Hotel Alexandra

 Historical property, managed by the same family since 1910. Simple bed and breakfast establishment, offering a lounge drinks service but no bar on site. A separately-managed A la Carte restaurant, directly outside, offers a discount to guests. Un-remarkable facilities but superbly well-located on one of the most desirable streets in the city with many upmarket hotels.

A short walk will bring guests to the designer shopping streets near Piazza di Spagna, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Quirinale Palace. 20 minutes walk to the Colosseum and there is a bus service to the Vatican. Suit those wanting a small, no-frills establishment in one of the best parts of the city for quality and convenience.
