Trevi 41 Hotel

The Trevi 41 Hotel is a well-maintained, cheerful option that’s a decent value for the money, given this incredibly popular part of town. Although space is limited – common areas are limited to a small reception room – the hotel makes the best with what it has. Management goes out of its way to make it a personal affair, and previous guests note being remembered by name throughout their stay. Though rooms may be on the small side, they’re clean and well-maintained, with elegant fabric wall paneling and chic white furniture combining to create a pleasant vibe. No historical features have been retained, but the main building dates back to the 16th century, and its location on one of central Rome’s most popular romantic cobblestone streets sets the tone for exploring the city. The hotel draws couples and families alike from the U.S, U.K., and South America, with more business guests frequenting in low season.

Trevi 41 Hotel has an excellent central location along the romantic (but busy) cobblestone streets of ancient Rome. While the street itself is now packed with souvenir shops and tourist traps, staff is happy to offer plenty of suggestions for authentic dining. It’s just a two-minute walk to the Trevi Fountain, and other main attractions aren’t far away: the Spanish Steps, Piazza Venezia, Quirinal Palace, and the Pantheon are all less than 10 minutes from the hotel on foot. The Colosseum is around a 20-minute walk, while the Vatican is a 15-minute taxi ride. Both Ciampino and Fiumicino Airports are just under 40 minutes away by car. 

Rooms at Trevi 41 Hotel are clean and comfortable, with attractive fabric wall paneling, chic white furniture, and cozy white quilted headboards. Although a bit on the small side, a relaxed vibe, memory foam mattresses, and soundproofing make for a pleasant stay. All rooms come with mini-fridges containing free bottled water, plus electric kettles, flat-screen TVs with free Sky TV programming (even the movies are free and come in all different languages), individually controlled AC and heating, free safes, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are immaculately clean, with tasteful gray and blue tiling (main building) or mosaic tiling (annex building), and most have rainfall showers. 

Rooms are spread across two buildings: there are 16 in the main building and eight housed in the annex (accessed via a spiral staircase). Annex rooms are cheaper, but to the same standard as the main rooms (save slightly more traditional decor), making them even better value for the money. Standard Rooms are smaller, while Superior Rooms have more space and come with Nespresso machines. Some Superior Rooms are laid out as triples, accommodating up to three adults. Be sure to check with the hotel if you'd like a view of the Trevi Fountain, as this is only available in some units.

Facilities and public areas of this hotel are admittedly limited; there isn’t a breakfast room or any common spaces other than reception. Guests who want breakfast can order it the night before and have it delivered to their room at a time of their choice. Breakfast is included in rates booked via the hotel's website – it’s a continental affair that includes toast and croissants with jam, fresh fruit, a selection of cereals, cold cuts, juice, and coffee. The Wi-Fi is free throughout, and though there’s paid public parking around the corner, guests are usually directed to a significantly cheaper garage that’s a 10-minute walk away.
