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.

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!

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

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

We loved staying at the hotel. Fabrisio runs an excellent staff and accommodations. There is always someone manning the desk day and night. They are attentive and aware of your stay there. The staff cleans the rooms at a high level of cleanliness. The personal that takes care of the daily breakfast does it with pride and care. Everything is set out in the morning to perfection. They offer a breakfast that includes scrambled eggs, bacon, Vienna sausages, croissants, cakes, cereal, mini muffins, fruit, toast, coffee, there is an espresso maker, water, milk, and other pastries. For a family of four with high school kids this is ideal. They offer laundry service, 4 waters daily. The room had a mini fridge as well as access to Netflix and other streaming apps. Air conditioning worked well. The location of the hotel is excellent as it sits on top of the Spanish steps. There are two restaurants adjacent to the hotel with excellent service and staff. The restaurant below the hotel makes excellent mixed drinks.

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

Staff were very helpful and friendly, and the location was excellent. It was a great breakfast

We got put in an annexe in a separate building ,a bit of a faff to go to breakfast

location ,cleanliness , staff and owner were great. They were always and always wanted to make sure we were happy and our needs attended to.

not a thing

The location and staff were great

This hotel has rooms in another building @ the bottom of the Spanish steps. This is where our room was, it was lovely, but to go to the breakfast you had to hike up all those steps in the am…it was not convenient. Everything else was great!

The location was perfect. Right at the top of the Spanish Steps, just half a block from the elevator that takes you down to the Metro. Easy walking distance to the major Rome central sites we wanted to visit. The breakfast buffet was excellent and diverse each day, with scrambled eggs, breads, pastries, fruit, yogurt, cereal, juice, coffee... All delicious.

It is a very old building, so access to the dining room was by a staircase, not elevator. But access to our room was easy via elevator.
