We recently stayed one night at the Boutique Hotel Trevi. I had researched the hotel and read some postive and negative reviews on here as well. For the most part, some of the points on here proved correct while others did not...but of course, everyone has different experiences. Because of the short duration of our stay, we choose the hotel on the basis of its location more than any other factor. The hotel is in a great spot. You are literally a 1/2 a block (if that much) from the Trevi Fountain. While the area was busy...the noise was not an issue - we stayed on the 5th floor. I had read the complaints about the 'small rooms' but of course that is not uncommon for the area. We had reserved a "quad room" for our family and it was a nice size and not cramped. The room was nicely furnished and resembled pictures on the hotel website. As far as the shower goes..we had requested a room specifically with a tub so that we could avoid the previously mentioned 'drain issues' -with the showers that have a floor drain...but it did not matter..the tub leaked water on the floor from underneath. Apparently the seal underneath must not be in good shape. We had to utilize our 'used' bath towels to keep the water in check. So, this appears to be a problem with at least some of the rooms in this hotel. The air conditioning worked fine in our room. We found the breakfast room to be inviting and the selection of foods to be better than expected. It's not a 'grand buffet' but there were a number of items to choose from and was arranged very nicely. Upon checking into the hotel, the front desk person was very helpul and provided some good information. When returning later in the evening to the hotel, another person was on duty and he was not as outgoing and although he answered some questions he was not seemingly very interested. This may be the person who has been referred to here in the past as being 'unhelpful'. He was not rude, but he was not as interested in conversing as the other person was. Overall we were pleased with the hotel and its great location. If we had stayed for longer than one night, the issue with the shower leaking would have been more of a problem but we just decided to 'brush it off' and not let it sour the experience. The hotel is not cheap as it is in a great location but there are certainly others that are more expensive that are not even located next to a main tourist site. I would recommend the hotel while keeping in mind the caveats listed above.
