Mercure Roma Centro Colosseo

The location is really good, the staff were really good also breakfast was good and had good variety

Mostly excellent: walking distance of main Rome attractions; good view of Colosseum ; clean and luxurious; we needed to stay a further night due to a flight cancellation, and the staff were so helpful to try to find us a room when fully booked: it was a single for two of us, but the rooms are pretty spacious so no problem; the rooftop restaurant has a limited but reasonable menu and not at all expensive.

I booked this hotel for my husbands birthday mostly for the rooftop pool and the close proximity to the Colosseum. I was happy with the colosseum side facing room (see photos). Staff were friendly and helpful - providing us with an extra pillow and ordering us a taxi to the airport. Breakfast seemed expensive (€17pp?) so we did not add this. Instead we used a coffee shop next door - Ciuri Ciuri Celio. The hotel has some lovely restaurants and gelaterias in nearby side streets. I recommend ‘Il Braciere’ cafe to the rear of the hotel, very reasonable and loved by locals. Very close to transport links and €40 from CIA airport. Just 5mins from the Colosseum and close to hop on / hop off city bus tours. 45min walk to the Vatican. 30min walk to Spanish steps & Trevi Fountain. Rooms are small however they are clean and modern. Fridge, TV, safe and 2x bottles of cold water. Air con could’ve been stronger (however temperatures were 36/37° when we visited). The rooftop pool was VERY busy during the weekends (guests lying on the floor as the sunbeds had all been taken). This may not be the case in cooler temperatures.

Superb location, super friendly staff and a pool on the rook over looking the Colosseum, what’s not to like? Really good location particularly if you are interested in the ancient Roman sites such as the forum, Palatine Hill and the Colosseum.

The hotel was lovely, location was excellent, the view from the rooftop was beautiful with a clear view of the colosseum and surrounding areas. The rooftop bar was great for food and drinks in a lovely chill atmosphere. The pool looked great but we didn't go in as we didn't have time. Breakfast was very good and the staff were helpful and competent. There's plenty of restaurants and bars in the vicinity and public transport is very close by.
