The Relais Forus Inn is a bed and breakfast located on the first floor of a historic building in the Monti district of Rome, a short walk from Cavour metro station and about 650 metres from the Colosseum. The rooms, all soundproofed and non-smoking, feature parquet floors, 32-inch LCD TVs and free WiFi; some retain ceilings with exposed wooden beams, while others offer a hydromassage bathtub for a more relaxing touch.
The property offers three room types, from the Standard to the Deluxe with hydromassage bathtub up to the Triple designed for small groups or families, all with private bathroom, air conditioning and minibar. Continental breakfast is served directly in the room every morning, while multilingual staff are available to organise tours, excursions and transfers.
The location in the heart of Rione Monti allows guests to reach wine bars, restaurants and the city’s main archaeological sites on foot, making the Relais Forus Inn a practical base for those visiting Rome as a couple or in a group, helped by the excellent score received for location and bed comfort.
The rooms at the Relais Forus Inn are divided into three types designed for different needs, from couples visiting for a weekend to small groups needing more beds. All accommodations share common elements such as private bathroom, air conditioning, soundproofing, minibar and flat-screen TV, ensuring a good level of rest even when overlooking a central street such as Via Cavour.
What sets the room types apart are mainly the bathroom details and the size: the Standard Room and the Deluxe both measure 15 m² but the latter stands out for its hydromassage bathtub and more complete amenity kit, while the Triple Room, larger at 20 m², is designed to accommodate up to three people with a shower instead of the bathtub. In all rooms, guests can request their preferred bed type at the time of booking.
This 15 m² room offers the flexibility to choose between a double bed or two single beds at the time of booking. Equipped with a 32-inch LCD TV and free WiFi, it overlooks Via Cavour or a quieter internal view, offering a more essential option compared to the Deluxe.
Identical in size to the Standard but with a higher level of comfort, this Deluxe room is the only one in the property equipped with a hydromassage bathtub, in addition to a bathroom with traditional tub, hairdryer and slippers. Rounding out the offering are a tea and coffee set and satellite channels on the flat-screen TV.
The largest room in the property, at 20 m² and accommodating up to three people, ideal for small groups or families. Unlike the other two room types, it has a shower instead of a bathtub, plus an amenity kit, minibar and tea and coffee set.
The Relais Forus Inn offers a range of services designed to make a stay in the heart of Rome easier. Staff are available for concierge service, luggage storage, tour desk and currency exchange, as well as a shuttle service and airport shuttle on request. Guests travelling with pets will also find dedicated bowls.
Every room has a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries, hairdryer, bathrobe and slippers, as well as air conditioning, heating and parquet or wooden floors. Breakfast can be served directly in the room, while minibar and tea and coffee sets are available in all room types.
The property is entirely non-smoking and also offers daily housekeeping, ironing service, laundry and dry cleaning, as well as a safe, key card access and a lift to reach the upper floors.
The Relais Forus Inn is located in Rione Monti, one of the most authentic and lively districts of Rome’s historic centre, known for its cobbled lanes, independent boutiques and nightlife concentrated around Via del Boschetto and Via Panisperna. The area retains a local character despite being a short walk from the great imperial ruins, a contrast that makes staying here different from staying in more touristy areas of the city.
The property is just 150 metres from Cavour metro station, on Line B, which allows guests to reach both Termini Station (800 metres) and the Colosseum, just 650 metres on foot, in a few stops. The Imperial Forums and the Domus Aurea are also within a kilometre, while Ciampino Airport is about 12 km away and Fiumicino Airport about 20 km away, both reachable via rail connections from Termini.
Walking from the district, Piazza Venezia (1 km) and the Trevi Fountain (1.1 km) can be reached in a few minutes, classic stops on any visit to Rome, while the National Roman Museum and Palazzo delle Esposizioni offer cultural alternatives less than 700 metres away. In the evening, the wine bars and restaurants of Monti – such as those along Via Cavour a short walk from the property – keep the district lively until late, making it a convenient base both for days dedicated to archaeology and for Roman evenings.
