We spent one night in the Pantheon Relais and it was one night too many. Despite a staff that tried to be helpful when they were around, there were many things that we disliked about the property. The Good Breakfast is delivered to your room because there is no communal space to speak of in the hotel. We ordered croissants and cappuccinos, and both were first rate. The Good/Bad The location was both good and bad. Good because it was right near the Pantheon (maybe 40 meters away) on a street with lots of restaurants. Unfortunately, the street noise was carried up to our room making it difficult to sleep at night. Also, the street was not accessible by car, which meant that you had to walk with luggage to/from the hotel, albeit not far. The staff was also both good and bad. The hotel is not staffed full-time, but they tried to be helpful, despite struggling with English. The Bad The property was quirky and dingy. The air conditioning couldn't cool the room, the front door of the hotel didn't lock and there was no staff to ensure safety, the windows didn't block street noise, the shower was uncomfortably small, pillows/shampoo/toilet paper were awful, etc. I looked up requirements for a five-star hotel in Italy and among the requirements: receptionists who can speak at least three languages and reception should be open 24 hours a day. The main receptionist struggled with English and used her phone to communicate. Moreover, the reception desk was not staffed 24 hours a day. Anyone ovr 30 should really not stay at a property like this. It's relatively inexpensive for a reason.
