The property is aimed at those looking for a practical base to explore the Capital without giving up good value for money: the rooms, ranging from Single to Quadruple, are all air-conditioned and equipped with TV, radio, private bathroom and free WiFi, with some options offering a city view or a bathtub with hydromassage.
Guests have access to a lounge with bar and TV, a reading room and a 24-hour reception, as well as a continental buffet breakfast included in the stay. The location, especially appreciated by couples, allows guests to reach some of Rome’s main historic attractions, from the Colosseum to the Domus Aurea, on foot or with just a few minutes on the metro.
Hotel Tuscolana offers six room types, from the 9 sqm Single designed for solo travellers to the 25 sqm Quadruple suited to families or small groups. All options share air conditioning, a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, minibar and free WiFi, elements that guarantee a consistent standard regardless of the size chosen.
What mainly sets the rooms apart is the view, which in some units opens onto the city while in others overlooks the inner courtyard, along with certain details such as the bathtub with hydromassage available in the Triple Room or the bidet and full toiletry set in the Standard Double/Twin Room. Bed configurations range from a single bed to combinations with a large double bed, making the range suited both to couples and to those looking for a more spacious solution for group stays.
