Glam Sm Maggiore Guest House is a guest house in the Monti district of Rome, a hundred metres from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, in one of the most characteristic areas of the historic centre.
The property is designed for those who want to explore the city’s major monuments on foot: the Colosseum is less than a kilometre away, the Domus Aurea is 700 metres away, and Termini station is just 500 metres away, a significant advantage for anyone arriving by train or needing to catch a flight. The rooms, all with a private bathroom either en suite or just outside, feature a kitchenette or kitchen, a flat-screen TV and free WiFi throughout. Several accommodations offer views over the city or nearby points of interest.
Guests have access to a shared lounge to relax after a day exploring the centre. The location is particularly appreciated by couples, who rated it 9.5, while the Monti district, with its alleys, bars and small restaurants, offers a more authentic alternative to the more touristy areas near the major archaeological sites.
The rooms at Glam Sm Maggiore Guest House share a few basic features designed for practical stays in the heart of Rome: private bathroom, flat-screen TV, free WiFi and a kitchenette or small kitchen that lets you prepare meals without always having to go out. The accommodations differ in size and bed layout, with options ranging from a room with single beds that can be combined into a double, to a more compact one with a French double bed and the bathroom located just outside the room.
Both room types offer views over the city or nearby points of interest, a detail that makes the stay more pleasant given the location in the Monti district. The main difference between the two concerns the available space and the position of the bathroom: a choice worth considering based on your comfort and privacy priorities during your stay in the capital.
At 18 m², this is the largest room in the property and offers the flexibility of two single beds or, alternatively, an extra-large double bed. It features a private kitchen, en-suite bathroom, city view and a view of a nearby point of interest, as well as a flat-screen TV.
More compact than the Double/Twin Room, at 14 m² with a French double bed. This room’s distinctive feature is its private bathroom located just outside the room, while the kitchen, flat-screen TV and free WiFi are still included.
Glam Sm Maggiore Guest House offers free WiFi available throughout the property and a shared lounge where guests can relax after sightseeing in the centre. Daily housekeeping and 24-hour security, with CCTV in common areas and key access, ensure a well-cared-for stay in every detail.

The rooms are equipped with a kitchen or kitchenette, hob, microwave, refrigerator, electric kettle and kitchen utensils, a practical solution for anyone wishing to prepare meals independently during their stay in Rome. Guests can also enjoy fruit, wine or champagne, along with a tea and coffee service in the room. Private bathrooms with shower or bathtub, complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer complete the amenities of each accommodation, designed for those who want to experience Rome in comfort.
Glam Sm Maggiore Guest House is located in the Monti district, one of the most authentic neighbourhoods in Rome’s historic centre, a hundred metres from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. The area retains narrow alleys, artisan workshops and small venues that set it apart from the more touristy areas near the major archaeological sites, while still being just a short walk from them.
Termini station is just 500 metres away, as is the Termini Laziali station, while the Vittorio Emanuele and Cavour metro stations are about 450-500 metres away, making it easy to reach any part of the city. The Colosseum can be reached in a few minutes on foot, at 850 metres, while the Domus Aurea is 700 metres away. Ciampino Airport is about 12 km away, and Fiumicino Airport is 20 km away.
