“3 out of 5”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2007

Excellent location a stone's throw from the Spanish Steps so really easy to get to all the famous sights and landmarks. The hotel was compact, the room (Junior Suite) was quite small but big enough for the two of us. The private terrace that accompanies it was lovely and if you lean over the edge you can see the Spanish Steps.
My only gripe, and why I'm giving only 3 out of 5, was the service. As in there really wasn't any at all. I found the staff to be quite cold and not proactive at all.
Note: there is no ironing facility in the hotel you have to have your clothes sent elsewhere. And if you fancy a glass of vino on your private terrace, borrow fruit juice glasses from the unlocked breakfast room as the hotel has no wine glasses.

“Great location, but...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2007

The one thing this hotel has going for it is the location. Near the Spanish Steps in a fashionable neighborhood. Rooms are small. Shower is smaller. Elevator is still smaller!

Overpriced for what you get, other than the location

“Great hotel and staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2007
2
people found this review helpful

This small hotel is located within a couple of blocks of the Spanish Steps. As a result of the central location we were able to walk to all of the historic sites. This property is very well maintained and comfortable. The front desk staff were outstanding. They were very friendly and we appreciated the help they provided with scheduling day trips and dinner reservations. For a great meal try Ristorante Mario or Ristorante "34".

“Great hotel with exceptional staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2007
1
person found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 6 nights at Christmas and it was wonderful. The rooms are nice and we had a nice balcony. The breakfast room is beautiful and the food was good. The staff is exceptional. They really helped us out booking restaurants for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner, all their suggestions were perfect. I had good response emailing them prior to our visit and we were able to reserve a car from the airport and our first nights (Christmas eve) dinner. This is a great location near the Spanish Steps and Spanga metro stop, although we walked to almost everything. The surrounding streets can get busy in the early evening but I couldn't hear any noise at night.

“Outstanding location and concierge!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2006

people found this review helpful

My husband and I just returned from spending 5 days in Roma at this very nice hotel. The room was very pleasant, although the bathroom was somewhat small. The breakfasts were certainly adequate, but the much touted rooftop was closed. Most important to us, however, was the fine service rendered by the concierges at every opportunity. All our dinner reservations were happily made for us (including one for a future stop in Venice), and taxis telephoned, directions given, and Candy even went out of her way to purchase stamps and mail my postcards after working hours, returning every centime of change to me the next morning. The location could not be beat (we walked to virtually every single destination - forum, coliseum, Vatican, Borghese museum, etc.) and the assistance of the staff was impeccable. We would certainly stay here again and recommend it to travelers who don't have specific needs. As my husband is 65 and I am 64, we found no problems at all.
