Hotel Scalinata Di Spagna

Location and breakfast

The hotel is perfectly situated right next to the Spanish Steps in Rome. Regarding the room, I have two minor observations: first, the space was a bit compact, and second, the excessive number of paintings felt a little overwhelming for the eyes.​Aside from that, the breakfast was quite satisfactory, featuring fresh fruit, granola, juices, and delicious, warm croissants. The presence of staff at the reception desk right by the entrance provides a strong sense of security. The lady who introduced me to my room deserves a special mention, as her delightful energy and hospitality made my stay truly memorable.

Location is near Spanish steps and quiet while still near good shops, restaurants, walking distance to Vatican is possible.

Renovations were happening while we were there and we were not told until we arrived. I booked this hotel because the breakfast room had views over Rome. This was closed. There were tradesman working till 11:30pm at night, often talking loudly beyond that. The toilet didn't flush, one of our rooms leaked water from the bathroom upstairs. The foyer is badly designed with not enough room to pass easily. Making that more difficult was tradesman redoing the staircase in the foyer, 1metre from the front door. I thought this was very unfair that I was charged full price.

Great location, lovely breakfast and very friendly staff

Location- just above the spanish staires.Grait staff, nice rooms and the bestvpart is the garden. Even in a rainy day it was a quit and prity place ib the center of rome

The location is very convenient. The hotel is comfortable and rooms are well decorated. The breakfast is very good according to Rome hotels. They are very kind people. It is the best among its price range hotels.

There was nothing I didnt like about

Location and staff were great. Room was very small, especially compared with our traveling companions who paid the same price for a room three times as large. Shower was tiny and extremely difficult to use. If you like quirky this is the place for you - entering your room from the street, needing three keys to get to your room, having a room with no right angles, and having an oversized step to get up to the bathroom might be charming to some, but not for us.

See above.

Its position, quietude and service

The access to the annex was not satisfactory and there was no room telephone to contact reception

You don’t have to look for another hotel unless you are willing to pay at least double or even triple what you pay at this wonderful boutique hotel.You are in the best location in Rome on top of the piazza D’Spagne where you can almost walk to all the attractions and enjoy the lovely restaurants and beautiful boutiques.The staff are super helpful and friendly, including the owner who makes you feel at home.The rooms are elegant and very functional with a super modern bathroom equivalent to a 5 star hotel.

We liked everything at this hotel and we highly recommend it .

Good location

They have an annex in another building & the walls were like paper,,, could here everything the inconsiderate guests next door did & said ,,, and the hot water pipes rattled whenever anyone else in the building ran the water

We had a well appointed room in a different building from the main hotel overlooking Piazza di Spagna. It was modern and comfortable in a superb position. The room was clean and bright with beautiful linen on the beds. We loved it. The staff were very helpful in every way.

The main property is very dated. The pillows on the beds were dreadful. The distance from the main hotel is inconvenient.

Beautiful balcony, lovely room but it was in a different building so not very convenient to checking in or out.Mariam was fantastic, very friendly and extremely professional. She is a credit to the hotel. The other staff were fine.

The room was nice but not worth the money. There were dirty marks on the walls. It would have been okay but much too expensive for that room in a different building.

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)

We loved the location. I have stayed here a few times now. The staff were lovely and so helpful.

Our room was very small but honestly it was fine as we only slept there. Everything else made up for it.

Everything, except having the room in a different building

For the price we paid, the room and the rest of the hotel could have been a little closer. Quite some walk and many steps to get to the breafast area in the other building.

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

Location Staff Roof terrace Good breakfast

Compact room outside the hotel but I did not check this

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.
