Roman Holiday Colosseo is a guest house in the Rione Monti district of Rome, about 500 metres from the Colosseum and 400 metres from the Domus Aurea, in one of the most characteristic areas of the historic centre.
The property offers air-conditioned rooms with a kitchenette, coffee machine, refrigerator, microwave and safe, all with a private bathroom with bidet, and some with views of the garden or the inner courtyard. Several units have a patio or terrace, ideal for those seeking private outdoor space even right in the city centre. WiFi is free throughout the property, as is access to a common lounge with a TV area.
Italian breakfast is served at a partner café one minute’s walk away, a distinctive arrangement that lets guests start the day the way a Roman would. The location, rated very positively especially by couples, allows guests to walk to the Arch of Constantine, Palatine Hill and Imperial Forums, as well as to Vittorio Emanuele and Manzoni metro stations, both a few hundred metres away. A convenient base for visiting Rome without giving up the calm of a residential neighbourhood.
The four room types at Roman Holiday Colosseo share a similar layout: air conditioning, a kitchenette with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Each unit also has a patio or terrace, often overlooking a quiet street, the garden or the inner courtyard, a detail not to be taken for granted in a guest house in the heart of Rome.
The main differences concern size, ranging from 18 sqm for the Deluxe Double/Twin Room to 28 sqm for the Superior Quadruple Room, and capacity, from 2 to 4 guests. Triple rooms add a sofa bed to the classic configuration, while the Superior Quadruple Room can also be arranged with four single beds. Garden-view accommodations are among the most requested by those wanting a greener outlook than the street.
The most compact room in the property at 18 sqm, designed for two people. It features a kitchenette, private bathroom, air conditioning and a patio overlooking a quiet street in Rione Monti. The bed configuration is flexible: a double bed or two singles, by choice.
Larger than the Deluxe room, this 23 sqm option accommodates up to three people thanks to the extra sofa bed. A full kitchenette, a terrace overlooking a quiet street and a private bathroom complete this solution designed for small groups.
Slightly smaller than the Luxury Triple at 21 sqm, but it stands out for its terrace with a garden view instead of a street view. It includes a kitchenette, private bathroom and air conditioning, with a single fixed two-bed configuration.
The most spacious room in the property at 28 sqm, designed for families or groups of up to four people. It offers two possible bed configurations, a kitchenette, private bathroom and a terrace overlooking a quiet street, plus air conditioning throughout the room.

Check-in and check-out can be arranged privately or as an express service, with luggage storage available for those arriving early or leaving late.

Each unit has a kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave oven, electric kettle and coffee machine, as well as a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. WiFi is free throughout the property, which is entirely non-smoking.
Roman Holiday Colosseo is located in Rione Monti, one of the oldest and most characteristic districts in central Rome, made up of alleys, artisan workshops and small local spots. The area retains a more residential feel compared to the nearby tourist streets, despite being just steps from the capital’s most famous monuments.
The Colosseum is about 500 metres away, the Domus Aurea 400 metres, and Palatine Hill about 1 km, all comfortably reachable on foot. Vittorio Emanuele metro station is 550 metres away, while Termini Laziali railway station is 800 metres away: two useful connections for getting around the city without a car, since the property does not offer parking. Ciampino Airport is 11 km away, and Fiumicino Airport is 20 km away. For a break, Pasticceria Cipriani is just 50 metres away.
Guests staying here can spend mornings visiting the Colosseum and Palatine Hill, then continue on to the Imperial Forums (1.3 km) and Piazza Venezia. From there, it’s also possible to walk to the Trevi Fountain, about 1.7 km away, and the Spanish Steps, 2.2 km away, for a stroll through the historic centre. On summer evenings, the Monti district comes alive with bars and small restaurants in the alleys around Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, while in winter the quieter atmosphere makes exploring the imperial ruins with fewer crowds all the more enjoyable.
