The Manzoni is a guest house in Rome, in the Esquilino district, about 600 metres from Vittorio Emanuele Metro Station and just over a kilometre from the Colosseum.
The property is designed for those visiting the capital who are looking for a practical, non-smoking base near the main transport lines. It has a common room to relax in and offers free WiFi throughout the premises. The rooms, all with private bathroom, vary in size and layout: from the most compact single to the triple with a sofa bed, passing through doubles with city view or balcony.
The area around Viale Manzoni is among the busiest in Rome due to its proximity to metro stations, bars and neighbourhood restaurants. Couples who have stayed here have particularly praised the location, while Ciampino Airport is about 11 km away, convenient for those arriving on low-cost flights. A functional base for exploring the historic centre and the city’s main archaeological monuments on foot.
The rooms at The Manzoni share some basic features: a private bathroom in every unit and a compact layout, typical of guest houses in Rome’s historic centre, with sizes ranging from 10 to 18 square metres. The two Double Rooms with Private Bathroom, at 14 and 16 sqm, offer city views, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV, and differ only by a handful of extra square metres in the larger version.
The Double Room with Balcony, at 15 sqm, instead focuses on a personal outdoor space rather than the view from inside. Solo travellers can choose the Single Room with External Private Bathroom, the smallest at 10 sqm, while groups of three will find the Triple Room, at 18 sqm, the most spacious option thanks to the sofa bed paired with the double bed.

The property applies a daily cleaning service and adopts safety measures such as fire extinguishers and CCTV cameras in common areas. It is entirely non-smoking, a detail that defines its overall atmosphere, and has a lift to reach the rooms without difficulty.
Heating is provided during the colder months, while couples or groups staying here will find the common areas a convenient meeting point before or after outings in the Esquilino district.
The Manzoni is located in the Esquilino district, one of the liveliest and busiest areas of Rome, just steps from Viale Manzoni and the area connecting Termini Station to the Colosseum. The urban setting is typical of the wider historic centre: period buildings, small bars and neighbourhood restaurants such as Bistrò al 133 and Wineart, both less than 200 metres from the property.
Transport links are a real strength: Manzoni Metro Station is just 100 metres away, while Vittorio Emanuele Metro Station can be reached in about 500 metres on foot. Roma Termini Station, the city’s main railway hub, is about 1.6 km away. For those arriving by air, Rome Ciampino Airport is about 11 km away, while Fiumicino is just over 20 km away.
From a tourist perspective, the location allows some of the capital’s most important archaeological sites to be reached on foot: the Colosseum is about 1 km away, the Domus Aurea 850 metres away and Porta Maggiore 750 metres away. Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano, with its basilica, is also just over 350 metres away. In summer the district comes alive in the evening with outdoor venues, while in winter it remains a good base for getting around the historic centre and the most popular museums, thanks to its proximity to two metro lines.
