The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable

Hotel was clean, friendly, and comfortable.

Clean and luxurious and the bed is so comfortable.

A wonderful Hotel, clean rooms, good food, especially breakfast buffet, helpful staff took time to make sure we knew how and where the bus operated, and within walking distance to the Coloseum, as well as lots of great sidewalk cafes.

The room was well presented and clean and we were given a drink token to use at the bar which was a nice addition.

I am very clean and fussy and this room was SO clean!

The bedroom was large, quiet, spotlessly clean with the most comfortable bed.

Our room was very clean, spacious and comfortable.

The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, the rooms were spotless, and the breakfast was scrumptious.

The location near the Colosseum is great for sightseeing,

Perfectly sited for the Roman Forum and the Colosseum.

Great location, very central in Rome and close to the Colosseum, yet our room was quiet because the windows had a good seal and the aircon was efficient and quiet running.

Close to Colosseum and many street restaurants.

This is a lovely hotel and really well located for the colosseum and other sights.

Fantastic hotel, situated close to the Colosseum.

Located three blocks from the Colosseum and with a roof top terrace with a beautiful view this hotel would take a lot of beating.

It was a perfect place to explore the city – easy to get cabs and literally up the street from the Colosseum.

Less than 10 minute walk to Colosseum and historic sites.

Beautiful building which is in walking distance to the Colosseum.

The location was 10 minute walk to the Colosseum & 30+ min.

The location is excellent if you want to stay near the Colosseum.

It was two blocks from the Colosseum and you always felt safe in the neighborhood.

It is within walking distance of the Colosseum and many other attractions if you like walking.

As has been stated before, the view from the breakfast room of the Colosseum is wonderful.

Hotel Capo d’Africa
Wonderful small hotel a stone’s throw from the Colosseum and Forum.

but the metro is only 5 minutes away next to the colosseum.

I picked this hotel due to it's TA reviews and its close proximity to the Colosseum.

Prime, quiet location, walking distance to the Colosseum.

We went to Rome for the first time in February 2023 and booked this Hotel essentially because it was close to the Colosseum and there was a view from the rooftop.

Highlights of our stay:

Location: The hotel is conveniently located near the Colosseum and the Historic Center.

The location is nice with lots of little stores and cafes around and within easy walking distance of the colosseum and other points of interest, the a/c works amazingly well, and the housekeeping staff are great.

This beautiful hotel is perfectly located within walking distance to the Colosseum and has a roof top restaurant that has a view of the Colosseum where we enjoyed a delicious breakfast every morning.

It’s quite close to the Colosseum yeah it is also located on a quiet street.

Located literally a stones throw from the Colosseum and within walking distance of the Trevi Fountain.

The hotel is a great venue, near the Colosseum, comfortable, quiet, clean and a fun breakfast buffet.

The hotel is in good location right next to the colosseum and near the gay street of Rome, and by gay street it means two gay bars.

Close to the Colosseum and the Forum and local restaurants.

Hotel is in a great location near The Colosseum and Roman Forum.

The only improvement would be to have some sockets next to the bed so you can charge things next to your bed

Beware of high charges from taxis back from main areas.

We accidentally broke one of the bike keys and was charged for a replacement which I feel wasn’t warranted.

but most have a card scanner so you can enter with your own card.

Even little Italian candies awaited us in the rooms at check in with a sweet card that had Halloween motifs!

Taxi rank at end of street, opposite Colosseum - confirm with driver prior to hire journey is metered, otherwise you may be vastly overcharged - witnessed this regularly!

When we got back from dinner someone at the front desk tried to tell me that we would be billed for this broken glass container.

I did think there was a lack of charging points in the room and a lack of lighting, particularly in the evening.

We contacted the hotel with more than 24 hours notice, and they still charged us a 1 night cancellation penalty, claiming the hotel required 3 DAYS NOTICE.

Travel tip: in case your phone runs out of battery, take a Hotel Business card with you so you can show return driver the address) sometimes our pronunciation of the area is lost in translation.

