Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Colosseum is frequently praised for its superb location, a short walk from both Termini station and iconic landmarks like the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Guests often enjoy the convenience of the rooftop terrace, some specifically mentioning its panoramic views and the pleasure of relaxing there in the evenings. The buffet breakfast is considered a highlight, offering a wide selection including fruit and cappuccinos; however, a few guests have felt the cleanliness could be improved. With easy access to Via Cavour's restaurants, gelato shops and convenient transport links, the hotel is considered a great value for money.

Amazing stay close to attractions!

early departure rooftop bar
The staff booked a taxi for my return trip to the airport. They opened the breakfast room early since I had a very early departure. The rooftop bar was nice too!!!
The lane to the main road is steep. It felt dark and lonely at night.
