Relais Pierret

This b & b is on the first floor (one up from the ground floor) in the second pink building to the left of the Spanish Steps. There is a lift available. The location is right in the middle of the famous Piazza di Spagna and super convenient. The taxi drop off is a short walk down the street and the main subway terminal is literally a 1-minute walk around the corner of the building. The three ladies who staff the Relais Pierret are charming, accommodating and very courteous. Our Superior Room stay in the "cream and gold" 2-person room was adequate. It does not overlook the Spanish Steps as advertised, but rather faces out to other nearby rooms in an enclosed space. The room itself is very small for two if you have suitcases - no where to put them but on the floor and step over to get into bed or to the bathroom. The bathroom is fine (lacks space, shelves and hooks for clothes), and odd in that there is no shelf in the shower to place toiletries -- you just have to put them on the floor. Younger travelers might enjoy the multi-colored shower lights and the view from the bed. There was a noticeable odor in the room while we visited that made our clothes smell -- some reviews have mentioned sewer issues under these buildings, not sure if that's the cause. The morning breakfast was a delightful mix of the usual fare plus eggs cooked to order-- served on a silver tray to your room by the young lady who prepared it. A very gracious stay, super-clean room, excellent linens, primo location. Would return again.
