Frommer's Review
You're obviously paying for the million-dollar view, but you might find that it's worth it to be across from the Pantheon. This building was constructed in 1450 as a home, and the first records of it as a hostelry appeared in 1467, making it one of the world's oldest hotels. The layout is amazingly eccentric; prepare to walk up and down a lot of three- or four-step staircases. The guest rooms vary greatly in decor, with compact, tiled full bathrooms. The rooms opening onto the piazza tend to be noisy at all hours. The quieter rooms overlook the quiet courtyard, but we always prefer to put up with the noise to enjoy one of the world's greatest views. For the grandest view of the Pantheon, ask for room no. 106 or 108.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
