Hi
We stayed there in January 2005. Excellent location. We enjoy walking and we walked to the Spanish Steps, the Vatican. Colliseum, the Jewish quarter etc. The room we had was small, though we would stay there again, only want a larger room. Buffet bkfst was very good. Across from the Pantheon. couldn't ask for better.

Thank you aeiger. Unfortunately, Santa Chiara had only a double room with an extra bed available. We reserved a triple at the Hotel Pantheon instead. Can you share your experiences ( trattoria, tips and such)?Thank you and look forward to hearing about the hotel from anyone.

Hi
Sorry but fingers work faster than brain sometimes. The book said the pizzas were brilliant. It was great. Get there before 3pm or after 6 pm. He closes up. Paper butcherpaper tableclothes. Loud voice and the pizza are great. Another place, though I can't recall the name was a Salumeria right near the Pantheon. Good pan pizza and great looking food.

We were only there for 3 days and if i can recall more I'll post again.
