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

Operatore Olistico, Obelisco del Pincio, The Naughty Monkey, Enoteca Buccone, La Casa degli Enigmi, L’American Academy in Rome, Teatro delle Muse, Il Ratto Di Proserpina, CrossFit Trastevere, Villa Borghese Gardens, Il Muletto di Villa Borghese, Arco Dei Banchi, Chiesa di San Giuseppe alla Lungara, Corte Suprema Di Cassazione, Orto Botanico Conservativo “C.

However, once you've conquered the ruins, the Capo is a fair distance away from other attractions, such as the Vatican and the Pantheon, Villa Borghese, etc.

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.

Situated 5 mins walk from the Coliseum and the metro this is a cracking hotel.

Pretty much walk in a straight line for the majority of the journey.

Just a few minutes' walk from the famous Colosseum and the ancient Roman Forum, this hotel is a perfect destination for some of the best of what this incredible city has to offer.

This property is just a few minutes walk from the Colloseum and in a residential area so reasonably quiet at night.

We walked to all the major sight seeing areas of Rome from the hotel, no need for the metro.

The location is very near to the Colloseum with so many wonderful restaurants, bakeries and bistros nearby. We went for a walk at night and stumbled upon the colloseum light up at night ( amazing!)

but it is a long walk from there to Travestre, Navona or Trevi neighbours.

On our first day we were able to walk to the pantheon, the Trevi fountain and Spanish steps (using google maps!).

Located on Via Capo d'Africa, the hotel is literally a 5 minute walk from the hotel and thus, it's a great base for exploring Rome and its delights on foot.

Attractions within easy walking distance, Colliseum 1 way, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and The Spanish Steps the other.

This hotel was located a short walk from the Colosseum and other attractions.

The hotel is within easy walking distance to most of the main attractions.

Lovely hotel located within walking distance to all the tourist attractions in Rome.

Very close to many attractions and restaurants.

The location is excellent for all landmarks and attractions, which we walked to all.

Just come back from the Rome times hotel , well situated hotel for all the tourist attractions , very clean and pleasant staff and nice breakfast .

Location was perfect, we walked to every attraction including the Vatican which was a 45 minute walk.

Could not have asked for a better location with the main attractions within a 15 min walk (only used the train once to get to the Vatican!).

Lovely modern hotel in a great location, most of the main tourist attractions close by.

The hotel location is conveniently located within walking distance to the Colosseum and other major attractions.

The hotel location is central and handy for most attractions (and tour bus pick up points) and there was a party atmosphere with live music on the Saturday night - we were entertained by Ferdinando Vega, a very talented singer with a great repertoire that I enjoyed immensely.

The Rome Times Hotel is an easy walk to the major attractions, is clean, quiet, comes with complimentary beverages and made our stay in Rome very memorable.

The location is also central to many of Rome's attractions and shops.

The location is excellent It is within easy walking distance of all the major attractions (bit of a hike to The Vatican

Within 10 - 15 mins walk you see some of the main attractions Rome has to offer.

Extremely handy location, walking distance from many main attractions and near main shopping streets.

It I'd also wait him walking distance of many attractions.

Great location to many tourist attractions.

Walking distance to the main attractions of Rome and  the main train station.

On to the room -the bathroom door is made of frosted glass -what’s that about?

Really close to everything you want tl see when in Rome and they even provide a mobile phone in your room to use maps and calls etc.. 
Only down side is its not very soundproof and in the night could hear noises of toilets flushing and doors opening from other rooms.

A little bigger bathroom and a door closing of the bathroom would have been better.

The ONLY "negative" to our hotel room is that there's no door for the bathroom (except the toilet).

Only issue we had was the fact our room was incredibly hot and there was a smell which we overcome by ensuring the door to the bathroom was closed and the toilet seat down.

but had a feature that we didn't expect - no door to the bathroom.

Of note, there is no door to the bathroom area or a shower door/ curtain, just a door for the toilet.

The only negative was that there was no door to the bathroom so the shower was visible (the toilet area was separate and did have a door).

However our bathroom door was a sliding door luckily we are a couple and didnt mind this.

The rooms are modern, my only thing is that I'd prefer an actual door into the toilet shower area rather than a sliding door just being fussy.

You actually hear the person next door showering.

Some of the reviews mention no bathroom door,

but was kinda odd for us used to close door showers.

however - the bathroom door lock was broken although this didn't matter too much to us.

the door to the bathroom and shower is kind of see through

But we hung a towel over the shower door for privacy.

Some people may not like the fact that there is no door to the bathroom (although there is to the toilet)

There was just a little mold by the corner of the shower door,

The bathroom door was broken, not replaced and there was a cheap paravan to use instead.. Minibar was free perhaps because of this.

Very handy for the Colosseum which is very close by and the Trevi fountain.

The hotel itself is in a perfect location, 10 minutes each way to both the Trevi fountain and Colosseum and just 30 minutes in a taxi from Ciampino airport.

15 minutes walk from the colosseum, 15 minutes from the Trevi fountain,

10 minute walk to Trevi Fountain, and 13 minute walk to the Colosseum.

Clean hotel room, with a good location, close to the colosseum and Spanish steps and Trevi fountain.

The hotel is in a really good central location with the colosseum and Trevi fountain only a short walk away.

Less than 15 minutes walk to the Colosseum.

Location seemed closest to trevi fountain about a 10 minute walk with the colosseum not too far away in the opposite direction again about a 10 min walk.

