Yet even this iconic hotel has its edges. The same reviewer notes that “the food and carpet cleanliness could be improved,” a rare blemish on an otherwise polished stay. For travelers seeking luxury with a side of reality, the Hassler’s terrace views and old-world charm remain undeniable, even if the details aren’t always spotless.

What creators say about the stay
Rooms
- The room has a magnificent view over the Spanish Steps and Rome, with beautiful padded walls, a comfortable bed, and a luxurious bathroom. However, the carpet has noticeable stains and wasn't well vacuumed.
Facilities
- The spa has a secret balcony overlooking the Spanish Steps, but it's currently under renovation with a new 'Stairway to Heaven' pool being built.
Location
- Perfect location at the top of the Spanish Steps with incredible views over Rome, including the Vatican.
Service
- The staff are brilliant and can't do enough for you. They provided handmade chocolates, fresh fruit, and champagne as a welcome gift.
Breakfast
- Breakfast is similar to the other hotel with a bigger choice, but the French toast was very thin. The setting is nice with glass lighting, but the outdoor space wasn't as appealing.
Value for money
- Paid €2,900 for the room without an upgrade, which is more expensive than the other hotel. The mini bar prices are also higher.
