Here's the good news - the rooms are modern, clean and reasonably spacious and the staff are friendly and accomodating, even the ones that don't speak much English. Great location , too.
Here's the bad news - yes, it's over 100 steps to your room - manageable without luggage but a real nightmare with. To the credit of the staff, they did volunteer to help me lug my suitcase up the stairs and when I checked out a very helpful gentleman carried it down for me. The great location can have a downside if you are a light sleeper - the street noise is considerable, especially if you are facing Piazza Barberiini.

We arrived at the Residence AT, and our Suite was ready right away. I didn't realize we had paid for a suite, but perhaps we were upgraded!

We brought our luggage up ~7 flights, and then another flight to our landing, and another full flight up to our bedroom/bathroom. So 9 flights at the end of the day is a serious concern if you aren't comfortable with that type of exertion. There is no option for an elevator.

The location is great, right next to the Barberini stop on Metro line A, with LOTS of buses coming right through at that stop. Also, because it's within the Aurelian walls, it's 40 Euros set rate to the FCO airport, which is good to know if you'd prefer not to lug your luggage on the metro.

The room was huge, a little dark, but always super clean. The pillows were approximately an inch thick, so we slept with sweatshirts underneath them to save our necks. There are zero english channels, so plan to not watch that at night time. Or bring a portable dvd player with you.

Breakfast was good - and set-us on the right track for the day.

Overall, a good stop!

This was a great little place to stay...location, location, location! The Trevi Fountain was just a couple of blocks away, so we walked there every night after we were done with our day! Beware - there is no elevator - but the rooms were very clean and the staff was very nice. I would definitely stay there again!

My husband and I traveled throughout Europe in September 2011. This was our last stop and we stayed in Rome at the Residence AT for 3 nights. The location was ok...it is close to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and a 20 minute walk to most other sites in Rome. However, there was no elevator and the stair case was long and hot. There was no assistance offered to help with our bags and of the four people we met who worked at the hotel only two spoke English. They were not helpful in securing a cab to the airport or suggesting a much more reasonable shuttle we later found and used to get to the airport. They offered no suggestions for good restaurants. The breakfast was average, but most are in Europe.

During the day when they cleaned our room they turned off the air conditioner, leaving our room hot and stuffy when we returned after a long day of hiking in 90-degree heat through Rome. I would not recommend the Residence AT and I would not stay here again. There are many other hotels in the same location that all looked better than this one.

Next time I am in Rome I would choose to stay in the Travestere area or closer to the river.
