The hotel is just a 5 min walk to the colosseum, you just turn to your right when leaving the reception and straight down the street.

The amenities at this hotel include a rooftop restaurant for breakfast and dinner with a view of the Colosseum.

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.

The location is ideal, the area is safe and quiet and also just a 5 minute walk to the Colosseum.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, between Colosseum and Caracalla, Domus aurea etc).

The location was good, only 10mins walk to Colosseum and the metro.

The rooms were perfect, staff gracious and pleasant, rates exceptional and the rooftop restaurant with a view of the Colosseum at sunset was priceless.

but beware the view over The Colosseum looks great, but can be very windy, best to sit on the other side of the roof.

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.

Hotel is really clean, big rooms, superb location for walking very close to the Colosseum, good choice of restaurants near the hotel, excellent breakfast choice, staff are very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is in a great location, just a few minutes walk down hill to the Colosseum.

The hotel is located right next to the colosseum and there are so many coffee shops, gelato cafes and restaurants nearby.

Breakfast is amazing, view on the Colosseum is brilliant from the 4th floor!

The breakfast was abundant and served on a beautiful terrace with a view of the Colosseum.

The location is literally next to Colosseum and the street next to it has a lot of nice restaurants and pubs.

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

We liked taking a walk at night around the Colosseum.

The location is ideal, you have public transport connections almost next door and it takes literally 4min walking from the front desk to the Colosseum.

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

We also had an iron and asked for it not be taken out of room by room service.

Requested an iron one morning, nobody came to bring us one.

When I asked for an iron, I was told it was against the rules in Rome.

Asking for an ironing board and iron was difficult.

but perhaps providing a laundry room with an iron or two would be a less greedy option.

To our surprise, they do not provide irons in their rooms and do not have any to lend in the hotel.

Oh bring your own travel iron as there are no facilities for this unless you want to pay, leave the mini bar well alone and drinks in hotel itself were very expensive!

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

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.

(Oddly, the hairdryer was in the desk, bolted down. This was a little difficult to use,

The pictures of the rooms are very misleading, you are not allowed irons in your room & a charge of £4 to iron per item is expensive do not rely on the emergency alarm cord in the bathroom as I pulled this thinking it was an extractor no one came after 20 min I had to find the shut down

but if we did have a few negative points then;

Kathryn said the hair dryer in the room was poor!

The room supplied toiletries a hair dryer and a mini bar under the TV (which was not a flat screen).

I'm not sure why all other hotels can provide an iron

As my clothes were very wrinkled and needed ironing,  I requested one at the front desk

bad:
 - bathrooms: weak shower pressure, no dryer, small space
 - we had to switch rooms twice (1st time too close to lobby (loud), 2nd time toilet broken) - eventually settled for the 3rd room

Has and has not - There was no iron or ironing board

Stayed here for 3 nights, loved it, the staff are very friendly, and helpful.

Front desk staff were friendly, efficient, and very helpful.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, good location.

We had a great stay with wonderful staff that were very friendly and helpful.

The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

As soon as we arrived the staff were friendly and went beyond expectations to ensure we had a pleasant trip.

The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful and breakfast was beautifully presented with helpful staff.

The staff were friendly polite funny and charming.

Amazing location, very friendly and helpful concierge, spacious and quiet rooms, great breakfast (both for grownups and children).

The workers at the hotel are very friendly.

Arrived at the  hotel  to a friendly welcome from the lady on reception, lots of recommendations of where to go and where to eat.

but everything was clean and the hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming.

The staff are friendly and quick to respond to any requests you may have.

Our stay was made to be a perfect "10" because of the helpful and friendly front desk staff.

Friendly reception staff on arrival and departure.

The downside: it’s a 10-15 minute walk to a metro if you want to go to further locations, and there are several stairs leading up to the entrance, with no staff available to help you bring your bags up.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is, it’s perfect and in a really helpful location for food and ‘mooching around’.

