Albergo Azzurra

My girlfriend and I stayed at Hotel Azzurra for a week and we loved the hotel. The management are really cool and were so helpful with so many great suggestions as to what to see and do. The rooms are a nice size. The place is not super fancy, but has an old school Italian charm to it that we loved. Not sure about the other rooms, but our room had an awesome view of the cute little street that the hotel is on.
Regarding what another reviewer said about the slow/​wonky elevator, I’ll just say that it’s «old school Italian» and we we had a laugh every time we rode in it… If you’re after the Ritz, I know they have very nice rooms there (and a fast elevator) but the last time I checked they are charging just a tiny bit more than the price of Hotel Azzurra. The bed was very comfortable and there is a cleaner everyday and there is a free espresso and pastry every morning to get your day started. For us the biggest selling point was the location… minutes walk to Trevi fountain and the Spanish Steps, and a little bit of a walk for everything else to see in the City. We think it’s a little gem of a place and will definitely be staying there our next trip to Rome (unless we win the lotto and then we will be staying at the Ritz.) I hope this review is helpful.

Note: now called «Hotel Azzurra», but not sure they deserve that name upgrade.
Falling apart — elevator consistently jolts you and gets stuck when going down and feels very unsafe. Breakfast was the worst that I had in Europe — the croissant tasted like something would get from a donut place in the US.
Management was very unfriendly as well and ended up charging me an additional amount not included in my contract with them. The contract stated total price including all taxes and fees was an amount and they said there were additional fees not included — BEWARE.
