Certainly one of the most beautiful breakfast rooms in all of Rome since it overlooks the Trevi fountain!
A unique location, right in front of the Trevi Fountain. Don't look here for an elaborate design, but rather for a peaceful and authentically Roman stay. The rooms have an old-fashioned charm that makes them ideal for a romantic getaway. A big plus of the establishment is the breakfast served on a terrace on the top floor with a view of the fountain; the bar and restaurant service is also available here every day and open to all upon reservation. A magical atmosphere, for a very "Fellinian" stay.

We stayed here for 8 nights. As soon as we walked through the front door we were welcomed with a smile and helping hands. The staff were amazing! Helpful beyond what I have ever experienced in any other hotel. They were one of the highlights of our Italy trip. That aside the only con to the area around the hotel is the enormous crowds at the Trevi fountain and the noise they would make all night, but please keep in mind this is out of the control of the hotel! Even though we could hear people all night we would most definitely stay there again. It is located in such a romantic spot where you can open your window and have the Trevi Fountain all to yourself from your room. The breakfast at the hotel was delicious and evening drinks facing the fountain was gorgeous. The area around the hotel is safe and you can walk around at any hour of the day or night without concern. I have to conclude with this. To the staff at Hotel Fontana, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!

Aunque la ubicación es magnífica, el hotel es pésimo. Necesita una gran reforma para ser aceptable.

I chose this hotel for its view of the Trevi Fountain, but I regretted it. The room, in need of renovation, was too old, with a strong sewage smell and cold temperatures. The shower in the tiny bathroom is so small, about 60cm square, that you have to bend over to pick up the shampoo bottle from the floor. You can see how outdated the rooms are in the photos. If you're curious about the view here, you can pay a 25 euro entrance fee per person and enjoy a 15 euro drink to be able to look down at the Trevi from the small and shabby breakfast area on the 5th floor.
On the last day, the taxi driver called by the hotel seemed to be on familiar terms with the hotel staff. He drove back and forth across the center line, stopped at the taxi company to buy an airport entrance ticket, and despite the meter showing 60 euros, he shamelessly demanded a tip and received more. Other taxis had notices saying the flat rate between the airport and Rome is 50 euros, but I didn't want to argue with the driver, who seemed to have a terrible attitude, so I just gave him what he asked for. Not keen on visiting Rome again.

Overall: Positive! Just know what you're getting. I would absolutely go back, but I would always pay extra for a room with a view of the fountain.
We had a gorgeous view of the fountain and we would just admire it from our room at random times of the day or night. The staff was lovely, beds were clean and comfy, breakfast in the morning was delicious with lots of meats and cheeses and little pastries. Important to note, there are only 2 small window seats at breakfast where you can see the fountain. So going to breakfast is not a guarantee, and if your room doesn't have a view of the fountain then you're paying a lot of money for just having the fountain nearby.
The bathroom was VERY small. I am a 5'3" girl who wears pants in a size 10-12, and I could barely fit in the bathtub. It definitely wasn't comfortable. And the bathwater was... pretty lukewarm. But again, I wasn't there for the bathroom so I didn't care.
They'll store your luggage, but it's just stored in the hallway by the elevator so it's not really "secure" if you're worried about that. But we had no issues.
Again, we REALLY liked it here, but also knew ahead of time based on reviews what to expect. Hopefully you will too!

Partiamo dal fatto che io sono venuto per lavoro ed ho prenotato una singola, da Booking ad un prezzo ottimo, considerando che stavo dormendo al centro di Roma, in quanto il giorno dopo avevo un incontro in una sala nei pressi del Quirinale, a pochi passi dall’hotel.
La stanza mi ha sorpreso in quanto piccola, molto piccola, con un letto da 1 piazza e 1/2 appoggiato al muro. Il bagno minuscolo, con una doccia con il telo (non la vedevo da anni) ed un erogatore dell’acqua troppo datato (troppo!). Oggettivamente, ancora non ho capito dove si accendesse la luce del bagno, incredibile!
La mia camera inoltre dava sul cortile interno, quindi nemmeno l’ ombra di questa decantata Fontana…solo il rumore, tanto, incessante, dopo un po’ fastidioso.
A colmare il “vuoto” di questa esperienza però c’è la sala colazione (con un buon assortimento di pietanze) che permette una vista davvero unica sulla fontana di Trevi…bella, bellissima. Che dire…un bilancio medio!
