I stayed at La Lumiere di Piazza di Spagna for six nights (August 19-25) during my last leg of the trip. I was a little apprehensive because it was not highly ranked on the TA Forum. However, it was more than I expected. The staff was extremely helpful. The room was spacious enough for the two of us. The only thing was that the bathroom shower/jacuzzi was not a bit tight to get in. Also, there was leakage of water while taking a shower from the shower window so the floor would get wet. The bathroom definately needed a repair.

However, the location was EXCELLENT and our view from the room was fantastic as we could see the Spanish Steps from our window. We had Furla on our left and Weitzman Stewart in front of us. It was great. We walked everywhere and the Spagna Metro was literally about a 3 minute walk. Could not have asked for a better location.

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.

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

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".
