Well placed budget hotel
This was very close to the main train station in Rome, Termini, which made it very easy to get to from the airport and to sightsee Rome from. Getting in was difficult. We had to ring a number and then wait for them to get in touch with the person inside. A doorbell would have been easier. The staff member who greeted us was very polite, had a good level of English for showing us the room and explaining everything. There was a coffee machine in the room and a few snacks. The room itself was reasonable considering the price. However, the water was lukewarm in the evening, the next morning it was hot enough though.

I had a great experience here. Friendly, attentive staff who offered us a complimentary breakfast, and organising late check in was very straight forward. Accommodation wasn’t exactly as the images had presented but everything was great, and much more spacious and well equipped than expected. Good shower too (which is often a downfall in hotels!). Great location to reach all the essential parts of Rome. Highly recommend.

Terrific experience, but one small caution
Our favorite memory of our visit to Rome will be staying at this terrific hotel. Everything about our room was great including the daily delivery of a light breakfast to our room by a wonderful and helpful young man. There must be an interesting story behind how these lovely and modern rooms came to be located virtually in the gorgeous Moses Fountain. However, there is one small caution if you are elderly or handicapped. There are over 70 steps to the upper rooms and this might be a problem for some guests.

Climb the stairs and roast
72 stairs up to a room that was 80 plus degrees, no working AC and a broken safe, LATE breakfast service, requested at 8 and got it at 9. The only plus I can think of is the young man who checked us in brought our bags up to our room.

Clean and close to attractions
This is a cute little hotel that's close to most of the major attractions or transit lines in Rome. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and helpful and overall the room was fairly clean. My disappointment with this hotel was the bed - the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on, you would literally feel the bed springs poking through the fabric and it made for two very uncomfortable nights sleep.

Great one man staff
Only one person works at the hotel, so it is very difficult and confusing to get in upon arrival (you need to call one of the numbers by the door, or knock on the door very hard for a while). The staff (of which, once again, consists of a single person) was most friendly and helpful. The room was clean, and comfortable. there are several flights of steps to climb to get to your room, no matter what room you get (there are only 6 rooms). The location is not terrible, but it isn't the most convenient either if you are walking to all the tourist attractions.

Great room but poor breakfast
Only issue was the breakfast which was very poor especially for the price of the room so would suggest eating at a local café if you plan to do anything active for the day and was perhaps one of the worst coffees I have ever tasted which in Italy is a sacrilege. Hotel although I would more call it several rooms was less than 10 mins walk from Termini and in an excellent location close to all attractions, metro, bus etc. Room furnished to a high level with balcony with great bathroom. Would recommend if you're looking for a central place to stay.

Want to live in Rome? Stay at Moses Fountain
Staying at the Moses Foundation hotel was the best decision we could have made for our one week trip. The hotel has a perfect location to easily access the train and bus system. Staying in the hotel you are given a code for two doors and a key to your room. The hotel is difficult to find as the addresses seem to count buildings on the block and there is a large gap between the location of 97 and 98L. The staff at Moses Fountain were very friendly and served us breakfast on the patio or in our room depending on the weather. Everything was very clean and the only area for improvement is to consolidate the wifi hotspots to one network as the construction materials of the building is not conducive to a consistent wifi signal. Should I return to Rome, this will be the hotel I would choose. Don't think twice, book now.

Frustrating
My flight was scheduled to arrive in Rome at 9:30 pm. I let the hotel know that I would be a late arrival and they acknowledged. I was told that the shuttle service from the hotel was free and ran 24/7 every hour on the hour. My flight was delayed about 40 minutes because of weather in Rome so I arrived about 10:40 pm. I attempted to call to let the hotel know that I was delayed; however, I could not get anyone to answer the phone. In addition, there was no shuttle waiting for me. So I contacted Expedia and spoke with Michaelangelo. He did make contact with the hotel but no one spoke English well enough to help. He told me that when he tried to call back, the reception was closed for the night. So my husband and I were in the Rome airport with no transportation as promised and no hotel. Michaelangelo was very good and at around 1:00 am, he was able to find us lodging in Rome but we had to make our own transporation to the hotel - about 48 Euros - which was unexpected as we were to told the shuttle was free to the first hotel. The taxi person di did not take credit cards so we were even more delayed by trying to get Euros out of an ATM to pay the taxi driver.

