Checked out lots of 'hotel reviews' to find a quality hotel in Rome 'at the right price' and this one seemed to fit the bill.

We paid Euros 210 per night (per room inc. breakfast) for a 'superior double'. the room was comfortable/neat/tidy and a reasonable size, but couldn't really be described as 'superior'. It's true, it is noisy, our room was on the front of the hotel and even though there are people dining below your window, the whole thing goes very quiet from 12.30 pm until the street cleaners (if that's what they were!) come along at 7.00 am (ish). Probably worth asking for a room at the back just to be on the safe side, or taking some earplugs!! Service at the hotel is faultless.

This is a very nice area of Rome, the streets/shops/restaurants around the hotel are of the nicer variety (although a little more on the pricey-side). This is a very good hotel for the money in the virtual centre of Rome.

On a personal note, I don't rate the Spanish Steps - very busy and dirty with lots of kids just 'hanging around'. Trevi Fountain on the other hand is a lovely place to dip your tired toes.....along with many other wonderful places to visit. Kids of all ages love it here and the Italians seem to treat children very well......

One word of warning, watch the traffic - often a bit like running the gauntlet - but once you have it sussed (if you stand on the kerb the car will not stop/if you cross the road, it will!!) Rome is a world beater time after time....

I stayed here in May 04. This is an excellent hotel. The location is brilliant - it is literally round the corner from the spanish steps.

We got a free upgrade to a deluxe room. The rooms were large, clean and very well presented.

Breakfast was - very european - just simple.

This hotel is not cheap but worth paying for if you want a hassle free trip to Rome.

Location is ideal if you want to be near the action. The Spanish Steps Piazza is just around the corner and there are 3 or 4 wonderful restaurants with outdoor seating on either side of the hotel. Shoppers beware: The Via Condotti is next to the hotel and has every high priced fashion boutique on the planet. The only negative to this hotel was the bathroom, which had an unpleasant odor upon our arrival and it never dissapated. I would rate it a 2 and 3/4 star hotel only for this reason. There is one computer in the lobby that is connected to the Internet and free to use on a first come, first served basis. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

I switched to this hotel from another and was extremely happy with my stay. While there is some noise from the musicians that play on the street in the evening, the friendly customer service and convenient location was excellent! They booked our tours and dinner reservations without a problem. When we went to the Vatican museums, we skipped an enormous line to meet our guide. The hotel even provided internet service in the lobby. The showers were amazing, they had jets that shot from all angles, which was refreshing after a long day of touring. The location was excellent as well. We walked to the Vatican, Spanish Steps, Pantheon and much more. I highly reccomend this hotel!!
