We overlooked the piazza and fountain ⛲️ Very good customer service throughout our 3 day stay plus has an excellent daily breakfast.

The hotel is a charming boutique hotel
 beautiful small sweet 
Great location
lovely breakfast /restaurant /bar
 the front desk service was exquisite and wonderfully friendly

We are looking forward to staying there again

Breakfast was fancy ( for us) and absolutely lovely.

Great breakfast and super helpful staff!!

Best of all, the complimentary breakfast, seated in an elegant little  dining room, was ridiculously good, with fruit, pastries, and omelettes/pancakes, etc.

It comes with breakfast every morning, which was just basic and was only ok

The breakfast manager was attentive and the food was good during our stay, there was plenty to eat on the breakfast selection.

Great location, Great staff,  organized and well super clean rooms, amazing breakfast included in the price.

Also they recommended a restaurant for dinner which was around the corner from the hotel and the food was delicious.

Select from the a la carte menu for eggs, pancakes or cereals/yogurt.

The breakfast was fantastic and just the right amount of food!

Breakfast quality was excellent and selection was more than you could ever need.

Also, the staff at breakfast and the bartender in the evening were so good and so accommodating!!

Breakfast was lovely and had very kind staff.

but there was a large selection to order from, including pancakes.

Breakfast was amazing , so much to choose from and presented beautifully., Stefano got to know exactly what we wanted each morning .

And a lovely breakfast every morning to get your day off to a great start!

The room was impeccable and we had the terrace suite.

The room was immaculate as was the hotel, very ideally located close to the metro and a short walk to the Spanish steps and Trevi Fountain, would gladly book again in the future.

I can’t say enough fantastic things about this gorgeous, quaint, clean, amazing boutique hotel perfectly located.

but the bed was so comfortable, the bathroom lovely, everything very clean.

The room was clean, well maintained and very quiet.

It was also super clean and our room was great.

There is a lounge for afternoon drinks and the whole hotel is spotless!

The hotel and rooms are kept spotless too!

Room was spacious, clean and nicely appointed.

although somewhat small, very good and clean.

They were clean, beds were very comfortable, and the employees were so kind.

We had two rooms (one suite, which I highly recommend) on the same floor which were clean, cozy and had everything we needed (robe, slippers, etc.).

Sure the Hotel Barocco is in a prime location and clean, quiet and comfortable

Needless to say that everything was spotless and breakfast is soooo yammi.

My hotel room was impeccably clean, with a comfortable bed and spacious shower stall.

but there was an additional short flight of stairs (5-6 steps) to reach my room from the hallway.

The hotel footprint is quite small and accordingly everything inside the hotel is small from the door to the hotel to the lobby and halls and elevator and most importantly the rooms.

The doors to the hallways are made of ridiculously thick wood to keep the noise out.

We were in Room 48; took the elevator to the 5th floor, then walked down 2 short flights of stairs and hallway to our room -- similar to a room we had at Banff Spring Resort years ago!

This is an old set of buildings so the hallways are a bit snug and the

We stayed in a deluxe double overlooking the plaza and fountain.

We recently spent 3 nights at the Barocco Hotel in rooms 42 and 44 (across the hall from each other).

However, I felt that the interior decor was dated and the corridors to the room were narrow and a little bit creepy.

We had a chance to check out the room across the hallway from us, which we would have much preferred.

My compliments to the staff and the management for employing and training them
What not to expect in the Barroc it is a boutique hotel small reception narrow corridors,

There were little angles and a tiny corridor to the bathroom which added to the interest and ambiance of the room.

But, newly renovated, bar the fact that the entrance is on the side of the building & not the front (although it says hotel on a old door) & the fact that the corridors might have been narrow, the renovated rooms/hotel looks amazing.

Our room was next to the entry door to the hall so Id recommend not getting that room if you want to sleep in,

however once inside these are all features that give the hotel it's feeling of warmth and make it stand out from the 'norm' - marble floors and walls, large displays of fresh flowers at intervals throughout the corridors; small bespoke stairs and only five or six guest rooms per floor make the experience unique and without doubt when returning to Rome we will stay at this hotel again.

The sound does travel in the corridors which may be due, in part, to the marble floors.

