iRooms – Spanish Steps is a design guest house in the heart of Rome, just 300 meters from the Spanish Steps and 900 meters from the Trevi Fountain. The property stands out for its original concept: each room is designed as a small installation, with beds set inside illuminated cubes or scenic frames, RGB lighting, and walls where guests can leave messages or drawings.
The accommodations, ranging from 14 to 21 square meters, are equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a minibar with free snacks and drinks, an iPad with WiFi, and a private bathroom with a rain shower; some room types also offer corner whirlpool tubs designed for two people. Italian breakfast is included, and the property houses a restaurant serving international dishes, with vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options available on request.
The location, rated 9.7 by guests, is one of the property’s main strengths: Via Condotti, Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo are just minutes away on foot, while Spagna Metro Station is about 350 meters away. The guest house is well suited to couples and travelers seeking an original stay in one of the capital’s most central areas, with a concierge service and paid airport shuttle available on request.

The rooms at iRooms – Spanish Steps are built around a scenic concept that makes each room type an experience in itself: beds enclosed in cubes or illuminated frames with programmable RGB LEDs, walls to write or draw on, and special attention to technological details such as an included iPad, LCD TV and a minibar with free snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. All accommodations, ranging from 14 to 21 square meters, feature air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower and safe, and are designed mainly for two people.
What mainly differentiates the various room types is the size and the presence of a whirlpool tub: the Superior rooms offer more space and views of the surrounding streets, while the versions with a corner whirlpool tub add a more relax-oriented touch, ideal for those seeking a romantic stay. The Economy Double Room, simpler in its furnishings, still retains soundproofing and streaming services, making it the most accessible choice in the range.
