LUDUS ROOMS is a guest house in the Monti district of Rome, just 50 metres from the Colosseum and 100 metres from the Domus Aurea.
The property caters to those who want to experience Rome’s central archaeological area without giving up modern comforts such as air conditioning and soundproofed walls. The rooms, all with private bathroom, flat-screen TV and desk, differ in size, view and the presence of a terrace, balcony or patio: some overlook an internal courtyard, others the city or a well-known landmark. A larger room type, designed for three people, offers two separate beds.
Guests have access to practical amenities such as an iron, safe and independent entrance, while Colosseo and Cavour metro stations are 250 and 500 metres away respectively. Couples particularly praise the location, rated 9.7. Pets and private parties are not allowed, and a small refundable security deposit is required at check-out.

LUDUS ROOMS is located in the Monti district, one of the oldest and most characterful neighbourhoods in Rome, just steps from the Colosseum archaeological area. The area retains a cosy atmosphere, made up of alleyways, small shops and neighbourhood spots, despite being literally beneath the walls of the Flavian Amphitheatre: the Colosseum is just 50 metres away and the Domus Aurea 100 metres.
Getting around is easy thanks to Colosseo Metro Station, 250 metres away, and Cavour Metro Station, 500 metres away, both on Line B. Termini Station, the capital’s main railway hub, is about 1.4 km away, while Ciampino Airport is about 13 km away and Fiumicino Airport 19 km. On foot, the Imperial Forums and Palatine Hill can also be reached in just a few minutes.
Those staying here can dedicate the first day to the imperial ruins: Arch of Constantine (300 metres), Via Sacra and the Imperial Forums are all reachable without transport. Nearby there are also historic squares such as Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, lively with bars and restaurants especially on spring and summer evenings. With a longer walk, Trevi Fountain (1.5 km) and Piazza Venezia (1.2 km) can be reached, while lovers of Roman history will find the Domus Romane al Celio a less crowded attraction compared to the main major archaeological sites.
