Room types

The five room types at ST MARY MAJOR LOFT by Kambal Group share air conditioning, soundproofing, a private bathroom with bidet, flat-screen TV with streaming services and a minibar with tea and coffee set, ensuring a good level of comfort regardless of the choice. Sizes range from 15 sqm in the Deluxe Double to 20 sqm in the Quadruple, with configurations designed for both couples’ stays and larger groups thanks to additional sofa beds.

The main differences concern the view, capacity and bathroom features: some rooms open onto the city, others onto the interior courtyard, while the larger solutions such as the Deluxe Family Room and the Quadruple include a bathtub in addition to the shower. The Triple Room, with two beds combining a double bed and a sofa bed, is instead aimed at those travelling in small groups who still seek quiet, well air-conditioned spaces in the heart of Rome.

Location & what to see

The property is located in the Esquilino district, one of the most central and lively areas of Rome, just steps from the monumental Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, which stands only 400 metres away. The surroundings are typical of the area around Termini: streets lively with bars, trattorias and small shops, with a mix of historic buildings and nineteenth-century structures like the one that houses the loft.

Connections are among the strengths of the area: the Vittorio Emanuele metro station is 150 metres away, Rome Termini station is about 550 metres away and the Termini Laziali stop of the local train is just 300 metres away, convenient for those wanting to move quickly around the city. The Colosseum can be reached on foot in about one kilometre, while Ciampino Airport is 11 km away and Fiumicino Airport is 20 km away, both connected by buses and direct trains to Termini.

Guests staying here can easily organise visits to the capital’s main archaeological sites: besides the Colosseum, the Imperial Forums (1.6 km), Palatine Hill (1.4 km) and the Domus Aurea (850 metres) are within walking distance, particularly evocative in the spring months when it can be visited with guided tours. Nearby is also the National Roman Museum, about 700 metres away, while the Trevi Fountain and Piazza di Spagna can be reached with a walk of about 20 minutes, ideal on summer evenings when the centre stays lively until late.
