Good Rome Hotel

Great location. The bathroom needed some updating, and a little more diversity in the breakfast would have been nice. The owner and workers were very welcoming and willing to assist in any needs. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here!

Friendly Historic Boutique Hotel in good location

Overall, the hotel was fine and location convenient. The air condition certainly struggled to keep up with the heat wave and is not controllable by the guests.

The shuttle service to the airport was 45 euro and the room tax was higher than posted on Hotels.com and is required to be paid in cash which was an inconvenience when it was the tail end of our trip before heading back to the USA so had to go find a final ATM.

Stay here! You will not be disappointed!

Amazing! Alvin is extremely kind and accommodating!

The room was clean and comfortable and we loved the jacuzzi bath, as well as the gorgeous view of Piazza Venezia from the rooftop terrace. The location is central and only a 10 minute walk from the Trevi Fountain and Colosseum.

The best part for us was we were able to drop our bags off a few hours before check-in. When we returned, our bags had been brought to our room already. We checked out the next morning, however our flight wasn’t until 8pm. It was raining and Alvin let us relax upstairs in the loft/breakfast area and called us a taxi when we were ready to go. Thank you so much for that extra kindness, it made our last night and day in Rome that much better.

We will definitely stay here the next time we go to Rome, and you should stay here when you go to Rome!

Our room was very comfortable and the staff was great. Thank you Alvin for the great daily breakfast and hospitality, we enjoyed spending the week with you. Thanks also to Manuela for all of her suggestions on how to get around town, you made us feel right a home.

Fantastic Rome Experience

We loved staying here. It was close to everything, the bed was very comfortable, the history of the building was fascinating and the staff were brilliant. After arriving from 40 hrs of travel, Alvin gave us breakfast and access to a bathroom to freshen up which was so appreciated. The breakfasts were delicious. The staff are friendly, helpful and cheerful and the room layout was really good; a walk-in closet and generous bathroom.

The view from the rooftop is absolutely beautiful too, not to be missed. Thanks for a great stay- we’ll be back!

Unique hotel in the historical district of Rome

We had a fantastic time in this medieval hotel which has been completely renovated. The most unique feature was the rooftop terrace which we used everyday, providing magnificent views of Rome! We couldn't believe that we could even see St. Peter's dome every evening with a colorful sunset in the background. The staff were helpful and courteous assisting us even after check-out! Fabulous boutique hotel in the heart of Rome!

Great location and terrific staff!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay recently at the Residenza Torre Colonna. The two things that really stood out were its location and the service. The hotel is ideally located several blocks from the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and the Plaza Venezia, and perhaps a 15-minute walk from the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and other sights. As for the service, it was topnotch. From arrival to checkout, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and they seemed to genuinely care that our Roman holiday was a memorable one. Oh, and the breakfast each day was great as well! The only issues were the street noise--we were on the first floor, so we were often serenaded by Rome's continuous chorus of motors and sirens--and some minor issues with the A/C (hence my slightly lower scores for comfort and condition). However, these were not nearly significant enough to detract from our otherwise excellent experience. So, I certainly recommend the Residenza Torre Colonna for your trip to Rome!

Characterful medieval hotel with modern comforts

My partner and I went to Rome for a weekend break and stayed at Torre Colonna for 3 nights. I choose the hotel because it's a converted medieval tower and I loved the idea of staying somewhere with a bit of history. The hotel has wonderful character and has been converted very nicely, with beautiful original features everywhere such as the shuttered windows, painted wooden ceilings and hard floors. The newer touches, such as the big beds and secondary glazing to keep out street noise (very effectively) made it a very pleasant and comfy stay. We stayed in room 2 (the yellow one) which had a nice spacious bathroom with jacuzzi bath (we didn't use this as didn't have time - so much to see in Rome!) and good shower, along with a walk-in wardrobe space. The room was a comfortable size - not huge but not small either and plenty of space for the two of us, with a handy desk area and armchair too. Outside the room, the rest of the hotel was just as lovely, with a nice breakfast area with a view of Il Vittoriano from one side. Breakfast was lovely - fresh cheeses, meats, breads, fruit and cereal each morning, wish freshly squeezed juice and a hot drink - nothing was too much effort for the staff here. The roof terrace was also a great space with far-reaching views across Rome - we could see the Colosseum not far away! The hotel is brilliantly located, we wandered along to Trevi Fountain most evenings and were just on the doorstep of loads of sights. Loved our stay here!

