Just steps to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Roman Forum and the Metro station. Restaurant"s abound nearby, but the restaurant of this hotel is Uniquely Fabulous full of Art. Great breakfast and Friendly staff. Royally gorgeous room and bathroom and also spacious.

Amazing Coliseum view.
The hotel was amazing, the breakfast in the morning included a meat plate with cheese and ham, a handcrafted coffee and juice. The staff was friendly and even though we arrived late they gave us the keys and let us finish check in the morning. The best part was waking up to the coliseum in our window.

I was nervous after reading many reviews of rude staff and horrible noise. I had zero issues with either. The staff was unbelievable!!!! They made sure we had breakfast each day. The lady at the desk showed us several places to go and how to get there as well as what scams and traps to stay away from. The staff at the restaurant was magnificent as well. Our room was beautiful and looked right out at the colosseum and it was fairly quiet for the most part. I don't know if I'd want to stay anywhere else.

Impossible to park near, no restaurant!
Nice hotel but no parking and it’s not the easiest area to find a space, had to park 10mins away. Can’t imagine what it’s like in summer as I was there in November on a Wednesday night! No restaurant at all with a few places local to eat and one recommended by the restaurant but I couldn’t find it. Lovely girl on reception who would be even prettier if she smiled and showed an interest.

Don't stay here.
Place is great if you don't like sleep. The breakfast that comes with the room is also great if you like stale bread, whole tomatoes and lettuce covered in flies. Seriously look elsewhere. You've been warned.

Noisy and annoying
Room that we stayed at was located right to the upstairs bar. We could not sleep at all. There was a club under our room, absolutely loud. My husband and I are not picky about places to stay at but this place was horrible. We tried to close the door and window that faces right into the upstairs restaurant and servers would keep opening the doors and being loud. The breakfast was ok. Really nothing fancy. Only Good thing was capuccino but thats about it. So if you are willing to stay up until 3:00am after a long day at Rome then book it . But i would not recommend this place at all. My and I are 25 and 27 and it was a nightmare . You get what you pay for

Unbeatable location - Modern Hotel
The location cannot be beat for the Colloseum. The place has a modern style, and the staff are amazingly helpful and friendly. However, the area is well-traveled, day and night, so just know that it will be noisy at night.

Great place to stay when visiting Rome.
Great place just across the road from the Colosseum. Restuarant below severed great food. We planned to stay there one night and ended up staying 3. Good value room, clean and serviced each day. Good size room for two adults and two kids. Fold out bed is comfortable for kids.

Gorgeous view of the Colosseum
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Royal House. Our room had a grand view of the Colosseum and for that alone I would recommend staying here. The hotel is located about a mile or so away from the main tourist attractions (Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona); however, if you are an active individual, the walk isn't bad at all. If you are a light sleeper, you may have an issue with the location because there is a lot of traffic that passes by (especially ambulances and police cars) since the hotel is located on a busy street and the locals congregated on the corner at night by a local bar on the side street, but it did not bother my husband and I. The only complaints that we had were that our room was a bit dated, the shower flooded, and the wifi on the second floor did not work so we had a very weak signal from the first floor's wifi. The staff was very pleasant and the breakfast in the morning always left us satisfied.

The only positive about this hotel is the view of the colosseum (only 2 of the rooms) the staff is inexistent we have to ask for basic things, shower cramped and not functioning. Very noisy hotel: blasting disco music from the bar until 2.00 am. Not a pleasant experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
Great location, directly opposite the Colosseum. Comfortable, good sized room with safe for valuables. Our room was at the side with sideways view of the Colosseum, some rooms face it. Some noise from road and bar downstairs, but bedroom double-glazed, so no problems sleeping. Good continental, buffet breakfast served in Restaurant downstairs, lots of sliced meats, cheese, bread and pastries, orange juice and good coffee. Staff very friendly and Catia at reception during the day made us very welcome, spoke excellent English and gave us lots of information where to go and how to get there. Would definitely stay again.

