Mercure Roma Centro Colosseo

Just a few minutes walk from the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palestine Hill and Arch of Constantine, this hotel couldn’t be better placed for exploring the historic sites of Rome. After a day of sightseeing, you can cool off in the rooftop swimming pool and then admire the sunset over the eternal city with a refreshing beverage in your hand.

Your air conditioned room will be equipped with a TV with satellite channels, minibar, kettle, plus a safe (large enough for a laptop). Free WiFi is available, or if you prefer to get news the traditional way, you can read a complimentary newspaper. Hotel rooms in the historic centre of Rome are typically smaller than average, but if you upgrade to the Privilege with Sofabed option, you will have a spacious 22m2 area at your disposal. You will also benefit from complimentary soft drinks and a Nespresso® machine.

To start the day, there’s a choice of three breakfast options. Take what you fancy from the buffet or if you’ve got an early flight to catch, then choose the express option. Prefer to watch TV as you eat? Then you can order what you want and have it delivered to your room. And while there’s hundreds of restaurants in Rome, if you prefer to stick to something straight forward but tasty, the hotel’s lounge and rooftop bars both have a food menu.

The hotel is close to the Colosseo Metro stop, providing direct access to the main station in Rome (Termini), as well as an easy way of reaching the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps. With just one change at Piramide you can also reach the extensive archaeological site at Ostia Antica and Lazio’s sandy beaches. The Colosseum may be the main draw, but do have a wander in the opposite direction where you will find a surviving section of the city walls, dating from the 3rd century and the cathedral of Saint John Lateran (the official seat of The Pope).
