Lift
Most European hotels have small, slow lifts,

Several things to consider: the elevator is rather slow and small,

but again we never once heard anyone getting on or off the elevator our entire stay!!

Also the lift was incredibly slow every time we used it, so much so that I walked up and down several times and we were on the sixth floor.

The spa-facility was in the basement-floor and to my understanding there wasn't a elevator that went down, so again keep that in mind if you are handicapped.

The only original piece of the hotel was a very wooden elevator in the A section of the hotel.

If you do decide to take the Metro to the nearest station, note that Republica Station is still closed due to an escalator collapse last year.

One small downside - elevator takes time during rush hours, so better use the stairs if possible.

.but in the spirit of this site, I've risen to the challenge and decided I had to wait too long for the elevator.

If I have to name a few shortcomings: rooms are smaller than American standard, walls are thin, hallway noise can easily be perceived sometimes, our room had no view, water pipes behind walls generate some noise during the night, elevator sometimes can get slow.

We had a room upgrade and I was a little concerned when I discovered that it was next to the lift

They have an old school elevator on the back side of the hotel that you must use it really gives you a feel for how old the hotel is.

That room was on the 5 th floor(beware the lift only goes to 4) so you do have to walk one flight of stairs .

Great location, fabulous staff and spacious, immaculate rooms.

The location is perfect, walking distance to most of the places you will want to see and lots of stores and restaurants on its doorstep (including Ambrosia, their rooftop restaurant which is fab).

The location was very good as we could get to all our tours easily by walking.

The hotel is located in a very central place that is easy to get around and the staff will hail you a cab whenever you need to get to your destinations.

It is conveniently located within walking distance to the Coliseum, the Forum, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.

Location was brilliant and in walking distance to main attractions.

We just spent another 5 days at this well located 4 star hotel.

Location
The hotel is a 10 mins walk from the main Termini and 5 mins walk to Repubblica metro.

Central location and easy walk to many attractions.

The location of the hotel is excellent - you are within walking distance of most attractions such as the spanish steps and trevi fountain.

Friendly, helpful staff and modern rooms plus a central location were our favorite points of the hotel.

The hotel is centrally located with a 10 min walk to the Trevi Fountain and perhaps a 20 min walk to the Colosseum.

The location of the hotel is great, too - close to the ancient sites I wanted to see and about a 10-minute walk from the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.

The rooms are immaculate and modern with exceptional free wifi and fully stocked minibar and coffee making facilities 
The roof top bar and restaurant serves amazing food and superb cocktails 
The location is perfectly located near other bars and restaurants and literally a short walk from Trevi fountain and The colosseum

Great location - we walked to every attraction (Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine hill, Pantheon, Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, Jewish Ghetto, Trastevere) apart from Vatican City.

The location was about a 12 minute walk from the train station, 20 minutes to Colosseum/Palatine Hill/Forum, 15 minutes to Trevi Fountain, 20 minutes to Spanish Steps, 20 minutes to Pantheon and a bit further to Piazza Navona.

In fact we were kind of told not to shower at "off peak" times as the system might be resetting and that's why there is poor pressure, whatever that means.

but after reading all the other reviews abt people celebrating at the hotel it was bit poor that they had to be reminded.

He should be fired, what a poor welcome to Rome & such a lovely hotel!

Not sure how this hotel has such high rating with such poor customer service from management.

We didn't want to have housekeeping deal with it so my husband and I cleaned the entire bathroom with the chemicals, towels and bags that the poor housekeeping lady provided.

Since halal kebab places had poor food quality and hygiene best option was to stick with fish or vegetarian.

Pre arrival I had been in contact with hotel as was travelling with someone who had poor mobility.

We had dinner for my birthday in the Ambrosia Restaurant and the food, wine and service was excellent.

The food was actually better than the Michelin restaurant we dined at.

Service was outstanding throughout and the rooftop meal included in our stay was amazing!

What makes this hotel stand out beyond all others is the hotel front desk staff and the restaurant staff!

Gave us great restaurant suggestions and made the reservations for us, even last minute!

Every possible food on the buffet as well as passed crostini ( delicious) and fresh pastries.

Ambrosia restaurant and drinks on rooftop bar also fantastic.

but the descriptions were too convoluted & who wants pork belly for a lovely meal 😂
Desserts & cocktails to die for though 😘

This breakfast was enough for the day, leaving room for a gelato in the afternoon ( just 2 doors away) and we often finished off with a pizza at Pizza Target.

There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby for dining and retail therapy.

A wonderful hotel w roof top bar and restaurant.

The breakfast was excellent with a huge selection of food and delicious pastries.

but that was because it is so popular with the food being so nice.

They also arranged a car from the airport for us and made our dinner reservations upon request.

Taxis were inexpensive to and from dinner and always prompt.

It included a bottle of wine and strawberries in the room, an hour-long couple’s massage and an absolutely FANTASTIC multi-course dinner and drinks at their rooftop restaurant, Ambrosia.

Rooftop bar and restaurant is very nice, We didn’t eat there, But had drinks and it was excellent.

Outstanding service - easy check in and out process - fantastic breakfast and staff - awesome rooftop bar and staff - super comfortable room with excellent  a/c - and the front desk staff is the best of the best. Oh.