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

Attentive staff, good location (close to historic sites

It’s a great location and everything is within walking distance, even the Vatican which is further away is still an hour walk away or a short bus trip away.

Myself and my Girlfriend stayed for four nights and its such a fantastic location and the staff are magnificent.

The location was perfect and the breakfast on the rooftop terrace was delicious.

Hotel Capo d'africa superb location places you next to Colisseum and historial city center.

Great hotel in a very convenient Location.

Angelique, who checked us in had us laughing at our poor Italian and her good English.

It was pricey, the pasta was very poor and the fish I had was inedible due to numerous bones.

And the staff were very helpful and friendly,
However the shower was poor - really feeble.

Breakfast was a poor choice over the 3 day’s and the service was very slow.

I do not recognise at all the comments from some other contributors about poor service, poor food at breakfast, or dated rooms.

Except for the last day, the staff were not as charming (though attempting to be) and one member we heard several times recommending a restaurant nearby which he had recommended to us which was poor in every way  -  makes you wonder. .

but I have to say the service was poor and unwelcoming for this standard of hotel.

but at least we were not those poor souls standing in line, waiting hours for a table.

It didn't keep to the route, missed stops, the commentary was very poor, and the map indicating the bus stops was inaccurate and not to scale.

Room service on the first night produced a pretty poor meal- bland and dry.

We didn't eat at the hotel in the evening and I suspect that the poor lunch menu reflects the fact that the chefs don't work then.

though the price was far too high for the standard/services offered - I would have benched it at ~ €180 a night not €300+ and the breakfast was very poor.

Message - read average and poor contributions as well to get an accurate unbiased account.

My Summary:
Either the hotel standard in Rome is extremly poor and expensive or the reviews of this hotel is outdated.

We would not recommend the Archeobus – the commentary was poor and did not relate to the location of the bus.

Just a few minutes' walk from the famous Colosseum and the ancient Roman Forum, this hotel is a perfect destination for some of the best of what this incredible city has to offer.

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

The hotel is very close to many prime attractions including the Colosseum and Roman Forum.

It was walking distance to the Colosseum and Roman Forum.

The Colloseum and Roman forum is only a five minute walk away.

Loved this hotel and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome

Ps Book your tickets for the Colosseum and Roman forum and Vatican etc on line it’s much quicker and you skip the queues .

Colloseum and Roman Forum are literally 2 blocks away.

This modern hotel is a 5 minute walk to the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill.

Great hotel if you want to be close to the Coliseum and Roman Forum and away for the busier and noisier part of Rome.

The hotel is within a 5 min walk of the colloseum and roman forum.

Just a five minute walk to the Coliseum and Roman Forum.

Well-appointed, nice contemporary style, rooftop terrace with view of the Coliseum, very conveniently located to the Roman Forum and Coliseum.

Just minutes from the colosseum and the Roman Forum.

We also regularly walked into the main city centre to visit other attractions like the Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Monument and Pantheon; that walk took about 15-20 minutes and there was plenty to see along the way so it was a nice walk.

This medium sized boutique hotel, 65 rooms I think I recall reading, is a mere 3 blocks from the Colosseo and Roman Forum, at the end of quiet via with a few pleasant, reasonably priced restaurants along its length.

Situated on a quiet back street of Rome, within a short walk from the Colisseum and Roman Forum, this gem of a hotel is perfect for a stay in the Eternal City.

but in short walking distance from the colosseum and Roman Forum.

the Roman Forum and for walking to the Appian Way.

Location for Capo d'Africa was excellent, it's located only 2 blocks away from the Colisseum so we could walk easily to the Colisseum, Roman forum and Trajan market (and therefore also easy distance to Flor gelateria in via Cavour, one of the best icecreams ever), also there are several good trattorias and pizzerias within these 2 block ratio which was very nice because we could have dinner close to the hotel after very busy days.

