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

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.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, good location.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

All members of staff were welcoming & courteous.

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

The room was impeccable and we had the terrace suite.

The room was immaculate as was the hotel, very ideally located close to the metro and a short walk to the Spanish steps and Trevi Fountain, would gladly book again in the future.

I can’t say enough fantastic things about this gorgeous, quaint, clean, amazing boutique hotel perfectly located.

but the bed was so comfortable, the bathroom lovely, everything very clean.

Great location, Great staff,  organized and well super clean rooms, amazing breakfast included in the price.

The room was clean, well maintained and very quiet.

It was also super clean and our room was great.

There is a lounge for afternoon drinks and the whole hotel is spotless!

The hotel and rooms are kept spotless too!

Room was spacious, clean and nicely appointed.

although somewhat small, very good and clean.

They were clean, beds were very comfortable, and the employees were so kind.

We had two rooms (one suite, which I highly recommend) on the same floor which were clean, cozy and had everything we needed (robe, slippers, etc.).

Sure the Hotel Barocco is in a prime location and clean, quiet and comfortable

Needless to say that everything was spotless and breakfast is soooo yammi.

My hotel room was impeccably clean, with a comfortable bed and spacious shower stall.

Fabulous location (walking distance to Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps; short taxi to the Vatican and Colosseum).

7 minute walk to Trevi Fountain, 5 minute walk from the Spanish Steps and about a 15 minute walk to the colosseum.

5 minute walk to the Spanish Steps, 10 minute walk to Trevi Fountain, 15 minute walk to The Pantheon, 10 minute Metro ride to the Colosseum, and maybe 15 to the Vatican.

My daughter and I walked everywhere--the Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, etc.

It’s about a 20 min walk to the colosseum which is actually great because whatever route you take you end up passing all kinds of monuments, fountains, amazing buildings- I accidentally came across the Pantheon!

The hotel, located in the Piazza Barberini, is close to all the main sights including the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Borghese Gallery, Pantheon, Colosseum etc.etc.

Great location near the Trevi Fountain and metro stop, plus a short walk to Pantheon, Spanish Steps, opera house, and walkable to the Colosseum.

Great location to trains and of you go to the Vatican or the Colosseum . anywhere!!!

We walked from there to the Vatican, Trastevere, Aventine Hill, the Colosseum, Paletine Hill, and the Borghese Gardens.

We booked a taxi from the hotel for our tours of the Vatican and Colosseum

The hotel is also in a great location, within walking distance of many places including the Colosseum and the Spanish Steps.

The Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Via Veneto and Colosseum are all within a light 25 minute walk.

Also walkable to Borghese Gallery, Piazza del Popolo, and Termini Station; for the more ambitious, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and the Colosseum are doable.

We were able to walk to all the major attractions such as the Colosseum, Forum, Trevi fountain, etc.

We took a taxi to the Colosseum and Vatican and cost was about $10.50 euros for each location.

For example: Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps.

5 min walk from Trevi & Pantheon, 20 from the Colosseum & the metro being so close makes the Vatican an easy trip less than 20/30 minutes away!!!

Colosseum, Pantheon, Bourgeoisie Palace all walk able!

To make the most of a first trip, get a guided walking tour and an Eatitaly Food tour and book your Colosseum and Forum tickets in advance to print at home.

but there was an additional short flight of stairs (5-6 steps) to reach my room from the hallway.

The hotel footprint is quite small and accordingly everything inside the hotel is small from the door to the hotel to the lobby and halls and elevator and most importantly the rooms.

The doors to the hallways are made of ridiculously thick wood to keep the noise out.

We were in Room 48; took the elevator to the 5th floor, then walked down 2 short flights of stairs and hallway to our room -- similar to a room we had at Banff Spring Resort years ago!

This is an old set of buildings so the hallways are a bit snug and the

We stayed in a deluxe double overlooking the plaza and fountain.

We recently spent 3 nights at the Barocco Hotel in rooms 42 and 44 (across the hall from each other).

However, I felt that the interior decor was dated and the corridors to the room were narrow and a little bit creepy.

We had a chance to check out the room across the hallway from us, which we would have much preferred.

My compliments to the staff and the management for employing and training them
What not to expect in the Barroc it is a boutique hotel small reception narrow corridors,

There were little angles and a tiny corridor to the bathroom which added to the interest and ambiance of the room.

But, newly renovated, bar the fact that the entrance is on the side of the building & not the front (although it says hotel on a old door) & the fact that the corridors might have been narrow, the renovated rooms/hotel looks amazing.

Our room was next to the entry door to the hall so Id recommend not getting that room if you want to sleep in,

however once inside these are all features that give the hotel it's feeling of warmth and make it stand out from the 'norm' - marble floors and walls, large displays of fresh flowers at intervals throughout the corridors; small bespoke stairs and only five or six guest rooms per floor make the experience unique and without doubt when returning to Rome we will stay at this hotel again.

The sound does travel in the corridors which may be due, in part, to the marble floors.

As other reviewers have mentioned the corridor flooring means you can hear people walking up and down outside the room and it was a little annoying not to have aircon available as it was winter

The Hotel should consider carpeting the hallways to minimize sound.

