We spent a few nights at the Fontanella Borghese in Rome in September, and it went beyond my expectations. Location is terrific, just a few blocks from Spanish Steps and close to Pantheon/Piazza Navona. Staff was great - I alone spoke English, Portuguese and Italian with them! They gave us great suggestions for restaurants and booked reservations, called cabs, etc.... More

Absolutly helpful, 100% fluent in english receptionists, willing to draw you on map which you get there any place you wanna go, with bus stops and metro. Very comfortable rooms, great clean bathrooms, with AC working very pleasantly all the time. Location is just unreplaceable. Absolutely everywhere a turist would wish to go, you can go on foot. Walking distance... More

This was the third time that we stayed at the Fontanella Borghese. The hotel has a great central location and is within walking distance of most tourist sites. Reasonably priced considering the location. However the downside is that there is a small slow elevator and the rooms arer small. The rooms are old and not luxiurious but considering the price...

We stayed at this hotel upon arriving in Rome. The entry way into the hotel looked nicer than the interior of the rooms. The hotel might also be a little tricky to find since it is inside a gated courtyard (sometimes it's open) on the second floor. There is a miniature elevator for you to send your luggage up in...

This hotel was filthy and the ac did not work. We checked-in, went to the room and immediately checked out. The gentleman at the front desk would not refund our money and we had to pay for another hotel. He actually was extremely rude and made my daughter and me very uncomfortable. I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone. More

My wife and I stayed two nights June 7-8 on our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Rome. The cost was reasonable and the location -- walking distance to Piazza Novella, the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and Spanish Steps -- was even better. What sold me on the hotel was a recommendation in Frommers that... More

we enjoyed the location of this little boutique hotel in the heart of Rome. It lacks a restaurant, and some of the other amenities you might expect in a bigger property, but makes up for it with a friendly staff, great location, and comfortable rooms. More

The Hotel Fontanella Borghese is well-located, has excellent service, and has clean, small rooms -- a positive formula for success in central Rome. However, among 20 two and three star hotels in Italy, we found this by far the most minimal breakfast -- an embarrassment to Italian hospitality and certainly to these owners. Packaged cheese, packaged lunch meat, absence of... More

Located halfway between the Spanish Steps and Vatican City, Borghese Hotel strives to make every guest's stay the most enjoyable. A nice continental breakfast starts your day off on a good note, and the myriad of good restaurants within 100 yeards makes a great ending to each day. Hotel sits back off of street, and entrance is thru a courtyard... More

This was a wonderful choice for our stay in Rome. The hotel is centrally located, minutes from the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps. Its not a fancy place: the hotel is on the third floor, but the rooms are good sized, clean, comfortable beds, and relatively quiet given the central location. The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly.... More
