Hotel Fontana

Location is Perfect if you want to get in front of Fontana di Trevi, colosseum, Vang Gogh museum, altare di la patria.- The room was Ok at least have A/C but the bathroom if i can call that a bathroom was terrible.-

This hotel was in a great spot located right across from the beautiful Trevi fountain. Not all rooms have the view of the foundation, ours didn’t so we were disappointed at first but quickly realized we weren’t going to spend that much time in there anyway. It’s a charming old building, service was great, location was the best part.

You think it's a great location w/the Trevi Fountain right in front of the hotel. The first 5 minutes you are in awe and then it wears off quickly. The crowds are insane-trying to get to the hotel entrance navigating through the masses is a feat in itself. Then you have a dozen or so standing on the steps of the hotel trying to get a better look at the fountain, while juggling bags. Not fun. And this happens every time you leave or try to come back into the hotel. The hotel is old, yes. And I thought well that will make it so quaint and authentic. But it is just run-down. We had a room with a view of the Trevi which was magical, but after looking out at it the first hour, it didn't make the actual room worth the view. The bathroom was horrendous (including pics). Towel rack missing bolts, toilet seat with a huge crack on one side and mold in shower and on the walls. Not good. The upstairs breakfast area was lovely to sit and look out through the big windows. Food was mediocre at best. The staff played Rock Music loudly while you dined on your breakfast. First thing in the morning, I don't want to listen to rock music. The juxtaposition of looking out at beautiful architecture with Rock music pumped throughout the room......not fab for the senses. The staff was nice and helpful. I'm naive thinking Airport Transfer was part of the hotel service. It was a fee of 65 euros each way. The driver would not accept credit cards once we arrived at the hotel at 10:00 PM, I had him running around with me trying to keep pace to find an ATM machine. I absolutely do not recommend it. Especially for the pricing. The beauty of Rome is walking around and taking in the sights. You don't need to stay smack in the middle of the crowds. So much potential.......such a shame. The owner needs to take care of this property. The pix of cracked toilet greeted us with tissue paper when we entered the room for the first time. Black Muck is in the shower.

I liked the location and the fact that I could see the Trevi fountain from my window. The hotel is ubicated in front of the fountain. After a few nights the noise when you open the room window begins to bore you. Because every day there are crowds all day till late at night. So if you are looking for a quiet room, this is probably not it. But if ypu don't mind the noise outside and the busy area, then it is perfect. There are several other landmarks within walking distance from the hotel. If you want to take pictures without crowds, you have to get up very early and take them before the crowds start again.

This is what dreams are made of ✨ My boyfriend decided to treat us to cocktails at the Hotel Fontana, Trevi Rooftop bar. As we looked at the information beforehand you aren’t guaranteed a window seat but as we went up the stairs to the rooftop bar to our amazement there was no one there and we managed to get the one and only window seat. It felt like a dream enjoying a cocktail overlooking the beautiful Trevi fountain I was in awe. We both enjoyed a Jam Jar Daiquiri It sounded so unique and it didn’t take long to arrive but wow that taste was perfect! This along with the scenic view meant it couldn’t have been better. As we were enjoying the evening in Rome so much we decided to have another cocktail, I opted for Vanilla Spring, a sweet number. It was also incredible to see the trevi fountain in the day and the transformation at night when the fountain becomes illuminated.
