We did ask the hotel to book a taxi to the Vatican museums as we had a 7.30am tour -but had a lovely walk back, going a bit of the long way round -via the Borghese park.

Cosma e Damiano, Domus Aurea, Chiesa della Maddalena, La Navicella, Chiesa di San Giovanni, Villa Torlonia, Chapel of St. Onofrio, Chiesa di Santa Lucia, Chiesa di San Paolo, "The12Italy" by Francesca, Chiesa di San Pietro, Porto di Claudio, Casa Gotica, Chiesa della Madonna delle Grazie, Chiesa della Visitazione, Chiesa di Santa Maria del Carmine, Chiesa Di Santa Maria Maggiore, Temple of Hadrian, Musei Capitolini, Chiesa di Sant'Agostino, Chiesa di Sant'Ippolito, Chiesa di San Pietro, Villa Imperiale di Pompeo Magno, Chiesa di San Silvestro, Stabilimento Balneare Tirreno, Cesarine - Campagnano di Roma, Chiesa S.Maria degli Angeli, Chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore, Chiesa dei santi Quirico e Giulitta a Castellavazzo, Villa Borghese, Chiesa di Sant'Eustachio, Chiesa di San Bartolomeo, Palazzo Orsini, Parco Energia Ambiente, Terme di Cellomaio, Riserva Naturale Monte Catillo, Palazzo Comunale, Ponte del diavolo di Manziana, Chiesa dei Santi Quirico e Giulitta, Chiesa di Santa Maria de Recepto, Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, Caesar Club, Museo Diocesano di Albano, Chiesa di Santa Maria Porto della Salute, Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, tiger bar Esso, Chiesa dei Cappuccini, Chiesa dei SS.

We went even by walking to the Museum of Villa Borghese and to Piazza del Popolo it is very near  to many Museums: Palazzo Barbaerini, Museo di Roma, etc
The rooms not in the spacious side are big enough with much place to store things.

but everything else was within walking distance including Borghese Galleria.

The Vatican and Borghese Gallery were the only times we needed to use public transport (metro and bus respectively), the stops for both are only a 2-minute walk up the street.

OR you walk 15 minutes up the hill and you're at the Borghese area with great shopping and restaurants.

Hotel is well located for walking; Spanish Steps;15mins, Villa Borghese;20 mins, Collosseum;15 mins, Trevi Fountain;15mins, Termini Station; 10 mins.

You can walk to many attractions like the Roman Forum and the Villa Borghese in less than twenty minutes.

When we left, we congratulated him on the way the breakfast was conducted and he impressed us with the modesty he showed.

Incredible breakfast as a part of the room.

but the main asset of this hotel are Alessandro and his breakfast and restaurant teams!

The rooms and facilities are spotless,  breakfast issuperb.

A plus would be the food, the breakfast especially!

Breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice, Alessandro was the perfect host.

The in room food /drinks included and refilled daily, the breakfast included was 5 star and incredible selection, customer service over all 5/5 star.

Great location, great service, great breakfast and great people!

All staff were impeccable and the breakfasts were simply stunning.

I can still taste the Americano coffee, it was so good, and the food was of highest quality, fresh, and delicious.

The breakfast is excellent with a huge variety and the roof top restaurant has a very nice atmosphere as well as food and drinks.

The rooms and beds are beautiful and comfortable, the staff friendly and accommodating, and we looked forward to the fabulous breakfast every day.

I loved the location as it was very walkable to the train station the Colosseum and many tourist attractions.

Location wise, the hotel is in a good spot, you are within a 30 minute walk of the colosseum, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps.

The location is an easy 1 mile walk from Trevi Fountain and close to the Colosseum as well.

Location is perfect, it’s bang in the centre of Rome – 10 minutes walk from the Termini train station – we just jumped on the train from and to the airport, 10 minute walk to the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and Colosseum and 25 mins to Vatican City.

It was about a 15 minute walk to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, and Trevi fountain.

The hotel is in a brilliant location, being centrally located with the train station, colosseum, trevi fountain, della altare all within 10-15 minutes walk.

The location is convenient, walkable to Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon within 15min.

The location is perfect, walking distance to Trevi Fountain, The Colosseum, The Spanish Steps.

The location is in walking distance to many sites, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and the train terminal.

It is about a 20 minute walk to the Roman Forum and the Colosseum, about 15 minutes to the Pantheon and Trevi fountain and don't forget to visit the Basilica of St Maria Maggiore which is about 10 minutes away.

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

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

It’s only a short walk from major tourist attractions (eg colosseum), the main train station and top notch restaurants.

It was a great location with nearby shopping and restaurants and within walking distance of the train station and the colosseum.

The hotel's location can't be beat--just minutes from the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and a stone's throw from the Spanish Steps and Colosseum.