As other reviewers have mentioned the corridor flooring means you can hear people walking up and down outside the room and it was a little annoying not to have aircon available as it was winter

The Hotel should consider carpeting the hallways to minimize sound.

The property is located near the Trevi Fountain and walking distance to most attractions in Rome.

Centrally located and easy access to alll points of Rome.

Fabulous location (walking distance to Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps; short taxi to the Vatican and Colosseum).

Wonderful location - easy to get on hop on/hop off bus (across the piazza), coffee shops and cafes all around the piazza, easy for taxi & scooters etc.

The location is terrific, in walking distance to many of Rome's famous sights.

It is in a great location and close to a lot of the important things people come to Rome to see.

The location is excellent and allows easy access to key sites around the city and to the Metro.

The location of the hotel cannot be beat.

This is an excellent hotel in a great location.

the hotel is about two blocks from the top of the Spanish Steps so the location is phenomenal!

We chose it because of its location as being central to a lot of attractions we wanted to revisit.

Great location as well, close to the Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, Four Seasons corner and other sites, as well as great stores.

The hotel is in a wonderful location - an easy walk to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon.

Great location - close to a number of the key Rome attractions, close to the best shopping and there are many wonderful restaurants & bars close by.

but the AC was poor, bed sheet quality was poor and itchy, and the shower did not drain so we were taking a shower in a pool of water and had to stop before it overflowed.

The cost was less then a poor glass at home without nibbles!

Lighting was poor and of course no makeup mirror.

Would not recommend eating in the conservatory restaurants located around the corner from the hotel-very poor food and service.

Bad: The room size was disappointing, the room design was very poor.

WIFI:  Unfortunately wifi was very poor and as a business traveler this was a bit challenging -

We had a standard room which was not large and had a poor view

We both jumped on it before the poor gentleman showing us the room amenities could gasp in surprise!

Room 13 is small with poor lighting and a limited view.

Although wi-fi is free, connection is very poor and you have to keep logging in.

We had a lovely room with a bath and shower.

Rooms are fabulous, we stayed twice / once at the front end of our 14 day trip through Italy / then again at the end since we flew out of Rome both ways.

Our room was adequate, with large windows overlooking the quiet side street.

We stayed in two different rooms, both were of a high standard.

Book the terrace room with jacuzzi and sauna!

We booked a classic room which was fine for one night.

We stayed in a larger room this time that had a small outdoor patio which we loved.

but very comfortable, and we had a room overlooking the Triton Fountain.

Beautiful twin room with elegant touches.

The elevator is really small and could barely fit 2 people and 2 luggages.

It has only 1 small elevator and it takes sometimes a while till it gets to you.

There is one small elevator, appropriate for a hotel of this size and with little wait time.

Elevator was very small and air conditioning was not very cold (typical for Europe).

The elevator was also small and slow and I had to go up four flights of stairs,

Although the elevator was tiny, it was modern and quick to respond when called.

This hotel is in a old building and has been renovated to high modern standards, yet it remains quaint with narrow passageways and a small elevator.

but everywhere in Rome has a small elevator and that really doesn't hold you back.

Our room #62 was a superior located just off the tiny elevator.

Beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Rome-walkable to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and much more!

Spanish steps are 8-10 min walk; Trevi fountain is 5 min walk.

You are 5-6 minutes away from the Trevi Fountain and about 10 minutes to the Spanish Steps.

The hotel itself is situated near the trevi fountain and Spanish steps .

Terrific hotel with great location close to Spanish Steps & Trevi Fountain.

It’s a boutique hotel which is well situated between the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.

The location is great, about a ten-minute walk to Trevi Fountain and great shopping.

We walked to everything:  the Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Via Condotti for shopping.

7 minute walk to Trevi Fountain, 5 minute walk from the Spanish Steps and about a 15 minute walk to the colosseum.

The location is perfect …   a 1 :60 walk to the metro and within easy walking distance to Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, shopping on Via Condotti and numerous restaurants.

Location was perfect - lots of shopping and restaurants all around and short walk to Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps.

5 minute walk to the Spanish Steps, 10 minute walk to Trevi Fountain, 15 minute walk to The Pantheon, 10 minute Metro ride to the Colosseum, and maybe 15 to the Vatican.

