We have just returned from five days at The Inn at the Spanish Steps. We were so happy we sent a thank you note to the hotel. After changing rooms (they were very helpful) we found ourselves in a sunny, cozy, antique filled room with a good amount of space and some lovely touches (fireplace, beamed ceilings). A note--the street is lively and noisy. Great for walking on but not for having a room above. The windows shut out the noise, but if you like an open window, day or night, ask for a room facing the back.
The location of the Inn is perfect, right in the center of shopping and endless trattorias/ristorantes, not to mention the obvious (the Spanish Steps right down the block)
The concierge service is perfect. Franco, in particular, was most helpful, suggesting wonderful places to dine. The entire staff is friendly, polite and very professional. We were delighted with their help and most appreciative.
Our favorite part of the Inn was the upstairs breakfast nook/lounge area. A lovely buffet breakfast (included) is served as you sit on comfortable couches and arm chairs (or outdoors, under umbrellas in warmer weather.) An early evening free buffet is offered as well, and provides an opportunity to meet and chat with other guests.
We found the Inn via Tripadvisor, so thanks to all who recommended it before me. Much appreciated.
