I thought the room in the annex was very nice, very comfortable and clean. The location itself is very nice. The breakfast is good and the personnel very helpful and friendly.

I didn't like being in the annex as it feels like we are separate to the main hotel. Room is great, but the facilities of the main hotel are effectively off-limits given the trek to get there. Going to breakfast, you need to be fully dressed and ready to go, otherwise you have a long trek up and down the steps. My wife was very happy with all of it so it is a subjective thing.

The property was in a building just a few steps away from main building and reception as advertised… the location was amazing on top of the spanish steps … from one of the windows before my room I could also see Piazza Spagna … the metro Spagna was within walking distance - the room was very comfortable, bathroom included a shower, toilet and bidet as well as wash hand basis .. the room had AC (heating as I was there in Dec) as well as WiFi - 4 free bottles of water per day … Riccardo at reception was very helpful … very good breakfast buffet from 07:00 on the (enclosed) terrace

Nothing really to fault maybe just that the shower cubicle was a little small and not much space to move around

Myself, husband and 2 boys (aged 9 and 11) stayed for a week, and it was amazing. The location is absolutely perfect!! Literally on top of the Spanish steps. We were able to walk to all different areas of Rome very easily. The hotel itself exceeded expectations - staff was very friendly, rooms were very clean, and the beds were so comfortable! (Arguably the most comfortable beds we have ever had in a hotel). We booked the adjoining rooms with balcony - worked perfectly for our family. There was an extra bed in our room (a sitting area would have been preferred - however, we were able to sit in the rooftop terrace/breakfast room in the evenings if we wanted, and it was just a few steps away). The breakfast every morning was a great start to the day - staff was very friendly, and there was something for everyone. A lot of care was put into the breakfast. Would HIGHLY recommend Hotel Scalinata for anyone visiting Rome!

Nothing!

Room was amazing!! beautiful place to stay on rome can walk everywhere even heard the opera singers through the windows was fantastic.

there main office was up 50 steps that included were our breakfast was . We had someone meet us in the parking lot and quickly babbled on how to open the 3 doors needed to get into our room but forgot to add who to leave the keys to when we left. Biggest issue was if you want to charge those prices for a beautiful room someone should clean all the door frames and walls beacause they are disgustingly dirty

Very central, staff very helpful and friendly, would stay there again.

Didn’t like having to drink our hot tea and coffee in paper cups in the room would prefer china cup or mug

Our room was in the annex building, which is on the piazza, while the main building was at the top of the Spanish Steps. We were in a corner room, so we had 2 balconies. The hotel is in a great location surrounded by restaurants, designer stores, the Metro, a taxi stand, and a delicious gelato shop.

For breakfast we had to go to the main building and climb the steps (many) behind the Spanish Steps. But, no worries, we figured out quickly that it was easier to take the elevator at Spagna Metro and one small flight of stairs to get to the top. Also, the hotel gives you the option of bringing breakfast to you.

We loved our stay at Hotel Scalinata Di Spagna! We were a group of three starting our 9 day Mediterranean cruise that had us starting 2 nights in Rome. We were upgraded (out of nowhere) to the BEAUTIFUL room 131 that has it’s on private terrace overlooking Rome. We came back to our room a little early each night to sit on our terrace and have drinks and just enjoy our views. Our bathroom was clean and nice, good size shower. Our room was very large with a comfortable king and the pullout bed was very comfortable as well. AC worked well. The hotel is right next to the Spanish steps and very walkable to Treva Fountain, Parthenon, and several landmarks. We also booked private van transfers from Rome Airport to our hotel, and then private transportation from the hotel to the Port of Civitavecchia - booked via Hotel Scalinata. It was very economical and comfortable traveling via Mercedes Sprinter vans. The owner checked us out on our last day and he was so nice and truly every worker there. If/when we come back to Rome, we will be staying here again and requesting room 131! I’d still stay here even if i didn’t have that beautiful room. Oh, and the breakfast is great. They serve scrambled eggs and bacon in addition to the Italian classic breakfast which is heavy on pastries and sliced deli meats. 1000000/10!!

There was nothing we didn’t like

We loved everything about this hotel! It's perfectly located - it's close to all major sites in Rome and to Vatican, it's next to the Spagna metro stop, and close to Termini (either by metro or by taxi). We were in the annex building and I think it was even better than the main building - we had a spacious, corner room, overlooking the square just next to the Spanish Stairs. The room was nicely decorated and super clean, and it had two small balconies. We came to Rome for my birthday and the whole stay was amazing. The owners and the staff were super professional, helpful, kind, talkative, always smiling, and with a great sense of humour. And they made a great birthday surprise for me, which only made the whole trip even more special! I've been to Rome many times, always staying in a different hotel in a different part of the city, but this hotel is definitely the place I will come back to! Grazie mille to the owners and the staff again for our wonderful stay! Karolina (and Marcin)