Excellent Place to Stay -
Stayed here for 4 nights and would describe Moses Fountain as an “Excellent” place to stay. 10 minute walk from the station and then you have easy access to most of the main sites of Rome. Christina is on site up to early afternoon and looks after you very well. Lovely lady and happy to help as she can. She provides a great fresh continental breakfast which is plenty to get you started for the day and it is delivered to your room at a time requested. Our room was spacious clean and with good storage. Bathroom was very clean with a great bath and shower with clean towels provided most days. Plenty of hot water, Quiet stay, little garden terrace outside. There are about 25 steps to manage to access Moses Fountain, but if you can manage these, this is a really excellent place to stay in Rome. There is no reception here but you will receive details on how to access the building on your arrival. Make sure you read them and it is easy and not a problem at all. Great value compared to a lot of accommodation in Rome. Thankyou Christina for looking after us.

Great Location!
So we stayed at Moses fountain for 4 nights and we enjoyed it. Going up the many stairs in order to go inside the room was not that fun but then again Rome has a lot of walking and stairs in general. Service was pretty good, my husband was a bit upset that there was no ironing board and that the breakfast was not American style but Italian (Bread, Toast, some cheese, fruits) but I did not mind it. We loved the fact everything in the mini bar was free and we also loved how close we were to Termini and everywhere else in the city center without it being too crowded. The hotel was pretty clean too and it looked very modern inside.

Perfect for that short break x
The Moses Fountain is perfect for a city break in the heart of Rome. It's close to nothing but central to everything only a short 15min walk in any direction to find one of Rome's wonders. The hotel itself is self contained, the bedrooms clean the bathrooms excellent and spacious and the cleaner/chambermaid/breakfast chef CHRISTINA is a little gem. She could not help enough. I would definitely stay hear again if I was to return to Rome on a short visit.

Definitely not what I was expecting
Pros: Housekeeper was very professional and helpful; room was very clean, spacious, and conveniently located Cons: No onsite reception or manager (housekeeper has to deal with everything); they had no record of my reservation even though I had my confirmation number (took nearly an hour to get that straightened out); internet would not stay connected...dropped every 30 seconds or so; room was very noisy (could hear conversations from next room); room was on fourth floor with no elevator so we had to drag all our luggage up four flights of steps in nearly 100 degree heat

Great Hotel Near Everything!
This hotel was awesome!!! The service was great. We had tours that were very early and they made accommodations for us to serve us breakfast. The rooms were big and comfortable and clean. The only complaint is that we didnt have hot water in the morning for two days and that sucked!! It took our from our experience but other than that this is a great hotel.

Lovely place to stay
I booked this hotel as part of 50th birthday present trip to Rome for my partner, and it was a special place to stay. Conveniently located 10 minute walk from Termini Station and beautifully opposite Santa Maria della Vittoria which was our view while having breakfast (fruit, pastries, tea/coffee) on the terrace. Our accommodation was a bedroom, kitchen, dining room and gorgeous bathroom with huge mosaic bath and rain shower - much more than we expected. No concern that staff are not always on the premises - very quick communication on booking of means of access, which all worked very easily. Highly recommended.

Very luxurious and cosy with a fountain-twist
Great location and very comfortable rooms! The hotel is located within the building with a fountain as the frontage - very beautiful and unlike anywhere we have ever stayed at! The location is well placed near Republica station, but all the main landmarks are walking distance from the hotel anyway. Breakfast was brought to our room every morning by the maid and was excellent. Finally on check out we were requested to pay the entire hotel fee again as the payment had not been received by the hotel from hotels.com. This caused quite a panic! Apparently we were told that this is a common problem and our initial booking was simply to reserve the room. Anyway I checked with my credit card company from there and no payment had indeed been taken from hotels.com, so we paid again at the hotel. 2 weeks on from our stay and still checking with the credit card company and all seems legit! Except for that last minute panic, a wonderful stay, thoroughly recommended!

“Nice Rooms spoiled by lack of hot water …”
Even though classified’s as a Hotel, the Moses fountain hotel is more a B&B than a hotel. There are 6 large nicely decorated rooms including Breakfast Espresso machine, free minibar and Wifi. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Hotel Location is very good and Easy to get to via taxi or Metro from Termini or Republica station. BUT… There is a very big disadvantage from service stand point, while booking this hotel, pls take into consideration that there is no receptionist nor any hotel representative nor other staff.. . if you arrive after 14:00 there will be no one will welcome you. We had negative experience while we had an issue with lack of HOT water in the shower, despite previous promises, the situation was not fixed for over 24 hours … I have spent the evening making phone calls trying to fix the situation, unfortunately, with no results… I am just wandering, what would one do in case of emergency… To make long Story short: Nice place to stay but not in case something goes wrong..