We stayed for 3 nights in this lovely hotel. The decor is unique and very interesting. We enjoyed the stone floors and the wooden details. The bed I must say was very comfortable. Visiting Rome we wanted to be out exploring, but the bed was hard to get out of at times. The hotel provided us with a list of places to eat with a small review, this was very helpful and provided us with a couple great meals.
I highly recommend this as a place to stay.

Roof top views of the Coliseum in one direction and St Peters in the other. The B&B itself has an intimate charm and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Great hotel, great location, great hospitality.

A short stay to celebrate my 40th birthday, Monday to Wednesday in January. I had already had email contact with Sarah to arrange an airport collection, this cost 5 euros more than the standard fair but it was worth it.
We arrived at around 11 am, so well ahead of check in time but we were welcomed in by Sarah who introduced us to Alvin. A very warm welcome with lots of tips and guide materials for our stay and we were allowed in our room straight away.
As we'd had an early start, Alvin made us some fresh coffee and squeezed some orange juice to liven us up for the rest of the day....we weren't charged anything extra for this.
The room (room 3) isn't huge but easily enough for two. The bathroom is a good size and there was a small side room with coffee making facilities, a safe and a place to hang your clothes and store cases.
Location is brilliant, 10 minute walk to Trevi, Pantheon, the colosseum and a couple of minutes to Vittoriano, Via del Corso (shopping) and bus stops to Vatican.
Nothing is too much trouble, just like it should be for a small operation. Very personal and friendly service.
As it was my 40th the day before we arrived, Sarah very kindly left a bottle of champagne in our room on our first night.

We loved it.

A gem of a hotel

My mother and I stayed at this hotel for two nights before our return trip to the US. I just have to say, it is a wonderful and unique hotel. It's in an 800+ year old tower with only 5 available rooms, but the staff was very helpful and location couldn't be beat. Most of the famous attractions are about a 10 minute walk (e.g. Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, etc.). The rooftop view was AMAZING! with a jacuzzi! Unfortunately, we didn't get to enjoy the jacuzzi because we didn't have our bathing suits. Our room was clean and tidy and the bathroom (most important!) looked spotless. The breakfast room is on the 6th floor, though I hear it gets moved to the rooftop terrace during summer. Breakfast included your various breads and pastries, as well as cured meats and cheeses. You're given fresh squeezed orange juice and any type of coffee you request. I can't think of anything bad to say about this hotel. My only regret is that we couldn't stay for a couple more days. It's a unique experience that's definitely worth the stay.

Wer eine etwas aussergewöhnliche und besondere Unterkunft sucht ist hier richtig.
Es ist ein alter Turm aus dem 12 Jahrhundert, welcher aufwendig saniert wurde. Es gibt nur 5 Zimmer, pro Etage eines, die Zimmer sind klein, aber gut eingerichtet. Zuoberst auf der Dachterrasse darf man frühstücken oder einen Apero geniessen mit einem atemberaubenden Blick auf die Römer Altstadt (Treppen Steigen und Schwindelfreiheit erforderlich)
Man wird von der charmanten Gastgeber Familie persönlich begrüsst und mit guten Tipps ausgerüstet.
Sehr empfehlenswert, wenn man das Besondere sucht.

Staying in a medivial tower

Very nice, little hotel (they have just 5 rooms, every floor is one room and they seem all a bit different arranged). The rooms are smaller than they look on the pictures and so are the beds, but in general a very nice and clean place. Bathroom had a bit of smell due to insufficient ventilation in this ancient building, so we kept the door open and got some fresh air in, but at the end, when you stay at Torre Colonna, you stay in a tower from 1247, a place with a lot of history.
Friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast (more than expected from a continental breakfast). Street noise is a bit of an issue, the window to the main road had good sound proof, but the window to the side street hasn't. And there are a lot of ambulances passing with their sirens on.
The location is excellent, close to attractions like the Colosseum, the Monti district, or Piazza Navonna, and to shopping streets.
All in all a very special and nice place, if you like the sense of history around and don't mind about the limited space.
