Submitted by Roberta Lawrence, Charlottesville, Virginia 22901, United States
The hotel and staff were wonderful, very helpful and polite, and the hotel was lovely; it's location near Campo di Fiori was perfect! I will recommend it to all my friends who go to Rome. The valet service to and from the airport that you offered was also very helpful.
...
No complaints at all!
...
Lovely hotel, very much a part of the area. It's location to Piazza Campo dei Fiori made it a great starting point for any sight-seeing we did, and the fact that Trattoria del Pallaro was so close (an excellent palce to eat!)made it even better on one very rainy night. The staff were so nice, and considerate. The room was much larger than I expected, well-appointed and meticulously clean, and the bathroom was excellent. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Rome.

Our accomodations were awesome. The remains of the old theater make for a delightful atmosphere in the breakfast room. Hotel staff was very courteous and helpful. Staying at this hotel made our visit to Rome expecially memorable, we will stay there again.

You may want to suggest for people arriving from the airport they take the local commuter train (instead of Leonardo express) to Rome Trastevere, then Tram 8 to Largo Argentina. This brought us very close to the hotel, and we didn't have to hassle with a bus or Termini. It also only cost $5.
...
Pluses: Great location! Tons of TV channels. Like the spacious room and storage. For Rome, it was pretty quiet.
Minuses - even by European standards, the bathroom had an awkward layout - not a major problem though. I was prepared for stairs to the room, however these were very narrow and winding - really a challenge with luggage. Room windows were broken in that they could not be properly opened and/or closed. We reported this Thursday, however it could not be repaird before we left.
...
Great location, very convenient for evening and transport. Be careful of the stairs if you have a room in the dependence (although the room was very big).

we took a car arranged by the hotel from the airport - it was a bit expensive but saved a lot of hassle so we were pleased we'd done it.

I was disappointed that the 3rd bed was a folding bed.
The staff were very friendly. The room and hotel were very clean. Breakfast was excellent. The position was just fantastic - within walking distance to everywhere.

A car had been arranged to take us directly from the airport. It was on time and the driver was very helpful. On reaching the hotel there was no delay in getting us to our room and we were made to feel most welcome.

It is very well situated, has a welcoming, friendly and relaxed atmosphere and any queries are answered most helpfully. We have come to regard it as our home in Rome.

My husband and I loved The Hotel Teatro di Pompeo. When we return to Rome, we would not even consider staying any place else. It was a beautiful hotel in a great location. The people who work at Teatro di Pompeo are what make this experience special. Of course, like any other top notch hotel, they were professional. What separates the people at Hotel Teatro di Pompeo is that they make your stay personal. They are helpful, kind, wonderful people. I cannot wait to return.
...
The breakfast among the ruins was wonderful. The little lady that works at breakfast in the morning was adorable. The room was spotless.
...
Loved everything about the hotel, location and the people. I might add, that the little tratorrie next door was also wonderful.
...
I cannot think of anything.

Great hotel in a great location with a great staff.

Excellent coffee and breakfast.

Taxi arrangement was not well coordinated by staff. Taxi waited while our bags were brought down causing extra expense, although we had asked both these services well in advance.

Steps away from passageway to Campo de'Fiori with its colorful daily market.

Cozy, quiet, comfortable, modest hotel in great location with excellent breakfast and very nice staff.

The only reason I don't give full score on #6 is that one of the receptionists was not very helpfull when asked about the sightseeingbuses in Rome - not helpfull at all - but more interested talking with her friend on the phone.But we went to a nearby hotel and got the directions we needed.

It's a hidden gem that we tell all our friends about.

See # 14. A hidden gem with a excellent location to explore the city. Almost everything within walking-distance. And not to forget Campo de Fiorio.

You should emphasize how quiet the location is, because I have stayed in Rome many times, and Rome is a very noisy city and most of the hotels are in noisy locations.

Comfortable and convenient and pleasant, but modest.The hotel is not beautiful, and yet there are no problems, and everything you want you get.

We booked an airport pickup with the hotel which worked very well.
...
Standards of service were very good. The one thing we felt could be added was the facility to make warm drinks in your room - maybe not so important in the summer but definitely of value in February when we stayed.
...
Excellent value for money with a real feel of history accompanied by all the modern conveniences we expect from a hotel.

You could hear the guests in the other rooms rather clear (through the walls), thats the only thing we might comment.

Though we arrived mid-morning, we were shown to our room immediately.

The staff was super-friendly and super-helpful. When we asked for directions to a restaurant (Pancrazio), the desk clerk actually walked us -- via a shortcut -- to the place.
...
We'd made a mistake, wanting to leave a day before the one on our voucher. We offered to pay for the extra day. Simona, a desk clerk, refused; we were not charged for it.
...
Ideally located in 'old Rome,' with a friendly and helpful staff, fine complimentary breakfast, good-sized and ultra-quiet rooms with mini-bar and TV (including CNN).

I had been able to e-mail the hotel directly to confirm our reservations. My e-mails were promptly answered which put me at ease. Our arrival was expected and an easy process. Our room was very nice and very clean. We felt much more a part of Rome than if we had stayed at an American chain hotel.
...
We were delighted with our short stay at the Hotel Teatro di Pompeo. The hotel is in an excellent location in a very quiet area of the ancient city of Rome. The accommodations, the staff and the breakfast were all excellent. We were delighted to find a small excellent restaurant two doors down from the hotel for dinner. It's family owned and run and the fixed price and the food were wonderful! We are still talking about this restaurant. I wish I could remember the name, but you can't miss it, it's two doors down from the hotel to the left of the hotel door. We would stay at the Hotel Teatro di Pompeo again!
...
Easy and quick. The staff members were great!

The website very fairly described this nice, small hotel.

The Hotel Teatro di Pompeo is a little hard to find, but in an excellent location in the anctient city of Rome. We would stay there again.

Nice hotel. Good location. Staff friendly. Simple breakfast gut good for starting the day. Fresh coffee brewed for each table as they come in for breakfast. Many sites within walking distance. GREAT RESTAURANT next door and reasonably priced (Der Pallaro).
...
It is pretty much in the middle of the old town. It's a pretty good walk to the coliceum and the Vatican but you can do it.
The Pantheon, Campo d Fiori, Piazza Verona, Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps are well within reasonable walking distance.
...
DER PALLARO restaurant next door is very reasonable and a great and unique dining experience. No menu. You eat what they fix that day. Family run. A 'don't miss' location.
...
Clean and very centrally located. Reasonable price for the location. Staff friendly and helpful. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

This hotel is tucked away in a peaceful location which is very good for key sights but which makes it quite tricky to find in a new city after a long flight so it is very useful to be offered collection by car from the airport.

A surprisingly quiet location but very well situated for seeing the key sights, socialising and for public transport to get around the city. Friendly helpful staff and a unique piece of history.

If you want a small authentic hotel, in the heart of what is truly Roman I reccomend the Teator de Pompeo. But do take a very detailed map with you!

Perhaps a small detailed map of the immediate area (like one I found in a brochure at the desk) to give to a cab driver to find the hotel. We came from the train station and had a small problem getting a cab to bring us to the hotel.

The Hotel limo was prompt and it was nice to be met in the airport by our driver. However it wasn't actually a limo, as expected, but an MPV which while certainly in better condition than most taxi's, was not worth almost double the normal taxi fare to the airport.
