Old and tired. Not a traditional hotel with lobby reception but have to ring bell outside, manager let's you in, up 1 flight of stairs (has elevator but not to this floor). Inside is office and 3 small rooms. Our room has dangerously slippery shower floor, moldy shower curtain, broken light fixture, lights with missing fixture so just a bare bulb. Lots of deferred maintenance. You had keys to let yourself in from the street and inside the \"Inn\" . Do not recommend at all!

5 star location. Literally down the street from the Colosseum. Plenty of restaurants and a mini markets nearby. Friendly staff. Be advised, this is a small boutique hotel within a larger building of serveral residences, etc. It’s not fully staffed 24/7. If you’re not checking in during the check in window, plan ahead. We arrived very early on a Sunday morning and were able to store our luggage at a nearby cafe through “bounce”. Very convenient. Staff was very friendly. Accommodations aren’t fancy but it’s got everything you need and the place was clean.

Overall, the Nicolas Inn was aligned with what they presented in the listing for the room itself. The main issue overall was that the bathroom was absolutely disgusting and frankly things that showcased the lack of frequent cleaning. There was so much mold and it showed they don’t care for the bathroom. Honestly even the shower curtain could be easily replaced for a very small amount but they didn’t.

We absolutely loved our stay at Nicholas Inn! The location was perfect for all the activities we had planned to enjoy the city of Rome. Its location makes it a prime spot for getting around town to visit all the wonderful historical sites that Rome has to offer. It is a 15-20 minute walk from the train station and close to several Metro stops. The room was clean, our linens were refreshed each day, it was spacious, and the staff were available for questions as needed. It looks out over a main road so there is lots of activity until the early hours of the morning but once the window was closed, you can easily block any noise out. We enjoyed having it open and listening to the sound of the locals as they ended and began their day. There’s not an elevator and part of the stairway is narrow, so be prepared to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs. The only thing we didn’t like was the mattresses - not so comfortable but other than that, I highly recommend the inn and would absolutely stay there again.

The location is amazing! We were able to walk to the hotel after getting off the Leonardo Express. All the major sights are within walking distance so the location is the best thing about the hotel. We visited in April it was warm! The check in was interesting, the signage to the actual door is inadequate and we wandered around at first, the hotel is in a residential building. The entry door is on the second floor up the stairs on the left after entering the gate. The hotel managed did come find us in the courtyard after I emailed him that we were tying to find him. The room was clean and the AC worked but again it was April. There is minimal soundproofing and everything is heard. Earplugs are good and we kept our voices low or tried to. All in all I would stay again!

The inn keeper was very helpful and did an excellent job. It was nice to be able to come back to a spotless room every day after exploring the city. As an added bonus the inn keeper knew English so that was very helpful. The location is within a three minute walk to the colosseum, the forum, and train stop. It is right next to street pizza and markets as well as scooter rentals and nice restaurants. We would stay at Nicolas Inn again.

Main door to our Inn was a problem. You have to be buzz in for Inn -for the door to be open. BUT buzzer was broken. No way to get inside. We had to wait for very kind neighbors to let us inside. This Inn is on second floor (per USA standards) with many stairs to climb. Elevator is / was broken, so if you have heavy luggage with you, you will be sweating. Great location, charming old historical building, very basic accommodation. For one night ok . If you are staying longer in Rome invest more in your comfort.

Great Location, only things I did not like shower head did not have a holder, shower was really small (I’m normal size person) tiles in room where broken and would pop off sometimes while I’m walking. There is an elevator but could not figure out how to use it (only 1 floor up). Overall this is a good location to get to main attractions and a couple Steps away from bus stop of train station so no hauling luggage long distances. The office space at the entrance had a very strong odor that really needs to be deep cleaned. The room was fine though and the staff were very friendly.

