I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms are gorgeous with stunning views of the Spanish Steps and a large terrace looking out across the rooftops of Rome. The service was exceptional, and the location is unbeatable, close to everything you wish to visit including great dinner spots. However, the dining experience left something to be desired as the grilled dishes were not as tasty as I had hoped. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything one could need for a luxurious stay in Rome.
