the manager was not helpful at all. One staff member actually laughed about it. It is pretty safe to assume we will not be getting our money back. So again, do not stay there. This was a very expensive lesson for us to learn.