We stayed 2 nights. On the plus side, it's near several Rome attractions, including the Collisium and the Roman Forum, and the hop on hop off busses. But even our walk to Santa Maria Maggiore was only 15 min. Google maps works well to get around on foot! Check in was easy... they asked what time we would be arriving and although we got there early, our room was ready. The front doorbell works! Ring it and the owner comes down to get you! The inn owner was very good at explaining all the locks (there are 3 of them to get into the hotel!) and repeated himself to be sure! Room was clean and relatively quiet. And the AC worked fine although never got real cold.
It's an old building so don't expect the Ritz. Lots of restaurants nearby.
As others have mentioned, the beds are hard but they all were throughout Italy. The towels were somewhat scratchy but the bed linens were fine. Extra pillows and blankets were stored in a cabinet.
If you're visiting Rome to see the sites, i recommend the Nicolas inn!!!

Great location and wonderful service

The location was great (nicely central) and the room was exactly what we wanted - somewhere clean and comfortable to rest up between doing tourist trips round the city. The shower was good, the pillows and bedding were really comfy, the AC worked well, and there was chilled water on arrival which was a welcome touch. The host was really helpful and looked after our bags after we’d checked out so we didn’t have to haul them around all day, so we really appreciated the service.

Basic but functional

Don’t expect the hotel to look anything like the picture. The building is ancient so you can’t expect perfection.
PROs >>> you can walk to the Colosseum and other historic sites in 5-10 minutes. Surrounded by great restaurants.
Good AC


CONs>> Manager was reclusive and off-putting.
Old plumbing which was noisy and allowed sewer gas into the rooms
No sound insulation between rooms.
Terrible door locks.
Extremely small TV we never even bothered to turn it on.

We would consider rebooking there in the future only because of its great location.

Great value hotel

Pros- You can’t get a better location for this price. We were a 2 minute walk from the Colosseum. Hotel is a small, intimate, 3 room, very close to many attractions, with a great host.
Cons- The bed was hard as a rock. There was tape holding the electric outlet to the walls. When we arrived to check in, there was no information on where to go.. no sign, etc. A minor thing (could be a USA thing?) but we would have liked a door hanger asking for no service in our room when we didn’t want to be bothered.
Overall, for the price and considering the amount of time we spent in the room, you can’t beat it.

Basic but clean & perfectly situated

I was so concerned about our stay after reading some terrible reviews/photos that I nearly cancelled but I'm so glad I didn't. The Superior Triple room was basic but a good size, adequate and very clean. Facilities included aircon, fridge, a wall mounted hairdryer that even dried my daughter's thick hair, plenty of coat hangers and spare blankets. Complimentary bottles of water were given on arrival.
Our only concern was the state of a couple of the electrical wall sockets but we used the 4 plug adapter and we never left anything on when we weren't there (except the fridge).
Our stay was only for 3 nights and towels were changed each day. We made our own beds so don't know if these would have been done. The ensuite bathroom was roomy with a good sized shower.
The accommodation is in a large building and I suspect it was once a sizeable apartment converted with only 3 or 4 rooms. It doesn't bear any resemblance to the picture of a quaint inn tucked away in a quiet corner. It is typical of the large buildings of Rome that house many apartments and is situated on a busy road. However, it has character and any muffled noise that did sometimes filter through the window was not intrusive. Best of all, was where it was situated. Literally 5 mins walk to the Colosseum, about 100 metres from the Roman Forum and surrounded by a variety of restaurants. I'd definitely recommend checking out those in the back street behind the Inn. Would we stay there again? Most definitely!

Overall, the stay was very good. Our host was wonderful. Although some people reported the area felt unsafe, we did not notice this at all. Always felt safe there, and the area was very very convenient. The only downside was the use of tape to secure light switches to the wall and loose floor tiles. The grout in the shower could have been cleaned better also. We would definitely stay here again because for the price it was a very, very good value.