From the hotel, you can easily walk to the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and Rome Termini train station.

(That is for rooms 724/725 only I believe)
You can easily walk to Trevi, Spanish steps, the Colosseum, Piazza Venezia, and more.

Fantastic location in the Via Nazionale, one of Rome's premier shopping streets and within walking distance of the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, along with Repubblica metro station a couple of minutes walk away.

Location was perfect for what we wanted to see and do with 15 minute walks to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and Trevi Fountain.

Very centrally located walking distance to trevi fountain Spanish steps and colosseum.

Hotel was closed to some restaurants that were really good .

The cocktails are the best I’ve ever tasted, Maurizo Zuddio is an absolute artist and provided excellent customer service!

A few months ago, my husband saw that Alessandro is the new food and beverage manager of the Artemide Hotel.

Honestly, the hotel restaurant had better pasta than other restaurants recommended and reasonably priced.

We did take taxi to some farther dinner reservations

It hit on all points: service, location, restaurant, art gallery

Very good cheap restaurants on the walk to the Colleseum.

Customer service across the hotel, restaurant and spa were all excellent.

especially the most fantastic signature cocktails by the in-house bartender Maurizio..  pop in to the roof top bar for your apperitivo!

They have a beautiful spa and hotel roof top bar and restaurant is incredible.

A lot of the staff were excellent, particularly in the restaurants.

Ambrosia Restaurant is excellent, the filet with truffles is amazing.

even though booked months before, with a surprise beautiful dessert!

My partner and I particularly loved the roof top bar - Ambrosia!

You have to have the signature cocktails at the rooftop bar.

Bartender at the Rooftop bar is a Show all on his own!

The facilities are great, the roof top bar is one of the best in Rome and the cocktails are the best ever.

Visit the rooftop bar for Mauricio’s cocktails, they’re a ‘must’ experience when visiting Rome.

The thing that makes this restaurant truly stand out is its rooftop bar which is always a wonderful way to end your day with some gelato and cocktails.

Breakfast is luxurious, and don’t miss the rooftop bar.

We had evening sunset drinks at the rooftop bar 2 nights

The roof top bar/restaurant is lovely and the food delicious.

Don’t miss the hotel rooftop bar or the breakfast buffet which is one of the best we have ever had.

From the warm welcome to the delicious breakfast to the awesome rooftop bar, we had a great stay at Artemide.

The bonus of a very nice rooftop bar is very pleasant in the evenings.

Don't miss the rooftop bar and the fun bartender.

Breakfasts are superb,  Roof top bar was a wonderful oasis, delicious cocktails, amazing view, again fabulous food (need to book ahead).

Loved the rooftop bar, restaurant, spa, and excellent complimentary breakfast (cappuccino, pastries, eggs, sausages, fresh fruit).

Rooms were great, Rooftop bar/restaurant is great place to have cocktails. Amazing breakfast served in the morning (best cappuccino and croissants we had!)

The rooftop bar area was a lovely spot to relax and refresh after sightseeing.

At the Ambrosia rooftop restaurant we spent a wonderful evening.

We did the romance package which included a couples massage and dinner at the rooftop restaurant, all included.

we went back to roof top resturant for dinner , again another wonderful meal .

We had pre booked a table at the Ambrosia Roof top restaurant for Sunday night our arrival day and actual wedding anniversary.

Rooms are clean comfortable and modern with generous bathrooms for a European hotel 

Staff are warm friendly and helpful 

Breakfast buffet is excellent and a huge range 

great rooftop restaurant

but the Artemis rooftop restaurant is  true gourmet cuisine, and while we ate many meals outside the hotel , all of our best dining experiences were in the roof top restaurant.

Hotel gave a voucher for a Prosecco at their Rooftop restaurant /bar which was also very nice touch.

The breakfast was amazing, our spa treatment was wonderful, and we had a delicious rooftop dinner here.

Had a fantastic dinner in the rooftop restaurant behind a lovely sunset!

Great service, perfect location, very clean, the breakfast is fabulous, nice room and amenities, loved the convenience of the minibar being included, the spa was quite enjoyable, and your rooftop restaurant served a terrific meal.

We ate twice in the restaurant's rooftop restaurant, which was much better than average for a hotel eatery.

The hotel sent me a confirmation reminder e-mail to which I replied and asked them to make a dinner reservation for us at the rooftop restaurant, Ambrosia.

The other treat is Ambrosia Rooftop Restaurant.

We had the opportunity to have dinner and drinks on the rooftop restaurant, Ambrosia, great food and customized cocktails.

I’m not going to repeat what everyone else has mentioned, as we would be only repeating the positive messages (friendly staff, great food on the roof top, breakfast is good, very clean hotel, minibar restocked daily,  and located in a better part of Rome).

