Rough Guide
"The rooms of this small three-star surround an orange-tree-filled garden, making it feel far removed from the city."
Fodor's
"This ivy-covered, mansard-roofed, rosy-brick-red, erstwhile Renaissance-era convent is just steps away from the glorious Santa Maria in Trastevere church and a few blocks from the Tiber." Full review
Insight Guides
"A former 17th-century cloister, it has been sympathetically renovated and offers high standards of comfort, as well as a courtyard garden that is an oasis of calm."

For panoramas of the Roman rooftops, ask for a room on the top floor.

"Perched at the top of the Spanish Steps, the classic Hassler has spectacular views and—with more gold and brocade than a Palm Beach dowager—a timeless, stately elegance."
i
To make sure you get your money's worth, ask for a city-side view.
Fodor's

DK Eyewitness
"At the top of the Spanish Steps, this is the glitterati’s choice and the grande dame of Rome’s hotels."
Time Out

Guests seeking quiet should request rooms facing the courtyard, although these tend to be a tad dim.

"Expect all the best old money can buy. Suites appear as though the interior decorator took each furniture and art piece from Hearst Castle."
