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.

The rooms are clean and beds comfortable.

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

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

The rooms were very clean and just what was needed.

but clean rooms and roof top bar is priceless.

It was very clean as was the room  and immaculate  white cotton bedding.

The room was clean with comfortable beds and aircon which worked well when we experienced 38 degrees every day for a week.

Breakfast was of a good quality
Rooftop bar was amazing
Room was clean and well presented 
Only downfall only 1 plug socket in the room that took a travel adaptor and you couldn't charge devices when you were away from the room

The rooms were very clean and AC cooled the room down quickly (this was very important since we were there when they were having record heat) .

The rooms were clean, staff was very attentive.

10 min stroll from train station..5 mins from Colosseum n ruins..friendly and attentive 
 staff..Great buffet breakfast..clean room..Good air con..brilliant roof top terrace for great sunset views across the city..would happily return 10/10

The hotel room was clean and the staff were great

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.

Very, very nice hotel with nice and clean rooms.

Everything was clean, tidy and the room spacious.

Room was clean and enough space for our needs.

Nice hotel, decent sized clean rooms, helpful staff in reception clean small well cleaned bathrooms and a wonderful buffet breakfast served every morning with variety of food and drink options along with washer dryer facilities inside hotel, vending machines for water , sodas and other items made our stay very pleasing and relaxing right at the heart of Rome!

The hotel is clean and modern, the housekeeping staff is constantly at work cleaning the common areas, and the daily cleaning and changing of sheets and towels kept our room spotless.

The hotel rooms are clean, modern & functional.

Rooms were very clean, roomy including the bathroom & more Importantly, very, very comfortable bed.

Breakfast was lovely, rooms were very clean and modern for a city hotel.

Professional staffs, clean room, excellent location.

The room was very clean and had a lovely view.

The room was clean and comfortable and a nice retreat at the end of a busy day.

The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable.

The rooms were clean and came with everything you would expect.

Our room was clean, quiet and we felt very safe.

Room was clean, great job to the HSK department, all amenities well equipped in the room.

They provide us with great service, wonderful, big and very clean room, snacks and new water bottles every day, a rich breakfast and great gym, in the center of Rome, for us the location was perfect.

The only negative was that this shower was really small.

The shower is tiny; it was impossible not to bang my elbows on the sides while showering.

The mattress is on the firm side and the shower is small.

Minor points taken away for the small shower and breakfast not being included.

The bathroom was small because I booked a small room ,

The room and bathroom were on the small side

The shower was small, so if you are a big / tall person, it might not be that comfortable.

Cons: small showers, can be bit noisy if you are facing the street.

The rooms are small which is common for lots of European hotels, so you may be tripping over your luggage if you have a lot.

Though our room is small, the design provides for many areas for storage--we were able to store our large suitcases under the bed.

While the rooms are small, they have all the amenities and hopefully you're not spending your vacation in the room.

The fitness centre is small and very little room for stretching.

Our room for 3 people was BIG - a real find in a city of small rooms - and had enough storage to accomodate 3 decent suitcases and accessories.

Along the corridor from our room there was a small room with two self service machines; one had sandwiches, crisps, chocolates, pop and beer and the other had razors, tissues, toothpaste etc for those late night munchies/emergencies.

Fitness Center with Gym / Workout Room

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.

Clean rooms, friendly staff and convenient location.

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

Housekeeping Team:

Salmon, Safur and Mehedi: Thank you so much for the immaculate rooms - very satisfactory room indeed.

I enjoyed my lovely room as it was clean, comfortable & had a great view.

The houskeeping staff did a wonderful job of keeping keeping our room clean and so well appointed.

Very nice, clean rooms with great air conditioning.

The rooms are immaculate with exceptionally comfortable beds.

The hotel is fabulous,  rooms are neat and breakfast is fabulous.

even though it's in a good location the other hotels nearby clean your room daily.

The room was clean and beautiful with a big and cozy bed.

The staff are very helpful, the rooms are very clean and the breakfast is excellent.

Spacious, clean rooms with comfortable beds.