Their roof top restaurant Ambrosia was top notch.

The rooftop restaurant was a great feature too -food was very good and a perfect place for an aperitivo.

The staff are outstanding from the front desk to the rooftop restaurant.

The basic rooms are very small and don't offer much of a view beyond the building across the street.

My only criticism, and it's a tiny thing, is the washroom size in the rooms are small,

Initially they booked out to a double room which was quite small with no view

The only difference between the two rooms is that room 404 has a small narrow balcony.

While the rooms are somewhat small, the hotel decor and amenities were top quality.

The room was on the small side (we had a deluxe comfort, I think) which more than adequate.

Also worth a mention were Sebastian and Davide so helpful and accomodating .The rooms were great one small negative was that they were a tad small .

Hotel was clean, comfortable and had friendly staff wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Stunning hotel right in the heart of the city - staff were so helpful .

Perfectly located, warm, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

This hotel is walking distance to all the great places, it’s clean and modern, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable!

This hotel is in great location and staff are Amazing 
I really highly recommend to anyone who comes and visits Italy.

The staff are all so welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Alessandro, the manager, took amazing care of us and made us feel so welcomed!

Even before our stay, the communication via email was excellent.

Check-in was great with the friendly and helpful Valentina.

Its superb hotel - from the moment we were greeted at Reception, to the last time we said our goodbyes.

We appreciated the superb customer service and friendliness of staff, and we absolutely loved the breakfast.

Staff cannot do enough to help you, spa is beautiful.

Paulo, the bellman took great care with our luggage upon arrival and departure, he has a lovely spirit.

The hotel is lovely, and the staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a great stay.

It was also a reasonable walk to downtown sights like Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Navona (expect to do a lot of walking in Rome), and the metro was useful to get to sights outside the downtown core like the Galleria Borghese and the Vatican (there is no metro downtown because of the archeological artifacts there).

It is fairly far from the Vatican and Borghese,

except one day where we slept late and then needed to be at the Galleria Borghese by 11:00.

If you like to bike, visiting the Borghese Gardens is a nice ride.

The hotel arranged our Borghese tickets as well as politely answering our MANY questions before arrival.

Advance tickets for the Borghese are a must so order them on line & don’t wait for the hotel because we missed it.

Taxis to further away areas like the Borghese Gallery were usually around 10E and the hotel called them quickly whenever needed.

The only time we took a taxi was when pressed for time due to early a.m. reservations at the Borghese and the Vatican.

They offered to make reservations for us to Borghese Gallery.

Also you must reserve the Borghese Gallery online.

This will get you in free to Palatine/Colosseo plus one other museum such as the Gallery Borghese, plus give you three days of free metro.

The neighborhood is about a 15 minute walk to Centro Storico (the "Center" of Rome) and/or a short subway ride to ALL the major attractions of Rome including the Piazza Navona, the Piazza del Popolo, the Spanish Steps, the Vatican, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, the Campidoglio, the Villa Borghese, the Via Veneto, etc, etc.

The location near the Colosseum is great for sightseeing,

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.

Fantastic hotel, situated close to the Colosseum.

Beautiful building which is in walking distance to the Colosseum.

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

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

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.

Close to the Collosseo and local food establishments.

Nestled in a beautiful neighborhood and walking distance from fabulous restaurants, I plan to stay at Capo D'Africa Hotel Colosseo on future trips to Rome!

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.

I had the beef cheek which was cooked to perfection.

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.

Very close to restaurants and shops and everything you could possibly need to ensure an easy lovely trip to Rome.

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.

Nice restaurant and terrace bar and hang out spot.

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

We had breakfast, lunch and dinner there and loved everything.

Some good restaurants within walking distance.

Friendly staff clean and quiet room, excellent local restaurant recommendations.

The staff were excellent and the breakfast varied and tasty.

Restaurant has both outdoor and indoor seating.

Dinner recommendations absolutely delivered and were a two block walk away.

The hotel is set on a quiet street with plenty of restaurants nearby.

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

Excellent quality beds and happy with the room quality.

The nicely stocked fridge, temperature of the room, 10 foot ceilings, lovely bathroom, and sheer beauty of the room  truly exceeded our expectations!

There is a fridge with minibar in the room.

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

Excellent hotel with great breakfast choices, comfortable rooms and friendly staff.

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

but slept pretty well over all - room was nice and quiet.

Our room was pleasantly furnished and very quiet

The rooms are lovely and the beds are very comfortable with glorious heavy cotton sheets.

Large clean rooms, great breakfast, and friendly staff.

Capo D'Africa Hotel is the perfect place to stay in Rome from the location, the beautiful rooms and balcony that looks out at the coliseum and the very helpful front desk people.

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.
