5The location of the Hotel Abruzzi is amazing! Look out the window and the Pantheon is right in front of you and fills the entire view. We enjoyed our stay and the hotel was quite nice with a minibar, coffee and tea in the room, free b-fast at a cafe on the Pantheon square. A few rough edges that could be improved. There are no english channels on the TV. I find this surprising because most other Italian hotels have BBC and CNN in english. The beds were very firm (foam mattresses), but they seemed to soften a bit with use. There is a lift, but it starts on the first floor which is up a long narrow flight of stairs.
A good restaurant is right by the hotel. It's called the Marcus Agrippa and has patio tables right on the square. Final note; we toured all over Rome, Florence and Venice, you will not find a hotel with this kind of view and location at this price anywhere else in these cities. If your budget can handle the rates here then you will be pleased with this hotel. You can stay here and tour all of Rome within 1 mile walk from the hotel.
