Honestly, the location is perfect, the rooms have exactly the same magical view as shown in the photos, and you can choose your room if you book a few weeks in advance.

The hotel is old, the breakfast is varied, the staff is amazing, especially the breakfast ladies, and the views are unbeatable if you upgrade to a room with a view of the Trevi Fountain; you can see it from the dining room where breakfast is served.

The mattress in the room stinks so much that it is impossible to sleep, the toilet is designed so ****** that it is impossible to use it, there is NO hot water in the room, you will have to wash with cold water!

The beds are hard and old, the bathroom is old, the furniture inside is old, everything about the hotel is old.

Value517Weak spot
For the added expense of the view, it was worth it, but the cost of the stay overall was not worth what the hotel offered

In Summary, yes it is a nice, individual view of the Trevi but it is not worth it.

The hotel was fantastic right by the Trevi Fountain you walk out the door and the Fountain was there .the only draw back was it was a bit noisy but it didn't bother us .The Bin men came about 5.30ish and the delivery's for the restaurant about 6.30 to 7.30 .but it wouldn't stop me booking it again .

Rooms need urgent urgent urgent renovation and isolation, the public toilet from the terrace bar is directly next to the room and you hear everything from the people in the bathroom.

I stayed on floor 3 and it was a bit noisy with foot traffic and voices in the morning, but my room was near the entrance to the upstairs hotel bar.

Problems in the bathroom26 of 2751 in 11 reviews
Location is amazing and I understand its a very old building but there's no excuse for poor housekeeping like replacement of a broken toilet seat or holes in the floor.my sons room was extremely smelly due to being located to the public bathroom and also very noisy when guests where using it.

bathroom smells like sewer and could hear sounds when someone uses toilet on adjacent bathroom.

The power points in the room didn’t work properly, the staff were not at all helpful and when we requested help it felt like they were laughing at us and being deliberately obstructive.