This property advertises as having AC however, the AC unit in my room was so weak it did not cool down the room. It didn’t make a difference if the AC was on or off. The tiles on the floor are not glued down and can come off. There were several moths in the bathroom and what looks like mold in the shower. The area is a bit sketchy but it is extremely close to the Colosseum and restaurants. Overall, I do not recommend this accommodation and I will never return. I recommend reading the google reviews too.

Very central location, no lobby so was hard to know where to go when you arrived. Elevator wasn't working, luckily it was only one flight of stairs and we travelled with hand luggage. We thought breakfast was included but we were mistaken. Room was clean but a little tired. But for the location, it was good value.

The location of this property is the best! Steps from Colissee and Foro Romano, as well as multiple dining options and a 500m away Metro station in both directions.
The room itself was simple but clean, although the bathroom has some mould in it. The concierge is friendly enough and helpful.

Simple facilities but a really good sized room and bathroom in an excellent location for sightseeing ( v close to Colloseum & Roman Forum) and plenty of bars/restaurants nearby. Gentleman who checked us in very helpful with sorting an airport taxi the next day. Great value - would definitley stay again if visiting Rome. NB Sign outside v small so not the easiest to find!

Comfortable and affordable. Close to Coliseum. Approximately 20 minute walk to train station. Walked multiple times. Even walked from Vatican city even though it was a far walk.
Food establishments right there.
Loreto (owner) met us upon arrival. Very personable and helpful. Helped carry our luggage up 2 flights. Arranged taxi for return to airport. Would stay there again. Highly recommend.

Great Value Stay

Staff was friendly and very helpful. Everything in the room worked. AC perfect! The bathroom was adequate and clean. There was some banging noises from somewhere in the complex each night around 7pm till 9pm. not sure what it was about. the wall are not sound proof but other guest were quite so not s problem. GREAT LOCATION for center rome experience. I have to give it a overall 10 because of the value and location to Archeological sites ,access to transportation and value.

Overall absolutely worth it for the location. My friend and I walked everywhere. Whether to the Spanish Steps or down to the Non-Catholic Cemetery where Keats & Shelley are buried and the Forum is not only close but the entrance area is very close too so that enabled me to visit twice. Only reason for the missing star is the light fixtures seemed to have issues in the room and the bath, the bathroom was fixed during our stay. And because the traffic noise will keep and/or wake a person up. But other than that absolutely superb

This is a gem of a stay in Rome. I give it 5 stars based on the friendly and helpful host, Loreto. He made our stay so easy, was very informative, had our room ready early for us, and helped with our luggage. We asked for food recommendations upon our check in and he walked us to it, and returned to find our friend and escorted her to it as well! He also gave us a map and spent about 5 minutes showing us how to get to key places in Rome from the hotel. I’ve stayed various places in Rome and this was by far my fave! I will stay again.It’s a boutique 4 room stay in an old building (like many Rome accommodations). The room is very clean and basic amenities are provided. The beds are true European style so fairly hard but comfortable and plenty of extra bedding is provided. The old character and charm coupled with the location of this hotel were perfect for us. It’s not a 5-star luxury hotel, but it’s a true European experience for a great price at a great location. It was clean and safe and had AC and heat that worked really well! Literally a block from the colosseum and two blocks from the metro station. Things to be aware of: the building does have an elevator but it doesn’t go to the very bottom floor of the courtyard. The hotel is on the first floor so it’s really not that big of a deal other than getting luggage up and down. Loreto helped us though so it was no problem. The shower is a little slippery but has groves in it and a slider is built in for easy entry and exit.

Great location if you want to have nearby access to so many Roman ruins—the forum, the Colosseum... and easy access to the main train station. Nicholas Inn is not fancy, but it's small and clean with a great reception.

Had no issues checking in or out. I had an early 4AM departure so was able to pay any city taxes/fees in advance.
Was able to communicate to the owner as when to expect my arrival, and was there on hand to let me in.
Great location close to the Forums and only about a 20min walk from the main train station. Not bad on arrival as it's mostly down hill.
