    So close to the Colosseum!
    Sara C.

    I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. We booked it well in advance and got a very good rate, so if you plan ahead - it can also be very affordable! We were two travelers (married couple) sharing one bed and booked a Superior Double room. Itwas the perfect size for our needs - not a ton of room for extra movement, but we didn't need all that! Just a very big comfortable bed, a closet and small fridge, a desk and side tables, and then a nice bathroom with an enclosed shower. I had read reviews that the bathrooms were too small and the toilet too close to the shower, but we did not experience anything negative in that regard. The hotel itself is very modern, clean, and literally a five minute walk to the Colosseum. This can be a great jumping off point for hop-on/hop-off tours. If you go to the hotel's rooftop pool, you can actually see the Colosseum while you swim! The staff is top notch. We arrived late and the front desk crew were there to greet us with lots of info and answer any questions we had. The late night crew was wonderful, booking our early morning departure taxi for us, and even offering to give us a wake up call to make sure we woke up that early and didn't miss our taxi/flight. As I said, it can be a bit pricey if you don't book far enough in advance, but if you plan ahead (we booked about 4 months out), you can get a great rate at a wonderful hotel in a superb location!

    Was profiled today after coming back from a long day at the museum, colosseum, and Roman forum and went to the small room before you get to the elevator, took a pic of the statue. A blonde haired woman from behind the main desk sent one of her little minions to ask subtlety ask if we belong here I said I stay here and showed him my card and walked away.

    We booked at Mercure based on great reviews and ratings on Trip Advisor, among other sites. It ended up being okay. Just Okay. Could have been worse. Could have been better. Pros: - Literally a 3 minute walk to the Colosseum! It was great to be able to see this marvel literally every day of our trip! - Front Desk staff was fantastic! All very friendly and helpful. They were great with tips on where to eat, when and what to see, and even ways of getting around town cheaper and more efficiently. - free wifi all over - 10 to 15 minute walk to underground train, which made it easy to get around to other areas of the city. - housekeeping was awesome this trip. Cons: - man, that area sucks for food options! There are restaurants in walking distance, but none that were in any way memorable. We had several bad experiences in restaurants in this area. There was only 1 store to buy snacks and whatnot, but even it was a bit of a walk from the hotel. Bad area to stay in overall. - no vending or ice machines in the hotel...at all. Seriously?? Ugh. A machine with some overpriced snacks and drinks would be great for those of us who don't feel like walking to the store in the freezing weather. - No English speaking channels except for news. Seriously, after 6 nights of CNN I was losing it. Even Mexico had 1 or 2 English speaking movie channels and ESPN. - fridge is wayyyy too small to make it even slightly useful. I got a great price on this room but you truly get what you pay for. Next time in Rome, I would book near the Pantheon or Trevi Fountain area and pay a little more for a better arrangement. This place wasn't terrible, mind you. I just feel that you can definitely do better, all things considered. 3 stars. A-Ok.

    I LOVE the location. It's so close to the Colosseo and great walkable areas. The rooftop bar is really great along with the rooftop swimming pool. It's by a nice park and I loved the area for running. Now, that rooftop pool is unheated! Which I'm sure is fabulous for the hot summers. It was quite chilly at the end of April for my triathlon practice (I also decided it was prepping me for the lake I'll be swimming in!). The doors could use some more sound proofing as I could hear all the maids in the am and really wanted to just keep sleeping. Sadly, the bar closes at midnight.

    It sounds like not everyone's stay was what they expected, but ours was exactly as anticipated. I thought for the value it was a very nice, modern, clean room and hotel. The staff we corresponded with were wonderful. We arrived in the morning, well before checkin time, and they were able to actually check us in early which was so amazing. We had an afternoon tour so it was a relief to have a room to rest a bit before we headed to the Colosseum. The proximity to the Colosseum was wonderful as well and we enjoyed walking to the Colosseum every night during our stay. When I wanted to confirm directions to the Vatican, the girl at the desk was very sweet and helpful. The staff also helped us correspond with our departing transportation to the airport, which made everything seamless. Our stay was booked through Costco Travel so it included an appetizer at the roof bar and a cocktail. The server at the bar did not speak English (which was only weird because everywhere we went in Italy during our trip, even little souvenir kiosks, the employees all seemed to know some basic words), so we got a little lost in translation when we were ordering our comp drink and app. but it got worked out. With that said my cocktail was good, and the app had smoked salmon which is a great way to win me over :) The breakfast was good enough, and I thought the staff were very hospitable. There were several great restaurants in walking distance, and the nightlife near Ludus Magnus looked very popular (we were too exhausted to check it all out, but I could tell people were raging over there). Overall, we were satisfied with our stay.

