we arrived late but only had to press the intercom outside and say who we were and were let in immediately. went up in the ornate wrought iron lift to reception. signed in and taken to room which was more than adequate. 2 beds pushed together to make a really huge bed and good mattress, bathroom good although quite high sides to step into. breakfast was help yourself and good selection of pastries etc. staff friendly and very helpful. location superb as spanish steps & metro within 2 mintues walk. all the designer shops close by! the hotel was putting in new wooden floors whilst we were there, but apart from seeing the materials when we went out in the morning everything was gone by the time we came home.on last day it rained and we went back to hotel after lunch (12.00 check out) to wait in lounge area. no problem with staff who kept our case until we decided to go to airport.i have read other reviews and it seems as though some people were not in the same hotel as us! i can recommend it on our experience and we would go back to this hotel again as it felt a very safe area.

Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone I knew. As soon as we arrived the front desk was extremley helpful with explaining everything and giving us a map of Rome advising us of the best places to eat and drink.

The room was very Roman Italian and was a comfortable size although not very big. However, the room that we stayed in (first room, straight down the hall from reception) was exposed to the breakfast service noise in the mornings. Other than this, we had a great experience.

Location was fantastic as it is a stone's throw away from the Spanish Steps and all the 'expensive' shops.

Breakfast was also very pleasant.

Overall, would recommend this hotel to anyone who wished to pay less than €120 a night.

  • Liked — Roman Italian Feel
  • Disliked — No internet access unless you have your own laptop.

6/6 found this review helpful

I loved the Hotel Forte, it is set in a quaint roman street 2 minutes walk from the Spanish Steps and Metro. The hotel is on the 1st floor of an old palazzo, with a delightful wrought iron spiral staircase and lift. Our twin room was number 140, it was very quiet and looked onto a courtyard ( not the best view, but we did not mind that ) the hotel is all on the 1st floor. Our room was spacious and spotless, my only complaint is that it was a little dark, but no problem. The bathroom was clean and roomy we had a shower over the bath. The bathroom was well stocked daily with toiletries ( we even had paper slippers ! ) and fresh fluffy towels.

The breakfast room was lovely and bright with typical continental fayre, cereals, pastries, ham, cheeses etc. the cappucini were excellent, also the best tea I've had in Rome, the young lady that served the drinks was very pleasant. There were only 4 tables in the breakfast room but we always got seated.

The 3 front desk staff that we dealt with were all very friendly and helpful, we were even allowed to check in early as our room was ready ( usally 2pm ) there is a security guy at the front of the building 24hrs, who was always friendly on entering and leaving.

I would highly recommend the Hotel Forte and I am planning to return as soon as possible. I cannot understand the negativity of some of the previous reviews, for a 3 star hotel you get 5 star treatment. Once again thank you Hotel Forte, our trip was made extra-special at this beautiful hotel.

Our stay at Hotel Forte could not have been better, and we loved the hotel's location. It was a very short walk to the spanish steps and the local metro station, and was within walking distance of the Trevi Fountain and the Piaza del Popolo.
Our room was spotless and pleasant, and we never found it to be unduly noisy. The hotel breakfast was simple but nice, and the selection was quite good.
The staff themselves could not have been more helpful or pleasant throughout our stay, even taking the time to draw suggested routes on our map when we asked for locations and travel advice.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Forte and would almost certainly stay there again.

  • Liked — The location and the helpfulness of the staff.
  • Disliked — The room was a little small, but perfectly adequate.

We picked the Hotel Forte for its top location on the beautiful Via Margutta just a couple of blocks from the Spanish Steps. The staff was very friendly and helpful but the room was tiny - I mean TINY...it was clean, the teensy marble bath was clean - but there was barely room to turn around. Unfortunately I would not stay there again because the room, for the price, simply was not worth it.
