Merulana 139 Suites is a guest house in the Rione Monti district of Rome, 600 metres from San Giovanni Metro Station and just over a kilometre from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. The property is designed for visitors to the capital who want to stay within walking distance of the main public transport hubs and the major monuments of the historic centre.
The rooms, all with private bathroom, shower and toiletries, are equipped with a flat-screen TV, air conditioning and a desk; some room types also offer a balcony with views over the city or the inner courtyard. The range goes from the more compact Double Room to the larger Deluxe Triple Room, also suitable for small groups or families.
Available services include free WiFi, an airport shuttle for a fee, and daily housekeeping. The area around the property is among the liveliest in Rome, with restaurants, bars and cafés just steps away, and allows guests to reach places such as the Colosseum, Porta Maggiore and the Domus Aurea on foot or by metro in just a few minutes.
The three room types offered by Merulana 139 Suites share some basic amenities: private bathroom with shower, flat-screen TV with cable channels, air conditioning and toiletries. They are designed for different types of stays, from couples visiting for a few days to small groups needing more space, while maintaining an essential and functional style throughout.
What sets the three options apart are mainly the size and the view: the Double Room is the smallest and simplest, the Deluxe Room adds a balcony overlooking the garden, while the Deluxe Triple Room is the largest in the property, with a panoramic balcony over the city and space for an extra bed, making it the best choice for those travelling as three or looking for more spacious rooms.
The largest of the available rooms, with 20 sqm of space and a balcony opening onto a city view. Air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen TV with cable channels, it accommodates up to three people thanks to the combination of a single bed and a large double bed, making it the most suitable option for small groups or families with a child.
Designed for couples, this 18 sqm room stands out for its balcony with a view of the garden and inner courtyard, a more intimate outlook compared to the Deluxe Triple Room. Air-conditioned and with a cable flat-screen TV, it offers a quiet environment thanks to soundproofing.
The most compact room type in the property, with 13 sqm and a view of the inner courtyard, without a balcony. Ideal for an essential stay as a couple, it still features a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with cable channels.
