While waiting to be able to enter the apartment I had rented in Rome (located near Campo dei Fiori), I had to find a hotel for one night, did so last minute by internet (Venere) and wound up here, at some distance that is from where I rented. The Accademia is a fine hotel really, and is called so because of its address, Piazza Dell’Accademia di San Luca, which is a very small square - more of a triangle really - just off the Via del Tritone, where there is a busstop almost right at your doorstep, number 175. The Via del Tritone connects Piazza Barberini with the Via del Corso, if that means anything to you. Roman busses at rush hour – and at any other hour - are sheer tragedy, so I took a taxi from Termini and paid 8 euros. I had a good room (luxury level though, it seemed), streetside but quiet, with a very modern bathroom for which I paid 150 instead of the normal 200. It wasn’t very large, but adequate and clean. Service at the desk was friendly, but it might have helped that I speak Italian. Breakfast next morning was okay, especially if you consider the normal appalling level of breakfast in Italy. The hotel advertises itself as a three star, and they are right. And yes, 200 would be expensive, even for Rome.
The only thing I didn’t like about the hotel – but for which it is praised by many on this site – is the location. And I suppose that accounts for the price. I myself would never willingly accept a hotel location so near to the Trevi fountain. It means that hordes of people will be passing by from dawn till nightfall, and that, if you buy a cappuccino on a terrace at the Via del Tritone, you pay 5 euros. Two days later, on a terrace at the Via Merulana, I paid 1.50. At Campo dei Fiori you will pay 3. The area around Trevi is heavily tourist infested, noisy, full of cheap shops and (mostly) bad restaurants, where no decent Italian would ever care to sit down. Like the area around the Spanish steps it is a circus. People who live there are complaining for years now about the mess that is made by – especially – younger visitors. Apart from the heavy tourist traffic in the direction of the Trevi fountain, I have always found the area around the Via del Tritone dull.
If you want to be chic, choose Via Veneto, if you prefer oldfashioned Italian charm, choose the area behind Via Arenula and the Tiber, or the area between Navona and the Tiber, or settle for Trastevere, which is lovely too. You won’t avoid the tourists there either, and you never will in Rome, but it is much nicer and much more Italian. And if you ‘d like to stay for a week or longer, rent an apartment. But, like I said, with the Accademia there ’s nothing wrong.

Having read other reviews along the same lines, let me reiterate that the best thing about this hotel is the location. Uncomfortable beds, rude staff, badly cooked breakfast. The whole experience was a struggle. I was a solo traveller and the chill at the Reception when coming back to the hotel each time was noticeable. The impression I got from the staff is that they really don't care - the only person who was in any way pleasant was the "bell-boy" but he expected to be highly rewarded! I would suggest that you go somewhere else

This hotel is perfectly located near the fountain di Trevi (approximately 50m). But you should be ready to see a lot of tourists going to fountain. Don't worry about noises from the street. You'll hear nothing if window is closed.
The hotel inside is quite cosy. It has 3 floors and breakfast room on the 0 floor. Breakfast was normal, without any luxury, but enough to feeling full. All dishes had good quality.
Room is really small, but we came back to hotel only at night and it wasn't a problem. Only one negative information about room: one of the wall was so dirty!!!
I'd recommended this hotel for tourists who aren't going to spend a lot of time in it.
And my advice for all Rome's visitors is take the most comfortable boots you have.

No doubt - the location is great. But there are some nusty details one should take in account before choosing this hotel:
1. The double bed is actually two single beds pushed together.
2. Brekfast contains no vegetables (at least on March), and overall is rather restricted to basics.
3. A dining room is small, so if you come at about 9 - you should wait or sit outside it on unserved tables.
4. The Hotel's web list of services mentions twice that in standart room one may get free WiFi, however in fact wireless costs you 3 EUR per hour.
5. The News Café is not impressive at all.

Accept all this we had no battaries in a TV remote control and a safe was locked.
If you do not care all mentioned above - the rest is perfect.

After I booked the hotel I read the comments here and got a little scared, I saw a lot of comments stating very bad service from the staff, I usually don't write reviews but I had such a good experience I thought I must balance the reviews a little :)

I went with my sister for four nights, from 5.2 to 9.2, when we reached the entrance of the hotel we were greeted by the bellboy(I think he was the bellboy) and our bags were taken from us, after 5 minutes in the reception we received our key and a map of the city and were taken to our room, in the room the bellboy showed us our location on the map and places we should see in Rome (I never got this kind of service in another country).

The room was OK, nothing special, just what I expected, nice bathroom, the street wasn't noisy and if there was some noises closing the window fixed it immediately, we slept with the window open and had no problems.

the breakfast was good (scrambled eggs, bacon, small whiners and more).

I want to elaborate a little about the staff, after the first day we did saw that they were less welcoming, they gave you the feeling they don't really want to help BUT whenever we needed something they helped (explanation about the buses, wi-fi access, etc...) AND I got this feeling from a lot of service-givers (restaurants, kiosks, people in the street and even Information in the airport ) in Rome (maybe this is common in Rome....)
the point is that if you needed helped you got it.

and the last thing is... location, location, location :)
in 4 days we used the bus only from and to the airport, the rest of the time we walked, 1 minute to Fontana Di Trevi, 7 minutes to Pantheon, 30 minutes to the Vatican, well you get the point :)

  • Liked — the location and breakfast
  • Disliked — wi-fi needed to be renewed every two hours and maybe the staff should smile a little more