Location was fantastic, close to everything and within walking distance of 10-15 min to the Spanish steps , Trevi fountain , Villa Borghese.

5 minutes from Trevi fountain so you can see it in all lighting conditions.

The hotel is well-positioned for all the sites - nothing was much more than a 20 minute walk away and the Trevi fountain is just a 5 minute walk.

Outstanding service - easy check in and out process - fantastic breakfast and staff - awesome rooftop bar and staff - super comfortable room with excellent  a/c - and the front desk staff is the best of the best. Oh.

The breakfast buffet is another level with daily homemade cakes.

Everyone speaks English, breakfast is included, and they can book tours for you in a minute’s notice.

Breakfast was great, with baked sweet goodies brought around to tables to supplement the already generous buffet selection.

The breakfast buffet has everything you can imagine for breakfast and more.

Breakfast is fantastic with great service.

We wish we took more advantage of the breakfast buffet because Salvatore and Pasquale made us feel like true Paisans.

But the best part was the the unbelievable breakfast.

All the staff are fabulous, everywhere is very clean & the breakfasts & evening meals were wonderful 
Tiny negative about the dinner menu.

Wonderful,knowledgeable staff at reception, happy and friendly porters and door men and finally the breakfast is one of the best you'll ever get in Italy!

Service
Our booking included buffet breakfast and there were sufficient food options which can get quite repetitive if you are staying for many days

The breakfast was excellent with a huge selection of food and delicious pastries.

They manage breakfast so well and are very hard working.

The included breakfast buffet is worth trying at least once if you would like to relax at the hotel before heading out.

The breakfast was so much better than the usual hotel breakfasts I usually find and the best way to start the day.

Breakfast, a true highlight, was exactly as before- outstanding.

Lift
Most European hotels have small, slow lifts,

Several things to consider: the elevator is rather slow and small,

but again we never once heard anyone getting on or off the elevator our entire stay!!

Also the lift was incredibly slow every time we used it, so much so that I walked up and down several times and we were on the sixth floor.

The spa-facility was in the basement-floor and to my understanding there wasn't a elevator that went down, so again keep that in mind if you are handicapped.

The only original piece of the hotel was a very wooden elevator in the A section of the hotel.

If you do decide to take the Metro to the nearest station, note that Republica Station is still closed due to an escalator collapse last year.

One small downside - elevator takes time during rush hours, so better use the stairs if possible.

.but in the spirit of this site, I've risen to the challenge and decided I had to wait too long for the elevator.

If I have to name a few shortcomings: rooms are smaller than American standard, walls are thin, hallway noise can easily be perceived sometimes, our room had no view, water pipes behind walls generate some noise during the night, elevator sometimes can get slow.

We had a room upgrade and I was a little concerned when I discovered that it was next to the lift

They have an old school elevator on the back side of the hotel that you must use it really gives you a feel for how old the hotel is.

That room was on the 5 th floor(beware the lift only goes to 4) so you do have to walk one flight of stairs .

Great location, fabulous staff and spacious, immaculate rooms.

The location is perfect, walking distance to most of the places you will want to see and lots of stores and restaurants on its doorstep (including Ambrosia, their rooftop restaurant which is fab).

The location was very good as we could get to all our tours easily by walking.

The hotel is located in a very central place that is easy to get around and the staff will hail you a cab whenever you need to get to your destinations.

It is conveniently located within walking distance to the Coliseum, the Forum, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.

Location was brilliant and in walking distance to main attractions.

We just spent another 5 days at this well located 4 star hotel.

Location
The hotel is a 10 mins walk from the main Termini and 5 mins walk to Repubblica metro.

Central location and easy walk to many attractions.

The location of the hotel is excellent - you are within walking distance of most attractions such as the spanish steps and trevi fountain.

Friendly, helpful staff and modern rooms plus a central location were our favorite points of the hotel.

The hotel is centrally located with a 10 min walk to the Trevi Fountain and perhaps a 20 min walk to the Colosseum.

The location of the hotel is great, too - close to the ancient sites I wanted to see and about a 10-minute walk from the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.