Walkable to Ancient Rome (ie Colosseum), Trevi Fountain, Termini Station, and other sites.

You can walk to the Colosseum, Pantheon, Forums, Trevi Fountain, etc all within 10-15 minutes.

It is a great location as others have said near colosseum , Trevi fountain and Spanish steps a longer walk to Vatican all in all we’ve had a lovely stay and would recommend .

The Rome Times was a lovely hotel located within walking distance of many Rome sites like the Colosseum.

Literally down the road from the Venetian palace, Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, Colosseum, Roman Forum - all no more than a 20 minute walk away.

Within walking distance to the colosseum, the Trevi Fountain & the Spanish Steps.

We walked to the pantheon,  the Vatican,  Spanish steps, piazza navonna,  colosseum.

We thoroughly enjoyed how close it was to the train, fountain, colosseum, and restaurants.

It's not far from the Termini Station, and a good launching place for walking to the Trevi Fountain, the Corner of the Four Fountains, Sta Maria di la Vittoria (for its Bernini), Piazza Navona, the Colosseum, and the Pantheon.

Our room was in the second building a few doors down from the main building, and I’ve seen a few reviews complaining about this

however the doors are very loud and we could always here people coming back and talking outside the door at night, it was like they were in the room with you.

We had to pay extra to get a room with some privacy as the original room had a glass shower with no door and everyone could see it someone was taking a shower.

Only complaint was restaurant area is cold depending on where you are seated, main entrance for hotel has sliding doors so in morning when reception is busy doors are automatically open, too cold in winter !

The sink is in the room with the shower and toilet in a separate area only enclosed by a thin glass door.

This hotel was strangely set up - the front desk/lobby is not connected with many of their rooms which are only accessible from an alternative door.

When we enter our room I notice there’s a door leading to some kind of stairs, which I found quite odd in term of safety, so I decided to carry my valuables all times, 2 nights later I notice the door was left open, none of us ever open the door, so we immediately ask the front desk, they said they will investigate it

We were somewhat surprised when being led to our room to discover that we had to leave the building and and walk to a different building a few doors along.

Also, could hear when the guest in the room next door used the bathroom in the night, could hear them flushing the toilet and when they used the shower in the morning.

Also door is sliding and has no lock, so it’s not really private at all.

We then experience the worst domestic argument from the people next door and this went on till early hours in the morning as I had to go to reception and complain.

There is a toilet in the bathroom and this does have a door!

The room itself had a few issues first floor in the annexe , as soon as you opened the door on hot day you could smell sewers and drains wasn’t pleasant .

The room door is very heavy and walls a bit thin!

Soundproofing was a bit of an issue as we could hear the guests next door sneezing, showering and going to the loo.

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.

We couldn’t have the window open at night because the main road was far too noisy so had very little sleep over the 4 nights.

This was actually a blessing as having the window open cooled the room much better!

We left the window open one night to let some air in

But still made the room stuffy, we would have the window open

The only problem we had was that the room was very warm and when we tried to turn on the air, it did not work, so we had the window open every night,

Only gripe is that they don't have air conditioning in the room, a rule set by the Rome government apparently and you can't exactly sleep with the window open because of the noise!

The hotel is on a main road so if you do want the window open it's very noisy.

You can't sleep with the windows open from all
The street noise.

You wouldn't have slept with the window open

but at night it was so noisy we couldn't open the window.

We couldn't keep the window open because  of the noise from outside.

This room had windows on two sides so got a bit of light and was able to open the windows a bit to let some air in.

You could either have the window open with the sounds of the city or closed with the aircon on.

The only downside to this hotel was that the rooms were quite hot so we had to have the window open meaning it was very noisy at night.

The room was a little on the warm side which would have caused issues had we been forced to sleep with the window open

Upon asking for it to be lowered, the employee told us it was as low as it could go and advised us to open up our window (to a very noisy street).

Yet they repeatedly said its impossible someone smoking in our room and insisted the smell must have come from outside the window (note: none of the windows were open when we returned) and didnt give us any proper solutions.

The heating/cooling system in the room could be improved as it was very warm in the room and we had difficulty getting the room cool, resulting in having to leave the window open all night.

I thought the food was quite poor though.

The breakfast was poor, horrible and not tasty, it was not organised well and products were all cheap and watery; there was nothing good at the breakfast.

Why would I want to stay with them now after this poor effort.

The customer service levels of the staff (including the management) was very poor - service slow and staff generally arrogant and rude.

The poor reviews made me question my decision

When I come up to the room, the room it self is very small and dusty, the curtain is in very poor conditions, the bathroom is rather disgusting, there’s mould near the shower, it’s definitely not worth 200+ euro per night.

The breakfast was very poor, everything was cold and not replaced quickly enough for the flow of people.

We stayed in the Annex and were a bit worried due to some poor reviews.

Our only minor complaints:- the limited bar menu for evening food; hit and miss replenishment of tea/coffee/milk/ shampoo etc in the room; poor gym facilities.

but have poor lighting and little place to put your stuff in the room.

The wifi signal was very poor and consistently turned itself off when it decided to.

but regardless his skills were very poor.

We only had the breakfast on the first day as it was of a very poor standard.

The only big downside was the poor Internet connection.

The speaker system and screens are poor so is the Signage..

Only negative, also mentioned by others is poor lighting in the entry and closet of the room.

Another sneaky way of getting even more money out of the poor old tourist!

It's very difficult to make a choice on a Rome hotel as there were so many bad reviews for old poor quality hotels so we were still nervous on booking.
