Frommer's Review
Right off the Piazza del Popolo is one of Rome's most select boutique hotels -- it could easily become your favorite address in Rome. If you stay here, you'll be following in the footsteps of Goethe, Salvator Rosa, Trilussa, Poussin, and Giuseppe Valadier, among other well-known poets, writers, and artists. All around the hotel are historical churches and monuments. Bedrooms are tranquil and decorated in a somewhat minimalist style, evocative of the Directoire style of the 18th century. The bare pine floors are a graceful note, as is the cherry wood furniture. The most dramatic aspect is the panoramic rooftop terrace, taking in views of the Villa Borghese, Piazza del Popolo, and Michelangelo's dome at St. Peter's.

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.
