After having read some of the "terrible to average" reviews, I felt compelled to set the record straight. First for the proper perspective. The Scalinara is a very small hotel, with a limited, but highly professional staff, that offers excellent value. It is not a luxury hotel, nor claims to be, and thus has some limitations in terms of available... More

Scalinata Di Spagna is a boutique hotel at the top of the Spanish Steps in Rome featuring small, but well-equipped rooms that are quiet and comfortable. Its two best features, though, are the manager, Fabio, and the partially open roof terrace where breakfast is served each morning and the cappuccino machine is available 24-7. The dapper Fabio seemed genuinely interested... More

I stayed for a day in April on a business trip to Rome before joining my conference in Marriott. The location of the hotel is just perfect. Just climb up on the Spanish Steps and you are there. The Espania metro stop is down the steps and most of the key attractions are within 15-20 mins walk. I arrived when... More

We stayed there 15 years ago and wanted to return for a 3 night stay. It is a bit dated now from what we remembered, but still ok for the money and you cannot get a better location and view in this part of the city. Everything is either walking distance or a short cab ride. The room is a... More

This is a wonderful boutique hotel less than one minute's walk from the top of the Spanish Steps. Having less than 20 rooms and a friendly staff made our stay here seemed more like a visit home ... and that is a good thing! One other reviewer questioned the cleanliness; nonsense. Our room, the common areas including the coffee, breakfast... More

We enjoyed the hotel with an amazing location at the top of the Spanish Steps. The people who work there were very friendly and helpful. They made the trip to Rome that much better. We had 2 rooms there that were both nice and comfortable and the free WiFi was very useful. They recommended some of the best food for... More

I stayed at the hotel with my daughter in late July. It is lovely. The location is terrific-pretty much everything is in walking distance and there is a lot of activity yards away near the Spanish Steps, yet the hotel is tucked away and it is fairly quiet. The owners and the staff are very nice and helpful about restaurants,... More

We stayed in room 4 on the ground floor for 3 nights. The room was large and comfortable. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was nice, and Sky and free WiFi were very useful. Location was excellent, right at the top of the Spanish steps, lots to see and do, plenty of excellent eating places nearby. Would definitely... More

It is very small hotel. The room is relatively in good size and the furniture are in antique and luxury style. The only thing that was not good was the shower, which the water keep changed from very hot to very cold in the middle . The breakfast is small but good for this type of hotels. The service is... More