This seems to be only a ROME thing as other parts of Italy we could add to credit card.

I am sure that if you go to this heartless hotel they will see you just like a bill, coin, check, credit card or travel check and non like a guest who are given them the money to eat.

buttons sometimes work and sometimes don't, so I couldn't turn lights on or off as I wanted, so I'd just pull the card out and wait for them to go off on the timer.

You can only pay by credit card and the ticket covers entry to both attractions and is valid for 2 days.

When we arrived from Australia our bags did not and the hotel reception took charge of chasing the airline to get our bags for us and thankfully they arrived 24 hours later.

Hotel does not have an iron in room or available and charges for pressing clothes.

Drinks can be served up here and charged to your room for check out.

The only downside for me, and this is probably expected from a hotel of this standard, is that the hotel charges for pressing rather than allowing the use of an iron in the room.

Dinner upstairs our last night produced the best fish ever, can't remember the name, plus the wait staff was fun and attentive.

The staff was professional, friendly, and accommodating and took care to make certain our stay was amazing.

Abdul at the bar was so helpful and served my family with drinks/snacks and was very hospitable.

The staff was very kind, especially Katia who gave us a lot of useful information and always found solutions to our requirements.

Front desk was very helpful and we loved the location's convenience to a few lovely neighborhood restaurants and Rome attractions like the Coloseum, the Convent next door we could attend Vespers (sung BEAUTIFULLY) and/or mass, and Basilica of St Clemente.

Reception always friendly and welcoming and happy to help with all our needs.

Really enjoyed our stay, the staff were really helpful and made an effort to make sure we were looked after.

The staff and what makes this beautiful property stand out from many others.

but our room was ready and the staff were very helpful in arranging transfers and recommending and booking a restaurant for us.

Staff give warm welcome and are great at getting taxis.

Firstly, the staff are welcoming and friendly.

If you needed to check in late or just prefer to have people at the front desk, this is a good place to consider.

Everyone at the hotel, from the front desk staff to the bartender, to the waitstaff and the housekeepers were friendly and professional and helped make our stay very pleasurable.

There’s a lovely rooftop breakfast dining area and a reception bar area for coffee or drinks.

friendly, and helpful, the rooms are beautifully decorated (as are the public spaces), the amenities are great, the breakfast upstairs on the terrace - with views in two directions - is super, as is dinner.

Nice restaurant and terrace bar and hang out spot.

The rooftop terrace is amazing with fabulous views of Rome.

There is also a lovely roof terrace to enjoy a relaxing drink.

but I did over hear guests being very happy with their meals on the rooftop terrace.

There is a rooftop terrace with bar and restaurant,  an outdoor patio area , a lobby seating area and bar.

Breakfast was great with the option of the roof top terrace.

The hotel has a rooftop dining terrace from which you can see the colosseo and they made sure we had great views.

Gorgeous breakfast with plenty of choice (must try a hot chocolate) beautiful roof top terrace to enjoy some drinks after a long day.

Loved terrace for breakfast and evening aperitif .

Roof top terrace was georgous in the evening to have a drink before bed.

We had a nice prosecco on the rooftop terrace, and a tasty Negroni on the terrace downstairs.

My wife and I traveled to Italy for our honeymoon, we stayed for a week and despite the airport loosing our lugagge this hotel made feel right at home, superb service from the front desk Angelica and Massimiliano to the staff at the terrace for the breakfast.

They had a delightful terrace that we were also able to enjoy in the evenings while enjoying a glass of wine.

The location is quiet for sleeping and the roof terrace is excellent  for a relaxing breakfast in the sun.

The rooms are clean and beds comfortable.

Great location, room very clean with super comfortable bed, just a little small.

The staff couldn’t have been nicer and the rooms were really clean and well done.

We found the room to be quite comfortable and very clean.

Breakfast was extensive and delicious; and the cleanliness of the place was outstanding.