The property is located near the Trevi Fountain and walking distance to most attractions in Rome.

Centrally located and easy access to alll points of Rome.

The hotel is a charming boutique hotel
 beautiful small sweet 
Great location
lovely breakfast /restaurant /bar
 the front desk service was exquisite and wonderfully friendly

We are looking forward to staying there again

Wonderful location - easy to get on hop on/hop off bus (across the piazza), coffee shops and cafes all around the piazza, easy for taxi & scooters etc.

The location is terrific, in walking distance to many of Rome's famous sights.

It is in a great location and close to a lot of the important things people come to Rome to see.

The location is excellent and allows easy access to key sites around the city and to the Metro.

The location of the hotel cannot be beat.

This is an excellent hotel in a great location.

the hotel is about two blocks from the top of the Spanish Steps so the location is phenomenal!

We chose it because of its location as being central to a lot of attractions we wanted to revisit.

Great location as well, close to the Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, Four Seasons corner and other sites, as well as great stores.

The hotel is in a wonderful location - an easy walk to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon.

Great location - close to a number of the key Rome attractions, close to the best shopping and there are many wonderful restaurants & bars close by.

but the AC was poor, bed sheet quality was poor and itchy, and the shower did not drain so we were taking a shower in a pool of water and had to stop before it overflowed.

The cost was less then a poor glass at home without nibbles!

Lighting was poor and of course no makeup mirror.

Would not recommend eating in the conservatory restaurants located around the corner from the hotel-very poor food and service.

Bad: The room size was disappointing, the room design was very poor.

WIFI:  Unfortunately wifi was very poor and as a business traveler this was a bit challenging -

We had a standard room which was not large and had a poor view

We both jumped on it before the poor gentleman showing us the room amenities could gasp in surprise!

Room 13 is small with poor lighting and a limited view.

Although wi-fi is free, connection is very poor and you have to keep logging in.

We had a lovely room with a bath and shower.

Rooms are fabulous, we stayed twice / once at the front end of our 14 day trip through Italy / then again at the end since we flew out of Rome both ways.

Our room was adequate, with large windows overlooking the quiet side street.

We stayed in two different rooms, both were of a high standard.

Book the terrace room with jacuzzi and sauna!

We booked a classic room which was fine for one night.

We stayed in a larger room this time that had a small outdoor patio which we loved.

but very comfortable, and we had a room overlooking the Triton Fountain.

Beautiful twin room with elegant touches.

The elevator is really small and could barely fit 2 people and 2 luggages.

It has only 1 small elevator and it takes sometimes a while till it gets to you.

There is one small elevator, appropriate for a hotel of this size and with little wait time.

Elevator was very small and air conditioning was not very cold (typical for Europe).

The elevator was also small and slow and I had to go up four flights of stairs,

Although the elevator was tiny, it was modern and quick to respond when called.

This hotel is in a old building and has been renovated to high modern standards, yet it remains quaint with narrow passageways and a small elevator.

but everywhere in Rome has a small elevator and that really doesn't hold you back.

Our room #62 was a superior located just off the tiny elevator.

I did a lot of research when looking for a hotel in Rome and Hotel Colosseum ticked all the boxes, especially location.

We chose this hotel due to its star rating and location to colosseum and were not disappointed.

Location ideal, 15 mins walk from the Colosseum itself.

Hotel pretty central 15 mins walk to Colosseum, 30 to Trevi Fountain and 40 to Spanish Steps.

Made to feel right at home at the Hotel Colosseum..staff very helpful from the first day to the very last.

Highly recommended Lovely clean hotel great choice breakfast and roof top bar to chill out in nighttime..only ten minutes walk away from colosseum hop on off bus stop across the road by bascillica recommended a two day ticket for the hop on hop off bus great value

A lovely friendly hotel in a great location staff were brilliant and hotel was comfy and clean I will return to this hotel as I enjoyed my stay immensely some good restaurants in the area and only a 15 minute walk to the colosseum

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.

Rome was amazing, we will definitely go back and stay at the Hotel Colosseum again.

Staff was fantastic--great breakfast--best part was rooftop patio--views and service--360 degree view of rome including colosseum.

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

My husband and I were so pleased with our stay at Hotel Colosseum.

This hotel is in a great location for the main train/bus terminal in Rome and as the name suggests the colosseum.

It was clean, quiet, and the rooftop terrace had the best view of the Colosseum that I've seen.

If we will visit again Rome we will stay at Hotel Colosseum!

No fridge in room, no room service, no meals except breakfast - bar available anytime.

but these are the main 'pros'

Cons: no fridge in the room, we were hoping to upgrade our room but none were available the day of (which was totally fine and excepted so last minute and our room was great anyway!).

Although there isn't a kettle in the rooms there is a kettle, tea/coffee, fruit juice and biscuits in the downstairs lounge.

The only thing missing was a bar fridge in the room which would have been useful.

Only con's I would state is no fridge in room, this would make a difference - especially in the hot weather.

but one toilet no fridge in room , it as close to the colosseum and forum but the hotel was very old fashioned ,

Only slight downside was the lack of a fridge in the room