From the minute we arrived, we were greeted by the very pleasant Massimo who made us instantly feel so welcome.

After arriving at the airport with a taxi strike, we got to the hotel on a wing and a prayer and were greeted by Massimo who promptly booked us a car the next morning back to the airport and a dinner reservation at a wonderful restaurant around the corner.

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.

The staff are the real stars, all are glad to see you, want to help and very knowledgeable.

Also, from the moment we walked in the door everyone, especially Giovanni, was kind and pleasant which made for a wonderful stay for me and my mother.

All members of staff were welcoming & courteous.

Good to have 24/7 staff who really helped with tours/advice/taxis etc

The rooms were nice just a shame there is no coffee or tea making facilities.

No tea and coffee making facilities, which is definitely needed.

One tip I would like to share - could the hotel leave tea and coffee making facilities in the room, as we had to ask for it.

I was also a little disappointed that there were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room, apparently this was for 'health and hygiene purposes' which I'm slightly irked about as we've stayed in a lot of 5*hotels around the world and never come across this explanation.

One minor complaint- no tea and coffee making facilities in the room .

The only thing that we were disappointed with was there was no complimentary tea or coffee making facilities  in room.Plenty of places to eat nearby.

Only downside is no tea/coffee making facilities.

Firstly the lack of tea/coffee making facilities and secondly the extreme firmness of the mattress.

Lovely hotel, only two pieces of criticsm, I was very disappointed to find that there are no tea/coffee making facilities in the room, and the drink prices on the rooftop garden were very expensive, other than that ideally located to visit all the major attractions

There were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room.

There were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room

The rooms could do with having tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms.

No coffee or tea making facilities in the room.

..a shame tea/coffee making  facilities were not available.

but only 1 upright chair & no tea & coffee making facilities.

One thing We could have kicked ourselves for forgetting was a kettle , as there are no tea making facilities and we really missed our cuppa!

but not stocked with many of the items listed in the menu, there's no tea and coffee making equipment and the TV (not that you come to Rome to watch TV) has only a smattering of English channels.

The beds were a bit hard, as they often are in southern Europe.

The bed was a little hard for my bad back,

The beds was very hard and not comfortable.

Only issue the bed had a very firm mattress.

The only thing I thought was the bed was too firm for me

The beds were hard and not comfortable and we found one English Channel on the tv.

but smallish and mainly comfy except the bed and pillows were a bit hard.

however the tv had no channels in English and the bed was as hard as a rock, granted some people may preffer a harder bed.

Bed was very hard, my partner struggled to sleep on it.

Bed so hard if you told me we slept on a box spring I'd believe it.

We found the bed quite hard as the week went on.

My only possible complaint was the beds were a little hard for me, an my girlfriend agreed on this.

The only complaint I have was the bed was a little hard for my liking

The bed was very hard and according to the staff it was because of regulations; all the beds had to be same type non-allergic beds.

The hotel is clean, the staff friendly & professional!

Very friendly staff and always willing to help you with visiting the sites .

They were friendly and responsive to everyone of our questions and needs.

Staff is very friendly and helpful, and speaks English really well.

The staff in the hotel were very friendly, the restaurant staff which included Salvatore were exceptionally friendly and welcoming and made our evenings really relaxed after a lot of walking around the city.

The hotel staff were always polite, friendly and helpful.

All the staff were friendly and courteous, and no complaints at all.

The staff were friendly and extremely helpful, the food was excellent and the rooftop bar has to be the best place to see the sunset in Rome!

Our room was spacious and comfortable; the staff were friendly and the roof-top terrace served a limited

Convenient location and expert friendly staff.

The staff are very friendly & helped a lot with directions etc.

It would be hard to fault this hotel; friendly and welcoming staff, high standard of cleanliness and hygiene, good food, fantastic rooftop bar and restaurant.

Staff were all friendly & looked after us.

Great location for ease to all touring spots.