    We arrived here by train after 2 hours from Florence. The taxi driver took us at the street corner and pointed in direction to hotel. Upon arrival, the hotel desk was able to check us in and we went to our room 601. The room layout was pretty nice with living room at the entrance. To the left was the shower and sink and to the right was bedroom and then a bathroom with a sink as well. The bedroom could be closed off from the living room with pocket sliding door. The shower didn't close off from the living room. So, if the shower door was not closed well, then the water leaked from the tile floor onto the carpeted living room. The bedroom was decent size with king bed. There was desk in front which was nice too. The bathroom was standard with some counter space. The sink by the shower was tight but it did have a hairdryer which was convenient. There was a mini fridge in the living room which made it convenient to store water and some fruits. For breakfast, we were able to enjoy the buffet during our stay. Also, there was a top floor deck with pool (not recommended for swimming) as well as seating to enjoy the view of the Coliseum. The front desk lobby was very helpful to reserve our timed admission for the Borghese Gallery. Also, they were able to get a taxi quickly so we would not be late. Also, they were able to print our boarding pass tickets for Air France and Delta flights back home which saved us from waiting in line at 4AM in the morning for baggage check-in. I couldn't have anything bad to say about the service which gave us great recommendations to eat as well as visit sights around Rome. Location was perfect being within walking distance to nearest bus and subway lines. The only thing that bothered my wife was the city noise but can't do anything about it. Plus, the ventilation was an issue but we just left the windows open.

    Good points very close to the colosseum, within walking distance to lots of places to eat, beautiful view from the roof pool/bar. Bad points - rooms are very small, water pressure is nonexistent, none of the staff appears to have authority or access to resolve problems. Included breakfast is okay, maybe I was spoiled from the spread at the two previous hotels... my wife thought the eggs might have been from a mix. Our story - the first morning the shower started to back up into the bathroom then into the room. We did our best to clean it up and reported it immediately then left for the day. When we got back our room smelled horrible and the floor was still wet, but the room had been made up. I needed my laptop for work and the safe would not open. They sent to people who immediately put in a master code from memory, which made me uncomfortable, then banged on it for ten minutes and then said they could not open till the next day. Someone else came to spray something for the smell but did nothing to address the wet floor. The new smell made my wife feel ill. They said they would move us to another room the following day. The next day they opened the safe with a master key, and moved our room. As soon as we get in the new room the sink backs up with chunks of stuff. I almost just gagged writing that. Another small thing was that they gave us a drink voucher, that did not show any restrictions on it, when we first arrived and we showed it to the rooftop bartender. Then we ordered and drank and then she refused it and said the drinks we ordered were not included. Would have given them 1 star but that view is amazing!

    Colosseum

    Comfortable bed, perfect view and exceptional service, what more could you ask for! Great location that will allow you access to most tourist attractions within walking distance.

