I miss the old days, when this was a student crash pad with giant, creaky rooms and ridiculously low rates that just so happened to have the best view in Rome: you could open your bedroom window and practically poke the Pantheon with a stick.

The view's still there, of course (from all rooms save a few singles; best from the large corner doubles with windows on two walls), but several years ago the Abruzzi renovated itself into three-star status—A/C, TV, minibars, the works—and more than doubled its prices. Ah, well. That's progress for you.

At least there were some improvements, chief among which was that they installed double-glazed windows to help keep out the dark side to that killer view: the considerable pedestrian noise that rises late into the night from this popular piazzs.