No View at all - don't stay here!
Horrible Stay. They didn't hold the room, sent us to a back up hotel around the corner with no view of the Colliseum of course. Back up hotel turned out to be a Gay hotel. Nothing againts that, just not what we wanted. Then rooftop terrace access was denied, they said only for dinner, not even to get a drink. Bottom line, don't be fooled by the pictures, you will not have a view to the Colliseum or access to the terrace. Don't stay here. Food was bad too!

worst place we stayed in Italy and ironically the
We booked in and was suddenly told the city tax went up to €3.50 and apparently the site we booked through supposedly told us-no they didn't. It went down hill from there. The downstairs restaurant is modern and clearly no money has been spent in years upstairs. The beds are rock hard and uncomfortable with the world's smallest pillows-you are better off sleeping on a park bench. The room wallpaper is peeling off everywhere and the toilet struggled to flush and the reservoir wouldn't stop running. It therefore dripped all night. The advertising said free wifi but we probably connected for 10 minutes in total over 3 days as we couldn't connect due to poor signal im our room. The downstairs was a club till 3am im the morning which lead you to wish it was morning so you could get away.The pasta portions are small and the prices are high in the restaurant. Only plus is that it is across from the colloseum. After a long day out and about in the city-all you want to do is rest and sadly you won't get any rest here...stay far away

Worst Service
The Hotel room was really nice, although it was not the room that I booked. It was difficult to find the place to check in as it is down the block from where the rooms are located and in the back of a restaurant. The front desk staff were very disorganized and seemed to have no clue what was going on. I paid the extra money for 2 double beds and got a room that was just a queen bed. They did not even see what I booked, they just put us in a queen room because there were only 2 of us. This was very uncomfortable for us as I was traveling with my friend and her boyfriend was not on the trip with us. The restaurant was nice but a bit over priced and had some of the worst service ever.

Great view but ..
The hotel location is spectacular. The colosseum is across the street, which is great. Moreover, the staff are friendly. In general if you are practical person that you will spend most of the day outdoors, this is the place for you. The flaws are not many; the A/C was not working properly, the room is understated with ants, and visits of cockroaches. I think it is a good hotel, but they should reconsider pricing to reflect what is actually there.

A very comfortable room with more space than expected in a fantastic location. The breakfast was really good too. The hotel is above the Royal restaurant (which is where you check-in, by the way), but it was not noisy at all. An early morning walk before breakfast at 8am makes this hotel hard to beat.

Good location
Hotel location is excellent as it is right across the Colosseum. We arrived late, and were a bit confused to find the right people to check in our room. Our room is OK, lack of shampoo and soaps. The bathroom door can't be locked. The downstairs is a restaurant. People are very nice, they let us order a pizza at midnight since we arrived quite late. I'd recommend if you look for something close to the collosseum. Other than that, the room is just OK.

Great location
The hotel is located opposite the Colosseum and we had an amazing view from our room. There are many bars and restaurants in the area - right below our room actually - but the windows were sound proof and we we were not disturbed by the noise from the street. The room was clean, spacious and cozy. "Breakfast" (some coffee, croissant and dry bread) - which was included- could have been better, but I guess that's breakfast in Italy.

this hotel was in the most unbelievable position, the staff and food were excellent, the sofa bed wasnt great but we were only there 3 nights, the main bed was fine. We were able to catch the tour bus or the metro within 2 minutes of the hotel - but having the Roman colluseum outside your window is breathtaking

Tutto bene sia all'arrivo che a pranzo l'accoglienza è stata ottima. Unico neo la sera a cena quando cambiato il personale siamo stati trattati come persone esterne e non ci è stato neppure praticato lo sconto del 10% come previsto. Credo comunque che sarebbe corretto permettere a chi ha anche il pernottamento la possibilità di cenare in terrazza anche se mangia solo una pizza. Memori di ciò gli altri pasti abbiamo preferito consumarli altrove.
