Glamour Spanish Steps is anything but glamorous. But once you get pass the disappointment of the room (No 2), it's actually not so bad.
The cons: the room is in desperate need of updating as it has a silver paint interior likened to a single male's idea of a cool bedroom in the 1980s. The bed frame has a worn out leather effect edging which adds to the size of the bed which is far too big for the size of the room, resulting in having to shimmy around the bed; there is faulty wiring to the lights; holes in the plaster to the wall and ceiling; skirting board missing; scuffed up MDF skirting board in need of replacing; the sliding frosted glass door to the ensuite doesn't entirely cover the doorway and the shower is lit by a glass block wall, so there's no privacy when using the toilet or shower; no hand wash provided. The communication before arriving was frankly disappointing because it was unfriendly and unhelpful, which caused concerned over being able to check in.
The pros: the cleaner cleaned the room every day and put an entirely clean set of bedding on every day; clean towels most days; the bed was comfy; the shower was reliably hot; the decor of the ensuite was okay; it's a short walk to the Metro, bus stops, park, zoo, shops, restaurants, cafes, and the piazza. Once check in details had been received, it was straightforward to get to the room.
Summary: exceptionally clean and great location, but would not stay there again.