The rooms are immaculate and modern with exceptional free wifi and fully stocked minibar and coffee making facilities 
The roof top bar and restaurant serves amazing food and superb cocktails 
The location is perfectly located near other bars and restaurants and literally a short walk from Trevi fountain and The colosseum

In fact we were kind of told not to shower at "off peak" times as the system might be resetting and that's why there is poor pressure, whatever that means.

but after reading all the other reviews abt people celebrating at the hotel it was bit poor that they had to be reminded.

He should be fired, what a poor welcome to Rome & such a lovely hotel!

Not sure how this hotel has such high rating with such poor customer service from management.

We didn't want to have housekeeping deal with it so my husband and I cleaned the entire bathroom with the chemicals, towels and bags that the poor housekeeping lady provided.

Since halal kebab places had poor food quality and hygiene best option was to stick with fish or vegetarian.

Pre arrival I had been in contact with hotel as was travelling with someone who had poor mobility.

We had dinner for my birthday in the Ambrosia Restaurant and the food, wine and service was excellent.

The food was actually better than the Michelin restaurant we dined at.

Service was outstanding throughout and the rooftop meal included in our stay was amazing!

What makes this hotel stand out beyond all others is the hotel front desk staff and the restaurant staff!

Gave us great restaurant suggestions and made the reservations for us, even last minute!

Every possible food on the buffet as well as passed crostini ( delicious) and fresh pastries.

Ambrosia restaurant and drinks on rooftop bar also fantastic.

but the descriptions were too convoluted & who wants pork belly for a lovely meal 😂
Desserts & cocktails to die for though 😘

This breakfast was enough for the day, leaving room for a gelato in the afternoon ( just 2 doors away) and we often finished off with a pizza at Pizza Target.

There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby for dining and retail therapy.

A wonderful hotel w roof top bar and restaurant.

but that was because it is so popular with the food being so nice.

They also arranged a car from the airport for us and made our dinner reservations upon request.

Taxis were inexpensive to and from dinner and always prompt.

It included a bottle of wine and strawberries in the room, an hour-long couple’s massage and an absolutely FANTASTIC multi-course dinner and drinks at their rooftop restaurant, Ambrosia.

Rooftop bar and restaurant is very nice, We didn’t eat there, But had drinks and it was excellent.

We were in a deluxe room and it had more than enough room, luggage and all.

The rooms are well appointed and spotless.

We had a larger room which was very nice.

The gentleman in the breakfast room extremely friendly and efficient.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday in Rome and the staff sent a bottle of Prosecco to our room,

Rooms are cool, well appointed and very quiet.

Room
We booked the Comfort Double room and the room is newly furnished so it was a very clean and comfortable stay.

The room was very comfortable and spacious, with air conditioning, free minibar which is topped up every day and you do get a very good nights sleep.

Room was cleaned everyday and fresh towels everyday.

We received 2 vouchers for Prosecco to have on their roof top bar and we were then shown to our room on 6th floor (#623) which was one of their basic double rooms.

Plus, the room was perfect for the three of us - not always easy to find in Europe, a room to accommodate 3 people.

however that didn’t matter as we were hardly in the room and the bed (the hotel are testing various new mattresses) was so comfortable and massive.

We had a room (409) away from the main road which was fabulous as it was so so quiet!

Conclusion
I would not stay here again just because of the rude service.

but if you want any advice on where to eat or to buy something or where something is open, I do not want to be rude, but you're better off asking someone on the street or using Google.

Though I'm sure it isn't true of all the staff, our waiter was rude, arrogant, and not a little bit condescending.

Also the Host in the rooftop bar/restaurant was very rude and offhand to us on 2 occasions when we visited.

It is a short walk to the Trevi Fountain and about an hour if you walk to the Vatican.

It is also a 15 mins walk to the infamous Trevi fountain.

We love walking so this was perfect for us - the hotel was within about 15 minutes walk from the Trevi Fountain and the Coliseum.

The hotel's location can't be beat--just minutes from the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and a stone's throw from the Spanish Steps and Colosseum.

It is truly walking distance to just snout all of the tourist sites (Trevi Fountain, around  15 minutes; coloseum, around 10 minutes; the furthest is the Vatican, it took us about an hour).

Firstly the hotel is absolutely stunning, and the location is perfect - it is literally ~6 minutes walk away from the Trevi fountain down lovely little quaint streets.
