Fontana Hotel Rome  

Fantastic location!! We had a view of the Trevi Fountain from our room!! It's also within walking distance between the Colosseum & Vatican City. Most of the reception staff were very helpful & friendly. The rooms were spotless & comfortable, we had a/c & a ceiling fan so we could close the windows at night becuese the Trevi fountain is on all night till 8-9am when they clean it. We loved the antique decor, it was just enough without being fussy, it's a beautiful hotel. Would definatly go back to Fontana Hotel!

The breakfast was disapointing, it was below the standards we had enjoyed in two other hotels during our holiday in Italy, but the food in Rome does fall below what we had experienced elsewhere. The lady in the breakfast room did not seem happy to be there! She always made us feel like we were in her way & putting her out, used tables stayed uncleared, milk/juice etc were left empty & we were nervous to ask her to refill them!! The breakfast room is amazing, it's on the top floor with a view of the fountain.

The staff were fantastic, friendly and very accomodating. The building had a great historic vibe without feeling old and outdated. The breakfast was great and the beds were comfortable. What more could I ask for? The location didn't hurt either! What great views from the breakfast room. If we come back to Roma we will stay here!

Double room is a hole and the bathroom even more little.

Our room was very small and so was shower, but this was more than made up by the wonderful view of Trevi Fountain, both from the room and the breakfast area. We didn't go to see the hotel, but we saw what we wanted. Bidet shold have been left out of the bathroom so there was room to stand or make the shower bigger. Would come back again, great location, and great value for money. Thanks to staff for being helpful.

Nice hotel in the heart of the city, near Trevi Fountain. Rooms are not big but comfortable. It should be understood that the fountain at night do not turn off and the noise (not intrusive) can interfere with sleep.

The central location and vicinity of the Trevi fountain are it's main initial attractions. The area around the hotel and fountain have a cheerful and pleasant feel, even out of season. The staff at the hotel are friendly, and prepaired to help, even a monolingual englishman. Special thanks to Nicola for his enrichment of my visit to Rome.

Location

The view on the fountain, and its perfect location (at oedestrian distance from all the monuments)!

This is a quaint historical hotel with its biggest attraction being its location and the history of the establishment and (see below) its view. The staff were very helpful and friendly (Especially Issac) An added bonus was English is spoken fluently

The size of the rooms and unfortunately there was scaffolding preventing the view

Lovely romantic small hotel -you cant get better than the Trevi fountain lulling you to sleep at night. "Very Room with a View " Staff helpful and very friendly. Great location. The terrace is truely magical for breakfast. I travel in Italy a lot I am half Italian and very rarely stay at the same place twice but on this occaision I will return Dr Nick Malpeli

The Fontana Hotel literally sits right in front of the Trevi Fountain, one of the most visited landmarks in all of Rome. This made for lots of excitement and great people watching. The location is also fantastic in terms of its proximity to many of Rome's greatest attractions, all of which are within a comfortable walking distance. Some of these include: the Coliseum, the Pantheon, the Forum, and the Vatican. Considering its wonderful location right in the heart of Rome, our family thought it was a very good value for the money. The hotel staff was cordial, and we thought the bellman, Isaac, was especially helpful.

While the hotel's proximity to the Trevi Fountain was fine for our family, I think the high level of noise and activity just outside one's window at all hours of the day and night could be bothersome to some guests. In addition, we were never told when we made our reservation that there was construction going on at the hotel, which included scaffolding that completely blocked the view from our room and from the breakfast room as well. The hotel is adequately appointed and suited our needs just fine, but it is not luxurious and the amenities are quite basic. This included the breakfast, which was adequate, but nothing special.

Location great. Can walk to Spanish steps Parthenon and of course the fountain is there. At first I felt the staff were rude but then I realized it was the Italian demeanor. Everyone was helpful. Breakfast good. All basics are met. Mood is very Italian and the area is lively with lots of cafes and shops. Hotel had some charm.

Hotel a bit dingy. I grew fond of it during my 3 night stay though and later enjoyed it for it's old world atmosphere . Sort of bohemian chic. I did not like the small shower however. Ac worked and lots of antiques in room.
