In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Location is the standout — Guests score it 9/10 and mention the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, shopping streets and both Spagna and Barberini metro stations as being close by.
- Helpful around-the-clock front desk — The 24-hour reception, late check-out and express check-in/out make arrival and departure straightforward, with luggage storage, room service and a paid airport shuttle also available.
- Rooms equipped for a city break — Listed room facilities include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, heating, a minibar, tea and coffee facilities, a flat-screen TV, ironing facilities and free toiletries.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are modest — Rooms and cleanliness is the lowest-scoring category at 6/10, and reviews describe compact rooms and a very firm bed.
- Breakfast divides opinion — Dining scores 7/10. The spread can include pastries, fruit, eggs, bacon and cheese, but some guests found it unremarkable and the coffee poor.
- Limited English-language TV — One English-speaking guest noted there were no English TV channels apart from a 24-hour poker channel.
- Published check-in ends at 23:59 — The listed check-in window runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so plan around a late-night arrival despite the 24-hour front desk.

8.8Verified guest“A broad breakfast spread: pastries, fruit, eggs, bacon and cheese.”
8.8Verified guest“My room was spotlessly clean and had a balcony, plus an in-room safe. The staff were exceptionally accommodating — they blew my mind. The location was fantastic, with easy access to a lively, elegant square. The airport was 20 km away.”
8.8Verified guest“The hotel is within walking distance of Rome's main shopping areas and places of interest. Reception staff were very accommodating and helpful, and the hotel was clean.”
8.8Verified guest“Great central location, with a small but functional room on a quiet street. Breakfast didn't impress and the coffee was poor, and staff were guardedly friendly. Not bad at all for a three-star hotel right by the Spanish Steps.”
