"Lovely stay in the heart of Rome next to spanish steps, only improvement I would make is to get higher quality orange juice for the breakfast as the orange juice taste was very watery , also the white bread could be better, brown bread was lovely!!"

“This is a very interesting property, you're steps away from the Spanish Steps, but tucked away from the crowds. I like that the design incorporates the building's history with modern comforts, which is a difficult balance to strike, and I think they nailed it. Plus, who wouldn't want a rooftop terrace in Rome?”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Code Hotel enjoys a fabulous location, right on top of the Spanish Steps, with the Trevi Fountain also within easy walking distance. Guests consistently highlight the spacious and clean rooms, and some rooms even offer balconies with views of the Spanish Steps. A metro station, Spagna, is conveniently located about 100 meters away. While the breakfast offers a good variety, a few guests have noted that the quality could be improved.

Excellent Location Near Spanish Steps

metro station good shower comfortable room

The hotel sits near to the Spanish Steps. I found a metro station about 100 meters away, that was Spagna. The room included a very good shower pressure. The room was big, I consider it comfortable.

I noticed the room had an awkward situation. Marble stairs go down to the living space immediately upon entering. The bedroom was up a short flight of stairs, it was tiny. The mattress felt hard.

Service

9/10

Staff provided maps at the concierge, I thought it was helpful. They order taxis for visitors. The staff was polite. I consider that the service was quite good.
