Top Floor Colosseo Guesthouse is a guest house located on the fifth floor of a historic building in the Rione Monti district of Rome, just 200 metres from the Domus Aurea and 700 metres from the Colosseum.
The five room types, from the Triple to the Superior Double, share a private bathroom with bidet and hairdryer, air conditioning, soundproofed walls and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels; many welcome guests with a bottle of wine or champagne. The property is designed mainly for couples or small groups who want to explore the main monuments of ancient Rome on foot, but it also offers bike rental for those who prefer two wheels.
The area around Via Labicana is lively with restaurants, cafés and shops typical of the Monti district, while the Manzoni and Vittorio Emanuele metro stations, both less than 700 metres away, provide quick connections to the rest of the city. The car park-and-return service and free WiFi connection round off an offer designed for a practical, central stay.
The five rooms of the Top Floor Colosseo Guesthouse range from 14 to 18 square metres and are designed for two or three guests, with the Triple Room as the only multi-person option thanks to the additional single bed or the three-single-bed configuration. All feature a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, air conditioning, soundproofed walls and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, ensuring rest and privacy even in a historic building in the city centre.
The main differences concern the bed type and a few small extras: the Superior Double offers an extra-large bed or two single beds along with a welcome of wine or champagne, the Economy is the most compact option in the range, while the Flexible Room is only assigned at check-in based on availability at the time.
The Triple Room is the only option in the property designed for three guests, with 18 sqm and two possible bed configurations to choose from. It is soundproofed and equipped with an electric kettle, along with common comforts such as a private bathroom and air conditioning, ideal for small groups or families with a child.
At 18 sqm, it is the largest double room in the property, on par with the Triple Room but designed for two people. The private bathroom includes a bidet, shower and hairdryer, while guests are offered a welcome bottle of wine or champagne, a detail that sets it apart from the other double rooms.
It is the most compact room type in the guesthouse, with 14 sqm and a single double bed. Despite its small size, it still features a private bathroom with shower, satellite TV and a bottle of wine or champagne, making it an economical yet complete choice.
Unique among the available room types, this room is only assigned at check-in based on availability, and the property reserves the right to change it during the stay. It is suited to those looking for flexibility and with no specific requirements about the exact room.
At 15 sqm, it sits between the Economy and Superior rooms, and it is the only standard double room offering a choice between two single beds or a large double bed. The private bathroom with bidet and shower, along with the welcome bottle of wine, complete the amenities.
