We were booked in to La Fenice for 4 nights. We turned up on the first night, a Saturday, only to be told there had been a problem and there wasn't a room for us. We were offered a room at their sister hotel (Trevi Hotel) for the night and could come back the next day. We would have rated the hotel higher if we could have stayed for the full 4 nights.

The hotel is in an excellent location, five minutes walk from the Trevi Fountain and very convenient for the metro, 5 mins walk to the Barberini. Also within walking distance for the Pantheon, Spanish Steps and Villa Borghese.

Our double room was very pleasant, although there were no English speaking tv channels. The staff were friendly and helpful.

There is only 8 rooms and so the breakfast room is very small but great location on the 5th floor with views over the rooftops.

The hotel is in a side street and we weren't bothered at all by any road noise.

A perfect base from which to explore Rome.

Spent four nights in Rome at this 8 room facility. The room was spacious and equipped with a Jacuzzi tub. Located between the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain and with in walking distance of many of the top sights. The staff was courteous and very helpful. I would also recommend Julio's, the little restaurant next door. I would definitely stay here on my next visit.

My husband and I found La Fenice to be extremely well located - we were within minutes walk of the major sites yet, because the hotel is on a side street, it felt quite peaceful. The staff were very friendly and helpful - moving us to a triple room after an initial mix up with the room. I would advise booking a triple room as it was so much more spacious than the double we were first given. Breakfast was basic but more than sufficient. Rooms were tidy and clean. We would definitely return to La Fenice - it felt like a quiet haven to return to after a long day's sightseeing.

Having read other reviews my husband and I were wary of what we would experience at this hotel.

Our room and en suite were decorated to a very good standard. The reception staff were very pleasant and helpful ( and spoke good English compared to our Italian).

Unfortunately breakfast was not up to the same standard and the lady serving it was not as welcoming as the rest of the staff.

Overall however we were very pleased with our choice. The hotel is ideally situated for many of the sights (Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and the Spanish Steps) and is situated on a quiet street only a 5 minute walk from the nearest metro station.
