Three Argentinian friends decided to organize a trip to Europe together. They enthusiastically planned every detail: from flights to excursions and hotels.
While searching for accommodation in Rome , they found an option that seemed too good to be true. The price was so low that they thought it might be a scam.
Despite their doubts, they booked the room. Time passed, and when it was time to check in, they discovered their intuition had been wrong... but for the better.

In a video she shared on TikTok, Flor, one of the trip's protagonists, summed up the experience: "When you rent a hotel in Rome thinking it was a scam because it was so cheap, but when you arrive you find this."

What they saw from the room left more than one person speechless: the view was directly overlooking the Trevi Fountain, one of Italy's most iconic tourist attractions. "I'll never get over this hotel in my life," the young woman wrote alongside the images.
The video lasted just nine seconds, but it was enough to go viral and generate all kinds of reactions. While some were amazed by the find, others questioned whether it was really as cheap as they claimed. "Guy, that wasn't cheap, for sure," "Let's define 'cheap'," and "But please share the name of the hotel" were some of the comments that appeared among the replies.
There were even those who claimed that the accommodation cost much more than it seemed. “It’s not cheap, haha, it costs €500 a night,” one user asserted. But another person chimed in and clarified: “I’ll spare you the video explanation: €150 per night, €25 per person (there were 5 of us), 2021. You’re welcome.”
