My husband, 8-year old daughter and i just returned from a 3-week trip to europe, 3 days of which we spent at the hotel scalinata di spagna.The location at the top of the spanish steps, just a few yards from the hotel hassler, can't be beat, and charming Fabio at the front desk took wonderful care of us. Our triple room offered plenty of space for the 3 of us, and breakfast each morning on the rooftop terrace, with its breathtaking view of Rome, was idyllic, not to mention delicious! As a runner, I loved having the gorgeous Borghese Gardens just a few blocks away from the hotel. We would recommend this hotel to everyone!

The hotel is situated on the top of the Spanish Steps. Charming decoration. Clean. Very friendly and helpful manager that helped us find a last minute tour to Vatican Museum. The outdoor breakfast was simple and nice. We got the room at the last minute for EUR 120 for a two-person room with double bed and EUR 140 for a 3-person bedroom. (Booked at 8 am and check in at 11 am on the same day). For people that can't walk up and down the stairs often, this hotel might not be suitable because everything is at the bottom of the Spanish Steps (restaurants, shops, metro). I loved getting up early and be the only person on the Spanish Steps :)

We arrived at the Scalinata after a bad experience in a small hotel in Florence. We were apprehensive about what we might find. We were really happy with the choice. The location was great, the rooms were small but clean. The staff friendly and helpful. The roof top was a nice place to have breakfast although breakfast was no so great - actually skip it and grab a cappacino somewhere else
We were a group of six. We all agreed that we would definitely book this hotel again

We picked this hotel after we had seen all the good reviews people all over the world had written about Scalinata di Spagna and decided to see for ourselves. We are a family of three with a small child and asked for an extra bed for the baby and there was no problem in getting it.
As we entered the hotel we could see that we had made the right decision on staying there because everything was so shiny and clean from the first step to the last. The receptionist was also very kind and nice to us the entire time of our stay there. We got a room on the first floor with a lovely view of Piazza di Spagna and all its surroundings. In the room there was a big tv with cable , telephone and a big bathroom with shower and tub.
For directions and places to visit in Rome we asked the receptionists and got a lot of helpful answers so they were very kind also.
The position of the hotel is perfect right in the heart of Rome , next to Piazza di Spagna and Fontana di Trevi ; two of Rome's best places to visit so I can say Scalinata Hotel is a piece of heaven on earth.We loved it.