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.

We got taken out of reception up the street through a dark old door and up a lift to our room… no nice reception to walk through in the nights or morning just a random lift and door out onto the street!

however if we required anything from the main hotel you need to take the key card to get back into the building and in doing so the rest of you sit in the dark as this operates the lighting in the room.

The rooms there is no natural light which was a little downside, a little dark as the window just faces a wall.

The second room we moved into had a good few lights broken which was annoying as the rooms are quite dark.

but it was a lot smaller than I expected and very dark as we were on the first floor and just outside the window was a metal staircase which blocked most of the light coming into the room.

but this did not work and there was no other light the other side either so it was very dark especially when trying to make tea.

It was slightly dark near the door to the room and we couldn't make the light stay on for longer than a minute so it put the full length mirror on the wall out of action as you could barely see your reflection.

It was very dark in the room and as the clothes in the wardrobes covered the wardrobe lights I found myself having to walk clothes to the window to see them.

however the lighting in the our room (202) was simply too dark.

The negatives:  The rooms are dark and the lighting is inadequate and everything is designed for form, not function (illuminated table??).

The hallways are very dark, and a bit tricky.

While the rooms are dark without too much natural light and no view, we found the room lighting to be good.

It was very dark with a tiny window overlooking a dark service area.

there just isnt enought of it. The room is dark itself (yes i know its a "mood" hotel!)

Felt like it was dark within the room and wasn't able to see how the weather was due to that.

The room was very dark, so much so that it was difficult to read the air con control that was by the door.

however has very poor lighting so it was difficult to see whilst rummaging through luggage etc.

We stayed in room 201 so not sure if the other rooms have a view or atleast some light.

but then when you get there you realize half their business model and vibe is keeping all of the lights half-dimmed so you don't notice the scuff marks and peeling wallpaper.

Only thing I would say they could go to improve is to add some fairy lights and a few more seats to their roof terrace.

Our rooms were very small and poorly lit, with no natural light coming in through the windows that were just a view of a brick wall!

Only issues was the lack of lighting in the ante room, made it hard to find things in our bags.

Half Room lights not working - advised 5 times and not fixed
Air con not working 
Slippers.

Thought ours was a little lacking in lighting

The lighting under the sink was flickering on and off when turned on, the tub drained slowly and poorly, the water temperature would go from cold to scalding hot, the room safe kept giving me error messages

My wife was very disappointed with the lighting above the bathroom mirror, finding it almost impossible for applying make up.

but could have done without the blinding table that was to double as a lamp.

Cons (not many and absolutely nothing major):
-	Our room was a really weird shape and had no natural light as the window was an internal one.

This perhaps was due to the fact that the room had very little natural light.

although it had one light situated behind the rack where you put your clothes this was inadequate.

Room itself was clean, stylish, well equipped and comfortable.

The rooms are clean, have good air con, decent shower/bathroom - ideal for a couple.

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Rooms are clean, beds are comfy and staff are friendly.

The room was clean, functional and serviced daily.

Room was very clean, a good size and had a lovely bathroom with shower.

Rooms were kept well cleaned as was whole of hotel.

It was so great, receptionist and staff were very kind, rooms are very clean and decorated modern 
Breakfast was nice and delicious , the hotel includes bar which is so nice, and location was great it is 10 minutes dar away from fountain of trevi and 13 minutes far away from the colosseum

Room was clean and a nice size for the 3 of us for the weekend.

Although the room was clean there was a few stains on the curtains and a stain in the bath tub, this didn’t affect us in any way it just affects the cosmetic look of the room.

Lovely hotel
Good location
Very helpful and friendly staff
Room very clean
Breakfast good
Would recommend
Enjoyed meal at house of meat nearby, we are vegetarian and have a good selection of food.

The staff at breakfast,  in the restaurant and the bar are great, really friendly also the man who showed us to the annex when we arrived as are the cleaning staff who left our room spotless.

The room was very clean and all the staff where extremely helpful and friendly, Julio on the bar was very helpful and attentive.

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.
