we (a couple in the 40s) have been staying in this hotel for 5 nights. the hotel is in small building which was once (17th century) a monastry; it is located just opposite of the famous Fontana di Trevi. the hotel itself is absolutely romantic, and so is the location. We really loved our room with a view on the fountain. It has been the most romantic stay of our life!

Of course, you have to be prepared for such a building and such a location. If you are looking for the comfort and luxury of a modern hotel within this price category, then this is not your place. The floors are old, and hence, uneven. The walls and the windows belong to a building of the 17th century. The noise coming through the window day and night is that of the fontana fountain, sounding like the ocean, and that of a a crowd of happy and friendly people enjoying the atmosphere. It was so tremendously beautiful.

We loved this special hotel. It is a small, quirky and slightly shabby hotel right in front of the Trevi Fountain but it was wonderful. If you want luxury do not stay here. If you want atmosphere in a unique Italian Hotel this is the place for you. I will be back.

All I have to say is that this hotel was completely disturbing. We arrived at the hotel which was directly overlooking the Trevi Fountain. The font desk had what seemed to be an 80 year old lady bring our bags up in the 1 person elevator. I would have done it myself, but before I realized, the bags where on their way up (one at time).

When we got to our room, we noticed a funny odor - and every time we walked into the bathroom, we would become light-headed and have to quickly sit down. Inside the actual room was no different, aside from the incredible noise coming from people below visiting the Trevi Fountain, the floors were so uneven, you could actually see the wardrobe tilting! And when you lie on the bed, you roll to the edge!!! Without even unzipping a suitcase, I was on the phone booking another hotel - Hotel Ciccarone - an excellent choice I might add.

We did try to get our money back (even offered to pay the 1st night) but since we had paid in advance for 3 nights, the manager refused to refund our money. We didn’t care - the most important thing was to get out of there!!! And that we did!!!

My party of 3 booked two view rooms, but slight mix up upon arrival got us only one fountain view rm. (My friend was willing to take the non-view rm - her main concerns were a clean room & comfortable bed & she said her rm. met her expectations.)
Our rm. on the 2nd level was quite small but clean, tastefully furnished, with a spectacular view of the Trevi! Bathrooms had updated/modern facilities with lots of hot wtr!
If you love old world style, you will love the antiques & art throughout. There is a tiny lift, but couldn't fit us all plus our luggage, so we took the creaking stairs (adding to the ambiance!)
*As nice as it was to overlook the gorgeous Trevi Fountain, if you are a light sleeper, the sound of the waters might keep you awake. (just something to think about before booking a view rm.)
*The breakfast service on the Rooftop terrace started at 7am, giving us plenty of time to enjoy delicious food, nicely presented, before our flight out. The view from this rooftop was wonderful.