    The room, visually, was very pretty. The view was amazing. The location cannot be beat. I stayed here 12 nights. Now let's talk about the details. The view was as promised from the left side of the building, when standing in front facing the hotel. I was lucky enough to get a hotel room on that side with the Colosseo. There are several busses that come directly in front of the hotel every 5-10 minutes (during run time - not 24/7) that will take you every direction. You can also access the main tourist information office in front of the Colosseo and the metro station for the Colosseo within a 5 minute walk. Labicana is a very busy street, but of course one should expect this from being in the main tourist section of the city. Therefore I found that other review referencing a poor nights sleep due to traffic not helpful. The staff was nice but not all spoke enough English for me to recommend this hotel for anyone unfamiliar with preferably Italian or several years of Spanish or Latin... I should clarify this - while the staff will only understand in mostly Italian and some staff in English, you can understand the staff if you speak Spanish or Latin because Italian is similar. The rooms have fresh paint, new/well taken care of curtains, gorgeous fixtures such as the painting, and seem very clean. The pictures show an accurate representation. The cleaning lady comes every day . The room lacks drawers to put anything in. THE BED IS THE MOST AWFUL BED IVE EVER SLEPT ON IN MY LIFE. It is old, there is no support. I sleep on a form matress with a topper at home, so hardness only was not why I say this. I am NOT a finicky or light sleeper however if I was lucky enough to sleep through the night my back hurt unbelievably so (I am 28 w no history of back issues). Many nights I was up by 3 or 4 a.m. because I just could not sleep anymore. I attempted to sleep on the floor but since there's no padding under the carpet that was out of the question as well. The walls are paper thin. I say this because I could hear every word my neighbor room was saying. They would come in between midnight and 1am nightly. As I said I'm not a light sleeper so they only woke me up once because he was smoking inside the room and it was coming from my vent. The breakfast is not worth 16 euro, compared to the rest of the country I cannot explain how poor the food was. There are several restaurants across the street however the lack of a proper bar (the bars in Rome are where you get coffee and pastries - alcoholic bars are called "american bars" - funny to us yes) very close does not give you very many options for breakfast. I got this hotel in amazing deal of less than $400 however there sign says they rent for almost 100 euro a night which is about $128 right now. I personally could not imagine having paid that amount for the bed and not having breakfast included. I understand the place is tied extremely much to be location. However the hotel Borromeo is very close to here on Cavour (stayed in 2013 - currently $145 nightly) and if distance doesnt scare you the hotel San Francesco (stayed 2012 - currently $185 nightly) is in the Trastevere. Both have just as amazing transportation and close restaurant options with better breakfast (included in price) and better beds, less traffic in Trastevere, and better bars in Cavour. I dont mean this to advertise, but as I well versed European-Roma traveller I felt I should mention these I have experience with.

That made the location extremely convenient. The hotel sits a short walk from Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, where Pope Francis is buried. Some areas near the main train station are often described as unsafe by Italian standards. We did not experience that near the hotel. Tourists and locals were out late, and the neighborhood stayed active into the evening. Rome is compact and easy to navigate. Most major attractions felt reachable within about 20 minutes by taxi, bus, or rail. We tried to visit the Trevi Fountain at 10:00 pm to avoid crowds. That plan failed completely(see pic). It was packed. Locals eat later than in the U.S., and many parts of the city stay busy well into the night. Restaurants remain open late. A note for U.S. travelers. European hotel rooms run smaller for the price. Even using Hilton points, our room would have cost close to $700 per night USD and felt small. The hotel offers a pleasant rooftop bar and a spacious lobby with multiple seating areas. The buffet breakfast was a solid, comfortable way to start the day. It was included for us as Hilton Diamond members. I am unsure of the cash price. Overall, the location and amenities make this a smart pre-cruise choice, especially for travelers relying on rail connections.

However, it is quietly nestled in a beautiful little neighborhood. It is very quiet and quaint. Upon arrival we were greeted with the welcoming staff and escorted into the ruins beyond the lobby where we were brought a lovely tiramisu welcome treat to enjoy while taking in the ruins. The room is impressively large with a huge bathroom. We had a plush king sized bed with cozy down bedding. The thick beautiful curtains ensured that the room was perfectly dark for great sleep even if we wanted a mid day nap. There was a lovely little balcony with a view of the courtyard. With the curtains open the natural light is perfect. The bed was comfortable and we Sisto very nicely here. The bathroom is very big with a walk in shower and bidet with all toiletries needed to have a comfortable stay. I will say I was a bit bummed that the tile warmer was not functional but the hotel was very kind offering anything to make sure that we were happy. This was not a problem and we stayed in this room as warming towels us a perk but not a requirement. I would also note that the building is quite old and the bathroom had a metallic smell perhaps from the pipes of older plumbing but it was fine as long as we kept the bathroom door closed. I think the hotel was really concerned that we were upset but we absolutely were not just keep in mind this building is antique and if you are coming from the US where everything is new and not used to a potential aroma of antiquity be prepared to experience a true European city and do not complain. All details are thought of here including mini bar, clothes steamer, hair dryer, toiletries and a welcome gift. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. They are always ensuring that we were comfortable and happy. We absolutely loved our stay here. The hotel is a special place and experience. The nostalgia of standing and staying where the Romans once stood 2000 years ago was definitely a treat! The hotel has a rooftop terrace where we enjoyed breakfast in the mornings and wine in the evening. The lounge just inside of the terrace is cozy and comfortable to enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail in the evening and there's a cozy fireplace to warm up, which we took full advantage of after a long wet rainy day in the colosseum and Roman forum. We had a great stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special Roman experience. We will definitely be back!
