Cuma Suites is a bed and breakfast in the San Giovanni district of Rome, about 350 metres from San Giovanni metro station and 1.6 km from the Colosseum. The property stands out for its very high guest ratings, particularly for cleanliness and staff friendliness, and for an Italian breakfast served every morning.
The rooms, all with private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with streaming services, range between 15 and 19 square metres and are designed for couples. Some units feature a terrace or balcony overlooking the quiet street the building faces, while the Superior versions offer additional amenities such as a minibar and a tea and coffee set.
General services include free WiFi throughout the property, a concierge service, luggage storage and a paid airport shuttle to Ciampino and Fiumicino. The location, especially popular with couples, allows guests to reach restaurants, bars and the city’s main metro stations on foot.
The five room types at Cuma Suites share a similar layout: compact spaces between 15 and 19 square metres, designed for two people, all with private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Soundproofed walls ensure a good level of quiet, an important feature in a central district like San Giovanni.
What sets the rooms apart are mainly the outdoor spaces and extra amenities: the Double Room with Terrace and the one with Balcony offer an outdoor space with a view of a quiet street, while the Superior Double Room adds a minibar and a tea and coffee set in addition to a bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer. The Double Room with Private Bathroom remains the most compact option in terms of size, ideal for those seeking the essentials without giving up basic comforts.
The most compact of the Cuma Suites rooms, with 15 square metres designed for an essential and functional stay. It has a private bathroom and a large double bed, with no outdoor space but everything needed for a couple visiting Rome.