We were in a deluxe room and it had more than enough room, luggage and all.

The rooms are well appointed and spotless.

We had a larger room which was very nice.

The gentleman in the breakfast room extremely friendly and efficient.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday in Rome and the staff sent a bottle of Prosecco to our room,

Rooms are cool, well appointed and very quiet.

Room
We booked the Comfort Double room and the room is newly furnished so it was a very clean and comfortable stay.

The room was very comfortable and spacious, with air conditioning, free minibar which is topped up every day and you do get a very good nights sleep.

Room was cleaned everyday and fresh towels everyday.

We received 2 vouchers for Prosecco to have on their roof top bar and we were then shown to our room on 6th floor (#623) which was one of their basic double rooms.

Plus, the room was perfect for the three of us - not always easy to find in Europe, a room to accommodate 3 people.

however that didn’t matter as we were hardly in the room and the bed (the hotel are testing various new mattresses) was so comfortable and massive.

We had a room (409) away from the main road which was fabulous as it was so so quiet!

Conclusion
I would not stay here again just because of the rude service.

but if you want any advice on where to eat or to buy something or where something is open, I do not want to be rude, but you're better off asking someone on the street or using Google.

Though I'm sure it isn't true of all the staff, our waiter was rude, arrogant, and not a little bit condescending.

Also the Host in the rooftop bar/restaurant was very rude and offhand to us on 2 occasions when we visited.

The only issue was that our window looked right into brick wall so not much of a view

There was long black hairs on two sides of the shower walls, hair in the drain and used soap in the soap dish.

but marked up on walls and peeling paint in bathroom ceilings.

You cannot hear anything through the walls or even any other room doors opening and closing.

Drop into the lobby bathrooms and notice the wall treatments and fixtures.

We had to squeeze in between the wall mounted tv and the bed to get to the very cramped bathroom.

location

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.

A two minute walk to the end of the Via Capo D'Africa and you're confronted with the Colosseum, and along with it the Forum, Palatine Hill and a few minutes further on the Circus Maximus, so perfect for anyone who is planning around the ancient sites.

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

3 blocks from the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, The Fora and Domus Aurea.

The location near the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, the Forum and San Clemente is fantastic.

The Capo d'Africa is superbly situated for Ancient Roman areas of interest, the Colosseum,  Palatine Hill and Forum.

Finally,if you plan on visiting the Collosseum,the queues can be huge,especially with all the security checks now in place so what we did was buy our entrance tickets from a little booth across the road on the Palatine Hill side of the Collosseum.

The hotel is located on a quiet street near the Coliseum and Palatine Hill.

The Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Forum were all less than a 10 minute walk away.

Location: The Colosseum, Roman Forum, the Pantheon, and Palatine Hill just to mention a few were within walking distance.

The location was excellent - just a couple if blocks from the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and several other historical sites, as well as several good restaurants.

Fantastic accommodation, great location -you can walk to the Colosseum, Roman Forum , Palatine Hill the Spanish steps , Trivi fountain etc. .

The hotel is a few blocks away from the Coliseum, Forum and Palatine Hill.

This gem of a hotel sits at the end of a quiet street within the penumbra of the Coliseum and only a brief walk from the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and other ancient sites, including one my favorites, the often overlooked excavations at the Basilica di San Clemente, which consists of a church built on top of a church built on top of a first century pagan temple.

Walking distance from many sights of 'old' Rome (Colosseum, Palatine Hill, River Tibor, Circus Maximus) and Train takes you everywhere else ie Vatican City - 20 mins, Spagna, - 10 mins.

Nice location just three blocks or so from the Colliseum, Palatine Hill and then the Forum.

The location was perfect for us, being 5 mins walk from Palatine Hill, Colesseum, Roman Forum etc and only 25 mins from Piazza Novona/Pantheon area.

A glance at a map of Rome will show that the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill are adjacent to the Colosseum with the Capitoline Hill at the other end of the Forum, so the hotel is extremely well situated for these attractions.

The location to the Coliseum, Forum and Palatine Hill area is perfect.

The location - near the Colosseum and metro 'Colosseo' - is excellent: the Forum, the Palatine Hill, the Colosseum, the Basilica di San Clemente, San Giovanni in Laterano, Piazza Venezia, Piazza Campidoglio, etc.

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.

Had dinner in the hotel on the first night, the food was excellent, and priced the same as any of the restaurants we went to outside.

Normally, we find hotel restaurants to be lackluster

All the staff were so pleasant, especially Massimo who was like having a friend with us on our holiday who organised and advised us the whole time, which included booking us excellent local restaurants.

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

There were several restaurants around as well, with a careefour express nearby.

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.

The rooftop restaurant has amazing views.

This hotel is 2 blocks away from the Coolesseo plus trains, buses access and local restaurants within 5 minutes from it.

Wonderful restaurants within walking distance!

There are so many small family owned restaurants around the property where you can eat with the locals and that prepare homemade Italian food that was amazing.

Close to all historical sites and there are many restaurants nearby.

There's also a small supermarket if you want to grab some food for a picnic in one of the beautiful local parks.

- bars, delicious pizzas, restaurants for all tastes.

Plenty of places nearby for tasty pizza, pasta and gelato 😊

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.

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

Capo D'Africa Hotel - Colosseo

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.
