This hotel is located one building to the left of the Spanish Steps just over a Furla purse store. The location is ideal. The rooms are small, but feel more spacious because the ceilings are sky high. The bathroom is nicely done and there is plenty of airconditioning. The hotel has charm, fabulous staff who are happy to provide suggestions, arrange tours and answer all your questions. The hotel staff arranged guided tours of the Vatican and the Colleseum for us and the addtional cost was well worth it. Boris Regner was our guide and he was terrific (incredibly knowledgeable, speaks fluent English and a pleasure to spend time with). With the guide (a cost of 170 euros for three hours) we gained easy access to the venues (no waiting in line) and learned as much or as little as we wanted.
The hotel staff has a little handbook of suggested restaurants to visit. Their breakfast suggestions are not good. As the saying goes, when in Rome... eat a pastry and have at cappucino at a neighbourhood coffee place. American Breakfasts are terrible and we quickly learned not worth the money. We ate at a place called Veccia Roma for dinner. It was delicious. There are lots of little places not far from the hotel that are yummy. Go for dinner around 8:30 p.m. If you see Italians eating there that's a good sign.
The hotel is a Relais property and is known as Internationale Domus. I'm used to 5 star properties and while this didn't have all the modern touches of the Savoy in Florence, it was exactly what I wanted. Tons of charm, very clean and the BEST LOCATION in Rome. I would definitely stay there again.
