Keys did not work ever - even after three different sets. Showers way, way, way too small — 2’ x 2’. Staff only there until noon. Beds very, very, very uncomfortable. If you are staying with two people - this is an ok place, beds ok. If you are staying with five - forget it - beds very uncomfortable, keys don’t work, one bathroom with a tiny, tiny shower —- good luck!!! Great location. Very poor for families over two people.

This place is not a hotel. It is more like a converted townhouse/apartment. That being said, we loved it. Had 2 twin beds and a good sized bed. Easily and comfortably fit 2 adults and 2 kids. The bathroom shower is very small so if you are tall it will be a problem. Very close to the colosseum. 5 restaurants, 3 gelato places within 2 minutes walk. Would come back

Fantastic location. Literally a few streets away from the coliseum. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean and tidy. We saw staff everyday who made sure we were ok. However, the one thing that let down our stay was the shower. When you have been out all day in the baking sun you want to come back to your room and have a nice shower.. the 3 nights we stayed this was not the case. The shower ran red hot, burning in fact for a few mins then freezing cold for several. It was impossible to shower properly. I told hotel staff who said it would be fixed, it was the same the second night. I mentioned it again and on the last night it was dangerously hot, no cold at all. We felt this was very dangerous if our son had showered first. Alas, for this reason I would never stay there again or recommend this hotel.

Downgraded our room at last minute

The location and service was very good. The young man who was servicing the rooms was very attentive. Our main complaint/disappointment was that we had booked a suite well in advance, and we received an email when we were in Florence (the day before travelling to Rome), saying the suite was double booked and that we would get a regular room instead. There was no discount, but they included breakfast vouchers (which we didn't use), and we didn't have to pay the tourist tax.
We specifically searched a long time for a suite in a good location, and this last minute change left us no time to cancel and find another place. Very disappointed in that regard.

Great location! The place, not so good!

Technically not a hotel. There are totally 2-3 rooms in an apartment unit.
I'd have been fine with it if I knew this earlier. Hotels.com needs to make this clear and categorize them differently.

My check out was at 8 am (I told them the time in advance) and no one showed up. So I couldn't pay the city tax, and had to leave. Then I realize that I left some stuff at the closet... called several times, no answer. Replied to the same email address that they asked me for my arrival time, the email was denied... I couldn't get them and am now back home in the states!

Close to Forum and Comfortable

Sweet old hotel in an apartment building. Air conditioner is not strong but will work if you leave it on for a few hours before bed. The front desk guy was nice, but not there most of the time. He did his best to make sure to meet us when we came in and to get everything ready for us. The hotel is within walking distance of The Forum and the Colosseum. Beautiful! There are good restaurants and little grocery stores on the street. Not luxurious but plenty good for sleeping at night. If you nap in the daytime, bring earplugs because the street is loud during the day.

Good location, not 24 hour reception

We liked the hotel until it got to the last day of our holiday. We told a member of staff that we would check out the following day at 10am and they advised that that would be fine. On this day they tried to tell us that we had not paid which was not the case and we had to find an Internet cafe to prove this. Then on the check out day, no member of staff were to be seen all day which meant we could not leave our luggage anywhere even though previously advised we could so we had to drag this around all day. Generally the hotel was lovely with a good location but the above let us down a bit.

Perfect!

Our first time in Rome, we couldnt have asked for a better spot! Chromo Octho is located right on Via Cavour with close proximity to the Termini train/bus station as well as to the Colosseum. Paolo was so helpful with getting us settled in and with his specific instructions and advice regarding eating/sightseeing. We got the entire apartment to ourselves and it was perfect! Highly recommend this place.. book in advance, since there is huge demand for this wonderful space!! :)

Excellent Location needs some attention

From the reviews I read, I really wanted to love this hotel.

When I travel, I don't expect much - a clean comfortable room, a good nights sleep and a good shower. Everything else is not top on my priority list.

Our room was clean and comfortable, the staff were great, very helpful. The air con worked. The biggest disappointment was the shower, which at best could be described as a 'trickle'. Both the over-head shower and the hand-held were so badly blocked with lime scale, the water trickled out. Getting the hot and cold balance was difficult at the best of times - sometimes it was hot, sometimes it went cold. I pointed this out to the manager who said it was due to the hard water in Rome. Not really an excuse - should have changed the units.

Second issue was the noise. Although we were on a main Street, you could hear the traffic but this was not an issue as such. The street noise wasn't intrusive. The issue were some kids running around the staircase in the building in the early morning. This was not directly the hotels fault - we bought ear plugs for the second night and slept great.

Other than that, the safe was missing due to damage and hadn't been replaced yet.

The hotel was in A Fantastic location. 3 minutes from the Forum and Collosseum.

I would recommend this hotel - just bring ear plugs and hope that they fix the shower.

Great location, but unique hotel

The hotel is in a wonderful location on a busy, popular street around the corner from the Colosseum. The manager, Paul/Paolo, is very nice, however he's only at the hotel for a few hours a day. Although he left his phone number as a contact, it makes it difficult when I had questions.

The room was always clean, but it is small, especially the bathroom. The shower is approximately 2x2ft, so it was extremely difficult to move while showering.

