Modigliani

This splurge-worthy three-star hotel provides an elegant experience for a good value in a fantastic location between the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. The scenic garden and upscale feel can make it worth a few extra euros.

Situated on a quiet side street, the Hotel Modigliani is sandwiched between the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Villa Borghese. While its rates fall near the top end of EuroCheapo’s budget, the three-star property offers a great value for its location and four-star feel. The Hotel Modigliani’s 23 rooms are not huge, but they gleam with freshly polished marble floors. The photos on the walls depict the many faces of Rome, and most were taken by the owner and former guests. After your stay, you can even send in your own best shots (just no Colosseum photos, please!).

All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a mini-fridge, TV and soundproof windows. A few have balconies with views of St. Peter’s and Piazza Venezia (ask ahead). All bathrooms are private and come with toiletries and a hair dryer.

The Hotel Modigliani offers a lovely garden and a spacious lounge with a drop-down screen for spontaneous film screenings and football games. There’s also a bar area in the basement.

Breakfast is included in the room rate, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, including in the rooms.
