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.

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.

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!

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.

There is a fridge with minibar in the room.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Staff are amazing, rooms are comfortable and clean.

The rooms are clean and beds comfortable.

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

I even forgot something in my room and they gave it to me on a later date.

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

The Bellman helped us with our luggage to our room.

Cannot fault service, rooms and breakfast.

We arrived before check-in time and were able to leave our luggage in a room designated just for that purpose.

The rooms were decent, albeit not the largest.

The black out shutters on the window are great, making the room completely black even in the middle of the day.

although we were early, the concierges were great , enjoyed a very comfortable room, breakfasts were all we could have asked for and are looking forward to returning to this lovely hotel.

Our bed was comfortable, we had plenty of room and the bathroom was well equipped - really enjoyed a hot bath after hours of walking around Rome!

Hotel was in a central location, walking distance from the main areas of interest, good breakfast buffet, rooms spacious and air conditioned.

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

There may have been discrepency in the room sizes available

The rooms were very clean and just what was needed.

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.

Hotel Colosseum

Free breakfast

The hotel is in Monti (I think) and was walking distance to the colosseum, Trevi, Spanish Steps, Pantheon and Termini station.

Walked to major sites - Colosseum, Trevi, Spanish Steps.

Also an easy 10 min walk to the Colosseum.

Walking distance to the colosseum as well as most of Rome's major tourist attractions.

very nice hotel ,great breakfast,good location for sightseeing,very near is supermarket ,bars,restaurants and less than ten minutes walking to colosseum,and also metro is five minute walking distance, quiet for sleeping, very helpfull people at hotel. ..

It will take you about 10 minutes to walk to the Colosseum and very good restaurants close by, safe area though.

We walked to the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain which were about 10-15 minutes walking as well.

Walking distance to the Colosseum & Plaza  Maria de Maggiorrie, well worth visiting.

Great location and can easily walk to Colosseum and enjoy a nice stroll through old town.

Though it is very central (within walking distance to the Colosseum), it was very quiet.

The hotel is centrally located (a few blocks from the Colosseum) and is really lovely.

but it is in a fantastic location, 10 minutes walk from termini station and approx 15 minutes walk to the colosseum.

Easy walking distance to all main location, Colosseum, trevi fountain & spanish steps.

We chose the Raffaello because it is close to Termini station and also the archeological sites. In truth, we walked to all the locations we visited (Colosseum, Forum, Palatine Hill, Trevi fountain, Spanish Steps, Vatican, Parthenon, etc.)

The hotel is located blocks from the Termini train station and blocks from the Colosseum.

For starters, this hotel is within walking distance of so many attractions including the Colosseum, Santa Maria Majore Church and San Piedro Nicolo.

I was able to visit the Colosseum and the Vatican city and commute using just the buses 81 and 64.

The hotel is a 5-10 minute walk from the Cavour, Republica, and Termini metro stations, and less than a 15 minute walk from the Colosseum and surrounding ruins.

My ten year old son and I had a great stay at Hotel Raffaelo is ideally located within easy walking distance from the Colosseum, the Forum, Trevi Fountain and Rome's central station.

Located equidistant to the Colosseum and Rome Termini train station, the hotel is perfectly situated to explore this fabulous city.

The lift wasn’t working for the week so had to carry our luggage up to our room.

Lift doesn't work, no hot water night or in the morning.

Notes: the elevator is out of commission and, according to the front desk, will be for some time.

There were no elevators and if you have mobility issues this can be a real problem and the shower was like getting into a cubicle with no room to move.

Only downside is the lift doesn’t work so it’s a very tough climb up to 4th floor on steep stairs even for fit people😅

Only downsides were the lift not working (

The only issue we had was that the elevator was not working, so walking up and down the stairs was a bit of a workout for a couple in our 70's.

The elevator was broken and the staff was very apologetic

Lift was broken, staff were unhelpful/rude.

The next day we woke up and the lift was broken, so therefore I had 3 flights of stairs to get to reception.

The lift is way too small (3 pax can barely stand in it) and stops at intermediate levels, so you always have to climb up/down the stairs for reaching the rooms, which is quite inconvenient if you have a lot of luggage.

Negative includes: very small room, tiny elevator (1 person with luggage at most), elevator stops between floors (so, at least 9 steps to walk) and VERY small shower.

This is a boutique hotel, so there is only one small elevator and stairs are more convenient.

every time I arrive back to the hotel I have to wait 5 to 10 minutes just get on the elevator.

Only complaint would be the very small elevator that stops in between floors so one still has to either go up or down a flight of stairs to get to your room.

The rooms are clean and the bed very comfortable.

Delightful stay - the breakfast was lovely, the staff were warm and welcoming, service was outstanding, hotel is clean and the rooms are neat.

The room with comfortable beds, great a/c, cheerful staff that were always helpful.

The room was very nice with a comfortable bed.

Three of us had single rooms, and while they were small, they were very comfortable.

We were a family of 4 and stayed in a quad room which is rare in Rome (or Italy, for that matter).

Very comfortable room and we had a newly renovated bathroom which was very modern.

but staff helped getting our luggage up to our room and back down at check in.

Our room, one of the terrace suites, had a brand new bathroom that is beautifully redone.

Our room was on the 5th floor and had a small balcony which allowed us to enjoy the fresh air.

The room was big enough for 4 which is not easy, so we appreciated that.

Our bags were in our room upon our re-arrival.

My daily espresso was delicious and my hotel room was clean and very comfortable.

I absolutely loved the room and had a great night sleep!

The only downside was the size of the corner shower which was really small and barely manageable.

The bathroom is also small and everything works.

but the bathroom…..we had to step up 2 steps to a small door into the very small bathroom.

However, another family member was in a different room and their bathroom was quite small

The shower takes a little getting used to because it is small

The shower was rather small and not the easiest to move around in.

We stayed here for 8 nights so a few things were frustrating:  a tiny shower that might not accommodate a person with above average weight or height, the lack of hair conditioner and Kleenex, and a satellite TV system that does not work consistently.

The room was adequate for our needs (although the shower was a little small!).

though the small showers took some getting used to.

The only minus would have to be the very small shower!

The rooms are a bit small by North American standards

Not everything is perfect, though, the safe in the room is very small.

The elevator/“lift” to the rooms is quite small as are the rooms themselves.

The elevator is VERY small & there is only room for one person with luggage at a time.

Hotel was very outdated, the rooms were small, the bathroom shower was a nightmare, very small and dangerous  (almost fell out) with little to no water pressure.

The cleaniness
Once again, yes the room was small,

so we asked to move rooms
As its just 2 small and room was dirty.they met is with contempt.