Very quiet, clean, excellent breakfast, and, most of all, an outstanding and accommodating staff.

The room itself, while not 'fancy',  was bright, well lit and  clean.

The rooms were very clean and just what was needed.

This was a spacious, comfortable and clean hotel with great proximity to many attractions like excellent dining, scenic streetscapes and off course, the colosseum.

but very clean and comfortable with everything we needed.

but clean rooms and roof top bar is priceless.

The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and housekeeping cleaned every day with fresh towels, bins cleaned, etc.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Colosseum.

I would highly recommend the Hotel Colosseum to anyone traveling to Rome!

We aim to return and thoroughly recommend  the Hotel Colosseum to friends and family.

The location was ideal for us - walking distance to the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, restaurants and shops.

Colosseum was 15 mins walk and lovely green park nearby.

Nice location in the Monti neighborhood, close to the Colosseum and Roman Forum.

The Hotel is slightly far from the center of town and - not exactly close to the Colosseum as the name implies -but excellent  Hotel— The rooftop area for drinks is magical watching the sun set over Rome

Thank you to Hotel Colosseum for giving us a lovely stay.

Situation of the hotel is great - about 15 minutes from the Colosseum and we even walked to the Vatican (via Castel St Angelo) which took about an hour in all.

I would stay at Hotel Colosseum again and recommend this hotel.

The location of Hotel Colosseum is excellent with a 5minute walk to one the most amazing sights in Rome.

We stayed at the Hotel Colosseum for 3 nights at the end of Sept 2023.

Walkable to the colosseum and many good restaurants.

We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Colosseum.

This was located close to the colosseum and some great restaurants.

We could see the colosseum from our room which was a lovely touch.

The location is excellent, about 5 minutes walk to the top of the road and you are bus stop 2 of the open top tours, The Colosseum is about 10 minutes in the other direction.

Great location - near Colosseum and Maria Major Basilica, as well as Rail Terminal and plenty of other places.

Excellent hotel in walking distance to the Colosseum and Termini.

We were walking distance to Colosseum (15 min) and Trevi fountain (18 min).

This was a wonderfully quaint hotel near the Colosseum and not far walking to other sites.

Close to the Colosseum (about 15 minute walk) and other attractions are within walking distance.

The Hotel Colosseum is very close to all of the main places of interest, and just a short taxi trip to the Vatican €15 including tip.

It is in a great location, close to the Colosseum, bars and restaurants, and if you are able to walk a little further the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon.

Great central location close to the colosseum and other attractions.

Easy walking distance from the Colosseum, Forum, Palatine Hill, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and many more attractions.

Central location close to the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and forum.

It is really close to the Colosseum (about 10 min walk) and from there you can walk to Palentine hill, the Roman forum and Circus maximus.

Hotel is near the colosseum and within walking distance of most things.

--LOCATION: Eh, this is close to the Colosseum (of course)

The shower doors did not close properly, and the only amenity in the bathroom was liquid that you were supposed to use as both shower gel and shampoo, and which left our hair like straw.

Walls between rooms are not soundproof so there might be some noise from the TV in the room next door.

Also the walls in the hotel are very thin and when the  guests next door came back every night they were very loud and we could hear also conversations they had threw the wall.

It is a three star hotel, it makes no pretention of anything else, in fact it displays the stars proudly on the door canopy.

but maybe not in 38 degree heat next time, with all the walking required

Hotel colosseum you have been fantastic, my only regret is we didn’t leave a tip as we was rushing so much in the morning that we literally walked out the door and didn’t realise until we was on the way back to the airport.

Shower door was not slotted into place properly and my partner had to fix this.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable, shower cubicle was a little bit on the small sideand very close to the sink, we were placed a towel over edge of sink so the shower door and sink didnt meet.

Bathroom was small, and it took a bit of time till we figured out how to open the shower door without banging the sink,

Also, don't expect any of the good (non-tourist) restaurants to open until at least 7:30pm and please don't go in any restaurants that have waiters begging you to enter at their front door.

