The Inn At The Spanish Steps

An upscale low key gem of a hotel a literal stones throw away from The Spanish Steps. Not as opulent as some hotels, but an understated class was there throughout. As boutique as the many high end stores on the streets outside. Our room (413 in the main building) was clean, comfortable, stylish and quiet. A generously sized room, furnished in the hotels own style. A fridge, kettle, air con, International tv channels, quality toiletries and fast, free WiFi, were some of the facilities on offer. The hotel is split over more than one building (part of it's charm) but be aware that the main building that we were in (I did not visit the aoppartment building) has steps throughout. It is a very old building and, whilst a lift is available, it does not reach the top floors and steps are require to reach the lift from the ground floor. Not sa problem for most but worth mentioning. From the reception team, to the bar staff in the evening, the cleaners, the gentleman who carried our cases to our room and to the friendly team who provided the (excellent) breakfast in the cute rooftop bar. Everyone, without exception, was friendly, professional, warm and helpful (one of the best meals we had was as a result of the reception team's reccomendation and they booked it on our behalf). Greater luxury and grander facilities can doubtless be found elsewhere in a capitol city like Rome, but we feel we got an incredible bang for our buckand it suited us doen to the ground. A small, personal, charming and individual hotel. We loved every minute of our stay in Rome. Not just for the Colesseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican or the Trevi Fountain. It was also thanks to The Inn at the Spanish Steps and the team than run it. I can see us returning one day.

I stayed at The Inn at the Spanish Steps in December 2024 and was deeply disappointed with the experience. This was a far cry from the excellent stay I had in 2017, which made this visit all the more disheartening. From the moment I arrived, the reception personnel displayed a shocking lack of professionalism. Their attitude was rude, dismissive, and unhelpful, offering excuses rather than assistance. The room was poorly maintained. Cleaning standards were subpar, with noticeable issues such as peeling paint and worn-out furniture that didn’t match in color or style. The furniture felt old and neglected, and the overall aesthetic left much to be desired. Breakfast was another letdown. The variety was limited, and items ran out quickly without replenishment. While the breakfast area does offer a nice view, the steep stairs to access it made it inconvenient and difficult. The only advantage of this hotel is its prime location in the heart of the attraction areas, which makes it convenient for sightseeing. Unfortunately, this alone cannot make up for the substandard experience. Based on this stay, I cannot rate this hotel higher than 2 stars. It’s disheartening to see how far the quality has declined since my last visit.

The service was fantastic. Take advantage of access to their rooftop bar, they have a great selection of wines and small bites. The toiletries provided smelled so nice as well, which was a nice plus. The breakfast service variety was nice as well, the attendant was very welcoming and kind.

What a wonderful experience, we were met with a friendly team of staff that were helpful throughout. We had a lovely room, clean and comfortable with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was a buffet style set up and plenty of choice, again the staff were lovely and really helpful. We were just a stone throw away from the Spanish steps and lots of shops and restaurants! Travelling about is easy from this location too! Central to most tourist attractions Would definitely recommend

Went to Rome in November for my 60th with my wife. Really enjoyed this hotel we stayed in the hotel building rather than one of the nearby apartments. There is a lot of charm with a touch of class. The staff were very helpful throughout and stepped in to sort out a short notice airport transfer. Room was very spacious and beautifully decorated. Best thing is the location, we could walk everywhere c3km across the river to the Vatican and St Peters Sq and a shorter distance to the Forum and Colosseum, Trevi Fountain / Pantheon just a stroll and of course Spanish Steps right outside. The area around the hotel is vibrant, loads of high end luxury shops but also all the high street brands, cafe's and restaurants on every corner, try Ginger - Spagna via Del cross. We did not find eating out expensive and certainly lots of options for every budget. Throughout our 4 day stay we had great food, wine and even in November was warm enough (with a cosy jumper on) to sit outside and watch the world pass by. We opted for the breakfast which is served on the top floor where the decor and layout is a bit different! adding more of a pensione vibe, choice was very good with hot and cold options and gluten free, in fact everywhere we eat had an extensive gluten free choice it just seemed to be standard. In summary, great hotel touch of class lots of charm, small but personal, the best location for shopping, site seeing or just exploring, felt very safe throughout, would recommend the Inn at the Spanish Steps best place to rock your own Emily in Rome mini adventure.
