Colosseum Garden — Hotel in Rome

What a great place. Kind courteous helpful staff. Minutes walk to Colosseum. Safe area. Apartment has secured entry plus two other key entries until you get to your room. Mega safe. Balcony outside room. Private. Private shower (hot and great pressure). We walked from the termini but I recommend a taxi. Stay off bus 64 (pic pockets) don't use the subway. Keep your backpack in front. Use locks. Don't stop for anyone even if they look legit. Once you are here in your safe room carry cash on your bra or boot...sock even. You need cash for Cafe and small vendors. Restaurants use cards with chips or cash. There's a market close by excellent and low priced. We (2 people) spent $35 a day eating and drinking from the market. One meal out in the heart of Rome cost $40 for two. Do not take flowers or stop for people yelling Africa with bracelets. It's a con. The soldiers outside the Colosseum will take pics with you. The want money. If you want to take pics it's 5-10 (I gave them 5 Euro). The pics they take suck so try to get some yourself don't let them take them. Lol Rome is amazing and the locals are awesome. Police are helpful, street musicians talented and it's rich in 4000 year old history and ruins. Highly recommend this hotel...

Hotel staff was knowledgeable and recommended the restaurants to visit and the ones to avoid, which this saved time and money! Their hotel "lobby" was a treat, because it was retro decorated and they offered free espresso while checking-in. The location was perfect because it was close to the Coliseum. The apartment's kitchen had all the necessary supplies (corkscrew and wine glasses, salt, oil). The only negative experience was the hot water was not working, but they were in constant communication with us in trying to fix the problem and it was fixed by the next business day. I would...

My husband n I arrived for a 4 night stay and honestly I was a bit nervous. However, I wasn't disappointed. We were super early and our room was not ready, still the gentleman let us check in and leave our bags so we could grab lunch. We returned 1 hr prior to the time given and he was kind enough to lead us to our room. Which was really nice with a great view and super clean! Lots of fresh towels and comfortable bed! We were literally 5 min walk to the great Colosseum! I would highly recommend Retrome and would definitely...
