A lovely hotel in a truly great location - five minutes to the Spanish Steps seconds away from Rome's best shopping street. Staff friendly, knowledgeable and helpful e.g. they reminded us about booking a taxi to the airport and by the time we walked from reception to our room our tv was on and an e-mail confirmation of the booking... more

We stayed at this hotel 3 years ago and loved the location and helpful staff. We brought our two children (ages 18 & 23) with us for this visit and wanted to book our hotel rooms for our vacation in Italy and France as suites rather than 2 full price rooms. This hotel doesn't have a suite so we asked... more

We stayed in room 203 for 7 nights in September 2007. Room 203 was clean, quiet and average sized. The shower had the best water pressure I have seen in a European hotel and you could take a shower without soaking the rest of the bathroom. Hotel staff was helpful with all questions. The location was excellent. We were able... more

Of all the places we visited in Italy we got the nicest greeting from Kaled at the front desk. He gave us a map and highlighted all the sites we could do in one day/two nights. The room was small but OK. We wanted a courtyard but got a street view. It was noisy until 1am because there is a... more

Elegant - beautiful - great location - wonderful service - reasonably priced for what you get. My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and loved it! I was a little surprised to read other reviews noting the smallish size of the rooms -- of course this is typical of European hotels. I found it to be... more

We stayed in a quad room with our 2 children. Compared with pricing in other hotels, this was a good value, although the quad room was very cramped (I think the other rooms have a little more space). The shower is amazingly small--I have decided that everyone in Rome is skinny not to fit into the stylish fashions but just... more

Well appointed hotel; charming bedrooms, gorgeous sitting and dining room and delicious breakfast. Our family of four ( 2 teenagers) had 2 rooms & stayed for 5 nights and found it perfectly located. Close to all the key sites and some gorgeous eateries and shops. You look straight up the road to the Spanish Steps. We found the staff extremely... more

You won't find this hotel - near Ponte Cavour and opposite Palazzo Borghese - on any hotel booking sites as - like its nearby sister hotel Due Torri - it's privately owned. This shows through in the exceptionally friendly welcome and immaculate presentation. The hotel (formerly known as Pensione Mistrali) has been recently renovated, including the addition of (much needed)... more

We've stayed at the Fontanella Borghese three times, first in 2002 and most recently for a week on October 2006. Although we paid the same rate in euros this stay as we did in 2002, the room was quite a bit more expensive due to the weakness of the U.S. dollar. In some compensation, we found the desk staff even... more