Shower door bangs into sink on one side and toilet on the other.

Somebody knocked multiple times on my door before 9 am and at about two hours later somebody even came into my room while I was in bed!

The room we had was on 1st floor between banging and creeking doors used by cleaners from about 3am?!

The lights switches are only by the bed, none by the door.

The bathroom was so cramped that you couldn't open the shower door all the way.

Bit noisy at night, with very loud toilet flushing and doors slamming,

Again room kinda small and it took a little getting use to that one of the beds was pretty much a half step away from the bathroom door.

20 on the 2nd floor even had doors opening onto a small terrace with ivy covered trellis & a table and chairs.

Still, I did not like the idea of my room being unlocked in this manner – especially after I returned one evening and found the door unlocked even then – WHICH MEANS THAT THE DOOR TO MY ROOM HAD BEEN LEFT OPEN ALL DAY.

The only complaint came from the people next door.

Only the door of the shower didn't close that well so the bathroom was a bit flooded after a shower.

We were pleasantly surprised to find the rooftop bar and enjoyed a glass of wine while watching  an almost full moon rise over the city.

Rooftop bar was great, nice selection of drinks, including cocktails.

The room was cleaned daily and was spotless.The hotel is really central and it’s easy to access all the sights, and the rooftop bar is lovely.

The rooftop bar is a brilliant way to end a long day sightseeing.

There is a quaint rooftop bar that provides   beautiful nighttime  views.

The rooftop bar was great and the location was also ideal.

The rooftop bar is stunning, especially at sunset, and it’s an easy way to wrap up an active day of sight seeing with a relaxing view.

Rooftop bar is very cool, stays open til midnight and the front desk people were quite helpful.

Staff: Super nice, friendly and speak good english
The rooftop bar was really nice and gave us a great view of the city and sunsets!

The cherry on top was the beautiful rooftop bar with amazing views!!

The rooftop bar is the game changer here.

The rooftop bar has wonderful views and is a nice relaxing space to spend an evening.

Breakfast was of a good quality
Rooftop bar was amazing
Room was clean and well presented 
Only downfall only 1 plug socket in the room that took a travel adaptor and you couldn't charge devices when you were away from the room

The rooftop bar was lovely to go to at the end of the day and watch the sunset with a drink.

The rooms are small and the bathroom was tiny ( shower stall is quite squishy and the location of the water handle isn’t optimal).

The room and bathroom was quite small, and the hallways were loud.

North Americans may find the rooms and bathrooms small

Both were small and basic, dated in their furnishings, with small bathrooms.

but rooms were super small and shower was unconventional (handheld).

If I had to find something negative, I guess it would be that the shower is too small,

Small bathroom - might be a challenge for larger folk.

The room and bathroom were a little small

Bathroom was a bit small, not much room between toilet and zink in our room,

Room was small and shower is not for anyone that is not skinny.

The beds were a little uncomfortable and the stand up shower was small,

The room although very well kept was a little on the small side

The bad: the room was tiny, the bed was uncomfortable, and the  TV screen was smaller than our computer monitor, with not even CNN in English despite the hotel being full of English speaking tourists.

The rooms are a little on the small side,

We had a hard time getting use to how small the room was, we had two single beds and it was smaller than twin size.

Bad points are rooms quite small and walls are paper thin.

The rooms were exceptionally clean, albeit room 31 was a little small.

The room was small and did not feel like 16m2.

Room top terrace must be amazing in the long summer months.

It was nice to have a private terrace area.

We went mid October and were very pleased that the terrace was still open.

The roof top terrace was stunning at night watching the sun set.

Smashing hotel with a fantastic roof top terrace.

The roof top terrace was a big bonus with a fabulous view of Rome and it's gorgeous sunsets.

When we came back to check in we were pleasantly surprised with our own private little terrace off the back, very quiet.

Check out the 8th floor terrace bar toward evening- beautiful view of the city!

The roof terrace and bar are just stunning.
