Not suitable for guests with limited mobility
Part boutique hotel, part guest house, the Moses Fountain offers a refreshing break from the cookie-cutter chain hotel experience. Housed in a 16th-century edifice that was once part of the city's aqueduct system, the Moses lacks most of the amenities of a typical hotel, including a lobby, elevator, restaurant, or 24-hour front desk staff. Nonetheless, six guest rooms are spacious and individually decorated with many stylish details. The steep staircases here may be too challenging for folks with mobility issues.
Scene
Nondescript entrance leading to individualized rooms
The hotel is located directly behind the baroque Moses Fountain on a street lined with orange trees. Guests enter through a nondescript rustic wooden door on one side and climb several flights of stone steps to reach their rooms, each of which has an individualized look and color scheme. Note that there’s no reception area.
Location
Near an array of tourist sights and close to the Repubblica metro
Moses Fountain Hotel is situated in a bustling area of Rome filled with corporate headquarters and financial institutions, which also means there are many restaurants and shops to serve the working population. Villa Borghese, Rome's central park, and the Spanish Steps are both a 15-minute walk away, while getting to Via Vittorio Veneto takes a 10-minute stroll. The metro station at Piazza della Repubblica is a short trek south and Termini Station, the city's central railway, is also within walking distance.
Rooms
Well-stocked and spacious with special names for each room
Rooms are large, quiet, and beautifully decorated in a contemporary style that contrasts with the historic surroundings. Each of the six rooms have unique names like Velvet Indigo, Theresa’s Sofa, Swanky Cardinal, and Turtle Dove. Modern amenities include comfortable beds, flat-screen TVs, and complimentary minibars that are re-stocked with snacks and beverages each day. Luxurious tiled bathrooms include rain showers, large soaking tubs, and upscale towels and toiletries.** **
