Scene
On the site of an ancient Roman theater
Teatro
di Pompeo Hotel sits on the site of an ancient Roman theater, the remnants of which can be seen from the hotel's breakfast and Internet room, located in a stone cellar.
The lobby area is long and narrow, with terra-cotta floors and exposed ancient stone walls and arches, furnished with
a red sofa and green armchairs. The ground-floor public spaces can be dark, as there are few windows. An adjoining
building next to the main building has a spiral staircase
but no elevator, which might pose a challenge
for guests with limited mobility. Within walking distance of many of Rome's major attractions, this hotel is popular with leisure travelers, especially couples.
