The Inn at the Spanish Steps is really as their motto says, " one of Rome's best kept secrets " when my family and I arrived we entered through this little door on Via dei Condotti, which by the way if you are a big fan of shopping you would love ,you can find Prada, Gucci, Dolce, Armani, Bulgari and I can go on and on. Anyway The Inn was wonderful a tiny boutique hotel, I think 24 rooms, excellent service by reception staff and lounge bar which is located on the top floor and has a beautiful terrace overlooking Via dei Condotti and Rome, the lounge is also where the very tasty american buffet breakfast is served in the morning, very clean rooms. Overall a great hotel, will return.

Good location but VERY overpriced

We have just returned from a 3 1/2 week trip to Florence, Rome, Positano in Italy and Valencia & Barcelona in Spain and New York City with our 3 boys aged 8-12. By far for the price, this was definitely our biggest disappointment. I was very apprehensive to stay here from the beginning because of the $ and I wasn't sure how much time we would actually be staying in our room. The biggest disappointment was we had specifically requested adjoining rooms since we were having 3 children stay in a room by themselves. I said this was a huge deal breaker for us if they could not accommodate us. They said they could but made us upgrade to a 100 euro, more expensive room. Well, I guess there is a little bit of a language difference on what adjoining/connecting rooms mean. These rooms were not connecting but next to each other. I was extremely disappointed. The rooms were fine and they did have the largest king size bed I have ever seen. It had to be 2 doubles pushed together. We could have easily had 4 if not 5 people in our room with the children, but they would only allow 3 max and 1/2 our bed went unused. The breakfast and hors d'oeuvres were good but you had to pay for the drinks including water, so they kind of get you with that. It was a nice idea though and customary in Europe. Also, I was surprised about the other review about the concierge. The one time we got a referral we had asked for something kid friendly and casual with pizza and they sent us to a restaurant with no kids menu or pizza and was fancy. Luckily we were able to find a place right next door! I think there are better options for your money. Now the most luxurious hotel we stayed in was the Westin in Valencia, Spain, now that was comfort AND our cheapest hotel of the trip WITH adjoining rooms!

fabulous
