Scalinata di Spagna Review

A long-time favorite of hopeless romantics, it's often hard to snag a room at this tiny hotel as it's often booked up for months, even years at a time. And it's not hard to guess why. For starters, its prime location at the top of the Spanish Steps, inconspicuous little entrance, and quiet, sunny charm all add to the character that guests fall in love with over and over again. Rooms were renovated in a stylish manner, focusing on accentuated floral fabrics and Empire-style sofas. Rooms that overlook the Spanish Steps are the first to go. But don't fret it you don't snatch up the room of your choice. You can always escape to the hotel's extravagant rooftop garden and gaze over ancient Rome as you nibble on your cornetto and sip on your cappuccino. Amenities, such as breakfast service until noon and in-room Internet access, are a nice touch.

    We booked a stay at the hotel based on the Fodors star recommendation. honestly, it really makes us question who at Fodors is evaluating the hotel. The Staff at hotel were lovely, however the accodations were simply awful, dirty, old, not at all refurbished like the review suggesgted. carpet filthy, in the hallways,laundry, toilet paper rolls on the floor. Breakfast, yes a nice terrace, but if you condsider bread, fruit and boiled hotdogs breakfast then it is the perfect place to stay. so expensive for what you are not getting. the only features this hotel has going for it is the nice people and location. we immediately checked out out lost 3 nights worth of hotel fees and went accross to the InterContiental.
    save yourself and your vacation DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