I would recommend it for the location, but there were improvements that need to be made, in my opinion.

Near colusseum and loads of restaurants. Room large, clean and well equipped with slightly quirky decor. Only criticism was the shower was difficult to control - cold/hot/cold/hot etc. This hotel is (I think) a converted apartment with just 2 or 3 rooms, but don't let that put you off - a very nice stay and a great location.

Excellent hotel!

Everything was perfect. The central location was great, your never to far from anything you need. There were lots of restaurants and bars close by and the colosseum is only a 5 minute walk down the road. The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful! When we arrived we were given a map of the area and were shown all the best places to visit, and with it being my partners 21st birthday during our stay we came back to our room and found a bottle of prosecco with 2 glasses, which just made the weekend that extra bit special. The room was a good size and very clean. Apart from the slight noise of being next to a main road you couldn't hear anyone else in the other rooms. I would deffinately recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to visit Rome!

Awesome hotel, great value for its price. Only negative comment is that the window is not exactly air tight. There are cold air coming in through relatively big gaps on the window allowing cold air in. Also due to this, it is quite noisy from the traffic at night. Thankfully the traffic is not heavy during the night.

Conveniently located hotel near Cavour metro stop

The room was nicely realized with a comfortable bed and plenty of room for my single-stay. The room faced on Via Cavour, but the street noise was not a big deal at all. Everything had been prepared in advance very professionally by Zaira, who was very helpful in terms of the neighborhoods, sites, advice, etc. I needed to leave a bag after checkout and she happily accommodated that. I have no complaints at all and would be perfectly happy staying there again.

Неквалифицированный персонал и ужасный сервис!

Ужасное и неквалифицированный персонал, которые не решает возникшие вопросы. Остановились в отеле на одну ночь, так как друзья уехали днём ранее, а апартаменты было забронированы до 10 ноября. После долгой прогулки по городу в поседений день остались в холодном номере без горячий воды. На ресепшене никого, а на телефоны указанные в номере и на дверях никто не отвечает, один номер принадлежит сотруднику, который работал 4 года тому назад. Единственный доступный номер это тот, который у них на сайте и там мне дали очень странный ответ, что это наверное проблема здания, а не отеля и никого они позвать из сотрудников отеля не могут. Хотя время ещё не слишком позднее и на Hotels.com у них есть поздний заезд, что говорит о том, что сотрудники отеля могут быть на месте или хотя бы на территории. Утром появился сотрудник, который даже ничего не знал о нашей проблеме и сам не понимал, что такое и как решить вопрос. Потом он зашёл в хоз комнату и что-то включил, а потом показывал нам, что все типа работает. Отель просто не включил обогрев воды, хотя в отели мы были единственные гости! Ужасный персонал и отель! Не ведитесь на низкую стоимость!

Værelset var småt men flot. Vinduer ud til gaden - vi kunne godt lide det men måske andre synes det er for lyst og befærdet. Der var varmt og lidt indelukket om natten og aircondition var ikke ret meget bevendt.

Det var ikke super god betjening. Man skal aftale med receptionen hvornår man tjekker ind - for det er i virkeligheden mere et \"guesthouse\" end et hotel - der er ikke fast receptionist. Det tog lang tid at få nøgler der virkede.

צ'ק אין איטו בטירוף

כשניגשנו למקום, ישנה דלת כניסה גדולה שלא בניין, אי אפשר לפתוח אותה ללא מפתח, ולא ענו לנו עם הפעמון.
במזל השגנו שיחות והתקשרנו למס שהיה מצויים בהזמנה,ענה לי הבחור של הצ'ק אין והסביר לי שעוד 15 דקות הוא מגיע.
אחרי 39 דקות שאנחנו ממתינים לו, התקשרנו שוב והבטיח ש5 דקות הוא מגיע..
בסופו של דבר הגיע באיחור של שעה, מצטער ומסביר לנו שהוא עובד בעוד 3 מלונות והוא עושה צ'ק אין בכולם.. זה לקח לנו זמן רב מהטיול ודיי ביאס אותנו.
אין ארוחת בוקר, ישנם עוד מס חדרים ששומעים הכל מהכל, וגם הרעש מבחוץ דיי מפריע.

Fick sen information om att vi skulle bli flyttade till ett annat Chroma hotell, alldeles i närheten. Det enda problemet var att denna lgh (familjerum) var mindre än den ursprungligt avtalade. Detta fick vi sedermera kompensation för.

Lägenheten var annars enligt förväntningar, ren och funktionell. Området mycket bra, nära till restauranger, Coloseum samt tågstation.

Bra överlag, men att vi fick byta hotell och till ett mindre rum drar ned helhetsbetyg

Flott leilighet med god plass til en familie på 4. Ligger sentralt tett på Coloseum og fint utgangspunkt for sightseeing. Det fremstår som ny og flott med aircondition på begge soverom. Det er ikke et hotell men en leiegård hvor de har noen leiligheter plassert. Kan trygt anbefales hvis du ønsker et fint sted som ikke er hotell men hvor du kan lage litt mat selv også.
