As someone who often relies on reviews when choosing accommodations, I have never taken the time to write one myself. However, my recent stay at Borromini truly deserves recognition.
The location is absolutely perfect—right in the heart of the historic center, surrounded by vibrant energy and within easy walking distance of iconic attractions like the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain. If a 19-minute stroll feels a bit much in the summer heat, there are countless charming restaurants along the way where you can pause for a refreshing Spritz (as we happily did on more than one occasion).
Our room: Initially, I was concerned that a 161-square-foot room might feel cramped, especially as we were traveling with two suitcases, two carry-ons, and a partner who enjoys spreading out her cosmetics. Fortunately, we were assigned the largest of the classic rooms (#401), and the space proved to be surprisingly comfortable. The bathroom was spacious enough for two people, and everything was spotless; daily housekeeping kept the room immaculate throughout our stay.
Staff: Every team member we encountered spoke excellent English and was consistently polite, attentive, and eager to assist with any requests. Their warm hospitality made us feel genuinely welcome.
Breakfast was included in our stay, and the offerings consisted of cold cuts, cheeses, breads, cakes, pastries, the typical American bacon, and eggs. Beverage-wise, coffee. tea, juices, and still or sparkling water were being served.