A great hotel in a great location off the hustle and bustle.

The hotel was located a little outside of the centre of town

Location is very convenient and walking distance to several good restaurants and small cafes.

The location was great, with a couple of really good restaurants on the street and about 20 mins walk to the Spanish steps.

This hotel is in a great location for accessing all main sites of this beautiful city.

The location was great for us as we don’t mind walking and prefer to be a little bit out of the centre.

The hotel was lovely, great location, the best ice cream only round the corner!

It’s not often that you can say a location is prettier than the pictures,

Lovely location, just a bus ride away from the central bus/train station that takes you every where you need to go.

Wonderful place to stay, great location, exceptional service!

Great location, ebikes & scooters right outside.

The small local restaurants were some of the best we had in Rome!

The roof top garden was a plus with good food.

Located in a street off a main road with lots of good restaurants and a great coffee bar (right out of hotel door and first left) A delightful roof top bar and restaurant where we had breakfast lunch and drinks.

While the front desk was very nice, especially the gentleman that helped me with dinner reservations, the rooms were very small.

The upstairs bar area restaurant is very nice .

They made reservations at restaurants, set up rides to the airport and various other things, had tickets to tour buses around the city.

This awesome hotel is near the train station and several restaurants.

The food was good and gave choice from pizza's, to fish and meat dishes, so something for everyone.

Breakfast on the rooftop was first class, and a beer or glass of wine on the rooftop bar in the evening was superb.

In the end we were able to get a three course meal at cost to the hotel.

The rooftop garden restaurant  was beautiful!

but was surrounded by great places to eat.

The food in the rooftop restaurant is also really awesome.

Exceptional hotel, beautiful renovated rooms, magnificent roof top bar/breakfast area (which also offers great dinners).

It was in a great location with all attractions we wanted to see within walking distance (Trevi Fountain, The Colloseum, Roman Forum, etc).

From the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain & Spanish Steps I believe the hotel is located within 1 mile to 1.5 miles.

The hotel is within walking distance of the main sights, around 15 mins to the Colosseo/Palatino/Roman Forum, 20-25 mins to the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps and about 1 hour to the Vatican City.

The location is indeed fantastic - we did not use public transport once, despite visiting all the main sights inc Collaseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Capotiline Hill, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, Trastevere and Villa Borghese and zoo to name a few.

Clean and comfortable beds - A 15-20 minute walk to all mail attractions all downhill - I would recommend this hotel without a problem

but we were OK with that as walking was fine for all of us.

The Colosseum can be reached in about 40 mins, the Vatican in about the same and Termini is roughly 15 mins walk.

We were roughly a 20 minute walk from the Spanish steps.

There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance and we also walked from the train station in about 15 minutes.

The hotel is a 15 minute walk to Piazza di Spagna

but not an issue if you don’t mind walking as only 30 minutes to the Colloseum or the Pantheon.

5/5 excellent hotel spotlessly clean 
Very friendly and helpful staff have stayed there three times and hopefully a fourth time ten minuet walk into town metro 5mins away from the hotel transport excellent lovely top bar to watch the sun go down

The train station is a 15 min walk or 5 min taxi drive away too.

The hotel was perfect! It was in a good location with easy access to all the major sites of Rome either by 
walking or by taxi (which we found was cheap so decided not to use public transport.)

Such a good location, about a 15 minute walk to trevi fountain.

It is a short walk from the center of the area, and the transportation stations.

Ideally situated near the train station and only 20-30mins walk to main attractions.

Friendly staff, comfortable facilities and in a good location (20-30 minute walk to most sights).

Stayed at this hotel which is within 15 minutes walk to the Trevi Fountains.

The bed wasn’t the comfiest bed I’ve slept in and the walls are very thin, you can here everything on a morning

This might explain the fabric on the walls!

I was assigned a room on the 1st floor, incredibly noisy due to very thin walls, ridiculously small and with a single bed in a corner of the room.
