Colosseum - Foro Romano Hotels

I booked for myself and four friends going out for the Six Nations and spent a lot of time checking out reviews of various hotels. I have stayed in Rome before but as this was going to be a short trip, 4 days, I wanted a central location so that we didn't spend too much time travelling in and out. I settled on Hotel Ivanhoe as it had the best rating to price ratio within our budget. The welcome on arrival was excellent and although we were slightly early for check in the staff processed us through and took us to our rooms. You may see reports of cramped rooms, small showers etc. Yes, this is an old building and is constrained by its floorplan, but, do not judge too quick. I'm the smallest of our group at 5'10" (1.77m) and of a large build and it was fine. Even my far bigger friends agreed the facilities were more accommodating than in many places we had stayed before. Bit tight in the shower but it serves it purpose well. We had twin rooms and the beds are quite close together, but we didn't come to Rome to sleep all day and our main interest was comfort, cleanliness and practicality and Hotel Ivanhoe achieves all these and more. The Hotel is immaculate. The cleaning staff here do a top notch job. Breakfast is a typical continental affair and you can add to that with hot scrambled eggs, either plain or with cheese and/or ham. .

This is a good hotel in a good location. Handy for the Railway station and reasonably near the attractions. Only critisism of the hotel is that there were not coffee making facilities in the room. Other than that 10/10

Wish we had more time to explore the quaint area around the hotel. Very comfortable rooms. It felt like we were in a castle, whcih was amazing!

This hotel exceeded my expectations in terms of location and comfort. One could walk to the Coliseum or Circus Maximus just to the east or to Capitoline Hill minutes away to the north or to the Tiber River just to the west. Vatican City was easily accessible with a bus ride and the hotel staff carefully explained how to get anywhere you needed to go. If you are flying to the USA from Rome, I'd recommend using a hotel car that would take you directly to the terminal that is for USA flights only; it is separated from the other terminals and would have been a pain to access if you take the express train from Rome Central.

The hotel is in a great location. The colosseum is just a few blocks away. The little street outside has good cheap eating places and small bar and food shop. Internet was very reliable and fast . The staff were very knowledgable

This trip was to celebrate a special birthday. I had arranged for a private car pick up at the airport as we landed very late at night. The hotel arranged this, and although a bit pricey, I would certainly recommend this. The hotel was lovely and clean, and the room quiet and comfortable. The ensuite shower room was well appointed, and perfectly adequate. In the morning there was the ubiquitous continental breakfast with a fine variety of cold meats, breads and pastries. It set us up nicely for busy days of going round the sights of this fascinating city. We threw our coins into the Trevino Fountain so we will definitely be back to Rome and this hotel.

This hotel is literally two minutes walk from the Colosseum and perfectly placed for getting around Rome on foot or by public transport.

This hotel is located right next to the Roman Forum and close to the Colosseum. It's a good hotel.

This hotel was wonderful. Very clean, tidy and perfect service. Breakfast was lovely with great service!!! I couldn't rate this hotel high enough. We enjoyed our stay very much.
