Hotel Capo d'Africa—Colosseo, Rome

4.5 (11 reviews) · Comfort
Contemporary hotel with old-world flourishes, Colosseum views, and two terraces overlooking Rome's monuments

Overview

Wake up to a clear view of the Colosseum in the Hotel Capo d'Africa—Colosseo, located just a few blocks from Rome's most famous attraction. Walk to the Colosseum in under 10 minutes or explore any of the city's ancient Roman sites in the vicinity, like the Forum, Arch of Titus, and Palatine Stadium, in the same amount of time. The Circus Maximus is just 20 minutes away, and once you've had your fill of history, take a break at one of the many restaurants and cafés in the historic neighborhood surrounding the hotel.

Rooms are mostly contemporary, with some old-school flourishes like burgundy red leather armchairs and green marble accents in the bathrooms. All bathrooms come with removable showerheads that you can attach to the wall, and Suites and Premier options have bathtubs as well. Triples and interconnecting options are great for families, while those exploring Italy by car may prefer the Classic that comes with parking. For something extra special, book a Suite, the only room with a terrace, which may offer a Colosseum view. 

The hotel stands just next to the Santi Quattro Coronati, built in the 5th century BCE, which is visible from the terrace, one of two in the hotel. Have a drink or bite in this cozy and verdant spot, where you can soak in the sight of one of the city's most significant medieval attractions. The smaller terrace overlooks the Colosseum, which you can gaze at while having coffee and breakfast in the morning.

We stayed one night in this hotel after flying into Rome. It was very nice and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They assisted in getting us dinner reservations and it happened to be the most amazing meal we had on our entire 9 day trip! Highly recommend! Read more

The hotel was generally good, but there was a slight hiccup with the front desk staff. Being on a knee scooter due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, I had some specific needs, which weren't always handled in the most accommodating way. Read more

Beautiful hotel in a prime location in Rome. The staff was incredibly helpful and we had a great stay. We chose not to get the hotel breakfast, but there was a fantastic 'bar'/bakery just down the street and around the corner where we were able to get fresh pastries. Being able to walk two blocks to the Colisseum was incredibly convenient! Read more

This hotel was interesting, with fully staffed lobby bar and roof top bar, but no patrons. The one night we went to the roof top it had a night club feel, but we were the only ones there. The breakfast was excellent. Read more