Great little hideaway in busy Rome
Stayed here on our honeymoon. Apart from the lack of a reception, this place was perfect. The smell of the honeysuckle as we walked up the steps, the air-conditioned room, the free mini-bar and best of all the excellent room service from the friendly staff. Well worth a stop if your staying in Rome for a few days.

This is not a hotel
This property is town homes that individuals rent out. This would be great except they advertise as a hotel. They have no reception. We arrived at 9 pm expecting a hotel and after a lot of searching found a blank door with no reception or even an intercom. Without cell phone reception there was no way to contact the owner. We had to find another hotel late in the evening. This may be a great property, it is certainly convenient to the train station, but it needs to describe that it is not a hotel, but rather renting a townhouse.

Excellent Hotel to stay in the Centre of Rome
Hidden away from the crowd is a beautiful B&B, comfortable rooms where you couldn't hear the other guests. There are however many stairs to climb to reach the entrance and no lift. This isn't suitable for anyone who has difficulties climbing stairs as there are no lifts. Breakfast is served at the time requested and well presented with fresh fruit, cereals, bread and pastries. All the main tourist attractions are within walking distance, some are a trek but well worth the walk. There are excellent restaurants available in side streets that are worth finding.

Not recommended.
Very hard to find. Has no lobby, you have to call and get access code into a side door. Then immediately once you finally get in you have to go up 25 step steps and then up 4 more sets of 25 step steps. No elevator and your outside going up with all your luggage! Some kind of notice about the difficultly finding it and how you exactly get in and also that there is no elevator would have been good. The room its self was very nice, but we were so exhausted getting there and then the next day dragging all the luggage down. Would not recommend this to any one.

Great little Hotel in centre of attractions
This hotel had a great ratings and all stood up to the test when we arrived. A small side door easy to locate and access in was easy. We let the owne r know when we would be arriving and they were there waiting. The hotel is best described as a 4 flats with each flat beuatifully furnished. I stay in a lot of hotels for business and this room was better than most 5 star hotels i have stayed in. If you do not like to be bothered by portes, hotel staff stc and want a quiet private place to stay that feels like a flat you own yourself then this is a hotel for you. Breakfast is left on a tray either in the hall or outside on balcony if weather is good. Breakfast is simple and very nice. Little extras like the use of unbrella's and leaving luggae secure on day of leaving add to this wonderful place. People commented on noise from waterfall but i never noticed this, aircon always makes a slight noise so not sure if this bloced out waterfall noise or not but I had two wonderful nights sleep. Very close to all atractions and very close to train station (5mins walk) so easy from airport to get to hotel (no need for taxi's). Would definately stay again if visiting Rome.

absolutely perfect
We so enjoyed our stay at Moses Fountain hotel on 26 and 27 June. Christine was so helpful and everything is kind of self explanatory anyway. The location is very good as it not a bad walk to the termini and not a bad walk to spanish steps and villa borgese and pantheon and piazza navonna. When in Rome one has to roam in order to explore. The continental breakfast was great on the patio outside and the room was clean and not a sound to be heard once you close doors at night. I.will definately stay there again.

Reasonable rate and great location
The staff was very friendly. Although the hotel is a bit odd in that there is no lobby, check-in area, or restaurant, what you get for the price in such an ideal location cannot be beat! The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was simple yet filling enough to fuel us for the morning. Would highly recommend for a quick night or two stay in Rome since it's close to so many of the highlights, and perfectly close to Termini train station.

Moses fountain
The moses fountain hotel was great. Me and my partner stayed in the supierior suit and we were lost for words. Great staff, great location and even better room overall. Breakfast was brought to our room every morning consisting of fresh breds, coffee, tea and fruit. Room had a large bedroom, large bathroom with shower and bath, personal kitchen and large living area. The hotel location was a 10 to 15 minute walk to the colosseum and 5 mins away from the nearest metro. Making it easy to access the full city in a short period of time. Overall stay was brilliant and we are hoping to visit again.
