Erring on the generous side, I will go for five stars.

Overall however, a beautiful hotel with a very high attention to detail. In my fantasy Roman hotel I would have the breakfast buffet in situ without the walk. So either you walk around 10 minutes to the sister hotel and have a excellent buffet breakfast on their cool roof terrace or you have a small breakfast in your room. My only (half) star removal would concern breakfast.

We went to a very lively local restaurant one night with OK food and great atmosphere and a top seafood restaurant on our other night with excellent food but no other diners. Ask at the check in desk for recommendations and don't be afraid to be very specific about what you like and don't like. There are excellent restaurants in the streets around the hotel. The real surprise was how quiet the room was, many hotels with rooms overlooking the small busy streets must have to deal with street noise, however the sleep quality here was high. We stayed in a junior suite on the first floor and appreciated the extra space. In a city of baroque extravagance and ancient antiques, the Mario has modern, sleek design. The Mario de Fiori is one of three small luxury hotels near to the Spanish steps.
