Maison Merulana Colosseo

Maison Merulana Colosseo is a non-smoking guest house in the Monti district of Rome, about 950 meters from the Colosseum and 500 meters from San Giovanni Metro Station. The property is aimed at those who want to visit the historic center comfortably on foot or by metro, without giving up a good value for money.

The rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a desk, electric kettle, minibar and safe, as well as a flat-screen TV and private bathroom with bidet, shower and toiletries. Sheets and towels are always included, a detail appreciated by those staying even just a few nights.

The area is rich in archaeological and historic sites: from the Domus Aurea to Palatine Hill, passing through Porta Maggiore and the Imperial Forums, all reachable on foot or with a few minutes by metro. Couples particularly praise the location, rated 9.4, while the lack of private parking and breakfast makes this option more suited to those who travel light and enjoy getting around by public transport or on foot in the heart of the capital.
