The Alex Inn is a lovely small boutique style hotel near the Trevi Fountain. My husband and I stayed there for 4 nights while in Rome in May. Our room was small but nicely furnished and very clean. We had a cozy patio area where we were served a very nice breakfast each morning. The staff was very friendly though it should be noted that there was not always a staff member on site who spoke English. This was not a problem for us as I speak some Italian but it could be a challenge for someone who does not. The hotel is very conveniently located about 3-4 blocks from the Barbarini subway stop. However to get to the hotel from the subway you do have to ascend a rather long flight of stairs to reach the street on which the hotel is located. This could be a bit of a problem for someone with a lot of luggage or someone with physical limitations.
