In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Exceptional room and service scores — Rooms and Service each rate 9.9, while Comfort comes in at a full 10. Guests repeatedly describe the rooms as spacious, spotless and well equipped.
  • Location right at the Spanish Steps — Reviews mention being about 50 metres from the main square at Piazza di Spagna and looking out at the Spanish Steps from some rooms; the listing also puts the Keats-Shelley House a 7-minute walk away.
  • On-site spa and wellness — The hotel has a spa and wellness centre with sauna, steam room and massage, plus a fitness centre — useful extras for a city stay.
  • Consistently strong value score — Value is rated 9.8, and guest reviews highlight the spacious rooms, helpful staff and location.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Facilities score is the outlier — Facilities sits at 7.5, clearly below the other listed categories. The hotel compensates with high scores for rooms, service, comfort and value, but if facilities are your priority, this is the number to weigh.
  • Rate starts at £460 per night — That is a significant outlay before any extras, so this is not a budget stay. The Value score of 9.8 suggests most guests still consider it worthwhile, but the entry price is high.
  • No pets and a fixed check-in window — Pets are not allowed, and check-in is limited to 14:00 to 23:00. Anyone arriving late or wanting to travel with a pet needs to plan around it.
