We liked this hotel very much. The rooms are very basic but anyone who stays in the room and doesn't get out into the city should not stay in a hotel like this one. The breakfast in the mornings was served upstairs on the terrace and it was wonderful. All beverages (coffee tea, hot chocolate) were served with steamed milk (if requested) and that makes such a difference. We also used the terrace in the evenings to have some wine and talk with other guests.

Wifi worked well with our iPhone but only on the main floor where reception was.

This is not a place to stay if you are infirm, the hotel reception is on the 2nd floor and our room was on the 5th. There's an elevator but it is tiny and can barely fit 2 people with carry on bags. We only used it twice, while moving in and out of the hotel. The stairs don't have handrails and might pose a problem for someone who suffers from positional vertigo or who gets dizzy going down a winding road.

Our first night we ate at a hotel recommended restaurant and it was decent but we got the feeling that had we not been so hungry, we could have chosen something better on our own.

The location was fantastic. We could see the church at the top of the Spanish Steps from our windows. If you are a light sleeper, keep in mind all the rooms surround the central staircase and the lift runs up and down the center of the stairs. We were one floor below the breakfast terrace so we could hear people coming up to eat and the milk being steamed. Rather than it bothering us, we found it charming and it was an incentive to get up and eat before adventuring out.

We were able to use the computer (a Mac) provided for guests to check in for our connecting flight and look up restaurants, but describing it was a "business center" would be a stretch.

We would return, the staff were lovely and it was a good base for getting to most of the sights. We easily walked to the Pantheon, Fontana di Trevi and the Metro/subway.

We stayed here for four nights in early June. Let me first say that the location could not have been better. We went to our room, which was towards the rear of the building. Upon entry we were greeted by a chorus of jackhammers just outside our windows. This lasted our entire stay, although we were not in the room much during the day, The room consisted of a queen size bed and a chair that folded out into a cot. Both were like sleeping on a piece of plywood board. The shower as stated in previous post was about the size of a telephone booth. The elevator/lift was not working properly our entire stay, but we were getting used to the walking and steps that come with Rome. The air conditioner was controlled by management at the front desk. They would turn it off as you left the hotel and we would get back to a hot and steamy room. The room would be nice and cool by the next morning, The staff at the front desk were very helpful, but you will not get much from the elderly owner, Breakfast was nothing special, I showed up five minutes early one morning and the lady working told me I would have to leave until the correct time. Although the price and location were unbeatable for Rome I probably would not stay here unless I was by myself. There were three of us staying in this room and it was quite close quarters,

Stayed in this Hotel/Hostel for 3 nights sorry make that 2 nights because we left after the 2nd night (but paid for 3),location of the place i would have no problems its great, but the hotel/Hostel is stuck in a time warp, on our 1st morning we were trying to get the lift to the roof top for breakfast at 10,15 be it would not come down, but a shaby looking man make that a old man came down waving his hands shouting closed closed but when i showed him my watch he just muttered 10 am which is bull,when i ask who he was the young lad at reception told me he was the owner. when we got the breakfast the next morning jez that was Rubbish and the lady serving it well all i will say is a smile cost you nothing we stayed in room 58 outside our door was a shower/toilet which the cleaners started using at 7am, the shower in the rooms was something like a caravan shower turn around in it you risk banging your hips or elbows,this place is clean and as i said a great location but its not cheap for what you get to call this 3 star is a joke the stairs to reception are not to good if you have to hawk suitcase's up them it was a sorry day i booked this dump, stay well clear if you like to be treated well when on a holiday break.its worse than flying ryanair at least with ryanair you know what you are paying this joint your paying for a 3star hotel and getting a 2star hostel.AVOID AT ALL COST

This is a quaint little Hotel and from what I'm told, good value - although that's hard to judgw as the prices at ALL hotels in Rome appear outrageously high! Still, this was a family run concern with cute, clean rooms and did I mention the location/ Just around the corner from the Via Trtone and the Spanish Steps, 5 mins from the Trevi Fountain and countless piazzas and stores! The bathrooms are tiny and I wouldn't recommend this Hotel for anyone who is supersized - you'd be hard pressed to even get into the shower if you're not fairly slim. I have 36" hips and found it a squeeze! Still, the breakfast on the rooftop and the lovely view of the rooftops of Rome were gorgeous! If you have large suitcases, be warned that the elevator will only take you part of the way. I stayed in two different rooms due to travelling to the Amalfi Coast for a few days in the middle and both were great! #74 up on the 7th floor was my fave! By the way there's a great restaurant just on the way to the Spanish steps that has the BEST antipasto buffet I've seen - walk along the Via Macelli and it's at the quiet corner of the piazza!
