Colosseo Exclusive House by Premium Suites Collection

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Colosseo Exclusive House? The address alone tells you everything – Via San Giuseppe Labre is this tiny street that most tourists walk right past, but it’s actually genius positioning. You’re literally in Monti, which honestly feels like the Rome that locals still claim as their own, with all those wine bars tucked into medieval alleyways and actual Romans doing their evening shopping. The Colosseum is close enough that you can see it from some rooms (I mean, the name isn’t subtle), but you’re far enough from the tourist chaos that you can actually sleep at night without hearing guided tour groups at 6 AM.

The property itself feels more like staying at a design-savvy friend’s apartment than a traditional hotel – which makes sense since it’s part of Premium Suites Collection, not some massive chain. The rooms have this sort of refined industrial thing going on, all exposed brick and sleek fixtures, but they actually nailed the comfort part too. The beds are properly firm (thank god), and the bathrooms have those rain showers that don’t make you crouch under a trickle of water like so many Roman hotels. What really impressed me was the attention to soundproofing – you’d think being on a side street would guarantee quiet, but Rome is Rome, and somehow they’ve managed to create this peaceful bubble. The kitchenettes are actually functional too, not just for show, which matters when you want to grab groceries at the Conad down the street and have breakfast without paying hotel prices.

Here’s the thing about this location that you won’t get from looking at a map – you’re about a three-minute walk from Cavour metro station, which connects you to everything, but more importantly, you’re in the heart of where Romans actually go out. Via del Boschetto and Via dei Serpenti are right there with all the good restaurants that don’t have tourist menus, and honestly, just wandering these streets in the evening feels like you’ve discovered some secret version of Rome. The staff clearly gets that most guests are here for the neighborhood as much as the proximity to major sites – they’re full of suggestions for places that aren’t in guidebooks. I did notice check-in can be a bit slower if you arrive during the evening rush (lots of business travelers seem to choose this place), but the front desk folks are genuinely helpful, not just going through the motions. The only real downside? Parking is basically nonexistent on the street, but that’s true for most of central Rome, and they’ll point you toward nearby garages if you’re driving for some reason.

Reviews

• A great place with a perfect location close to most of city attractions. Very helpful staff – Parviz from United Kingdom – 23 April 2025 (9/10)

  Location of the facility was great. Staff contacted online with all data needed how to access. during stay sent a list of top attractions and restaurants which might be visited. Facility is huge and it was very clean
  Staff very helpful and helpful with any type of requests.
  Internet was stable. Loved the place and would recommend it to my friends.
  
  What could be improved: The bathrooms were quite "tired", needed some minor cosmetics fixing/repairs.
  Cleaning items like sponge for dishes, was missing so was hard to clean after ourselves.

• Everything was perfect—spacious, clean, and warm apartment, great location near top attractions – Ciobotaru from Romania – 27 February 2025 (10/10)

  Everything was perfect! The apartment was spacious, clean, warm, and very close to all the main attractions. There were excellent restaurants in the area. The Colosseum was just a 5-minute walk away. Many of the top 10 tourist attractions were within a 15-20 minute walk. A stroll through the historic center during the day, followed by a relaxing evening in a very comfortable setting. The kitchen was perfectly equipped for cooking at home.

• Great location and fantastic, spacious apartment. – Siobhan from Australia – 28 January 2025 (9/10)

  Great location and fantastic, spacious apartment.
  
  What could be improved: Minor problem with the hot water not working, but it was soon fixed.

• Really really nice place 🙂 – Karlosdrummer from Poland – 4 December 2024 (10/10)

  Of course, without the slightest doubt, the greatest advantage of the facility is its location in the Colloseo area. The apartment also has a spacious living room and a kitchen for shared use. The bedrooms are also large and the beds are comfortable. Bathrooms kept clean with plenty of towels provide the opportunity to freshen up after walking around the beautiful city. GREAT availability of shops and pubs. The nearest restaurant is literally around the corner. The place is surprisingly quiet, although located in the center. Perfect contact with Romalda – owner apartments.
  
  What could be improved: It would certainly be better if the apartment was not so dark, especially in the bedroom next to the large bathroom – maybe a mirror system would ensure comfort because there is plenty of sun above the roof. Unfortunately, it was undergoing renovation, so the noise was quite annoying, but it's not the apartment's fault.

• Great – Annija from Latvia – 14 November 2024 (10/10)

  Great apartament, there is everything you need for stay. Clean and big rooms. And great location. Nice host! Recommend this apartment!

• Superb – Angela from United Kingdom – 15 August 2024 (9/10)

  Great location. Many nearby bars and close to the Colloseum. Great restaurant recommendations on arrival. Great air conditioning 👌
  
  What could be improved: Lack of a fan in one of the bedrooms.

• Perfect apartment when visiting Rome – Madeline from Australia – 28 August 2023 (10/10)

  Great location and the apartment was so spacious. We had a wonderful stay!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing! It’s was great.

• Excellent apartment with spacious rooms and perfect location for a very comfortable and memorable stay in Rome. – Swati from United States – 27 August 2023 (10/10)

  The apartment was excellent! the rooms were big and very clean. There was even a piano in the living room! The location was absolutely excellent! walking distance from all the major attractions. But also located in a very quiet neighborhood, I absolutely loved listening to the bird’s singing every morning. The staff was very responsive, our flight arrived in the morning but we were able to leave our luggage in the apartment around 11. I would definitely recommend this apartment and would stay here again!
  
  What could be improved: Stairs are narrow, so if anyone has large luggage it may be a concern. We had smaller luggage so we didn’t have too much trouble.

• Excellent Stay, host communicate well. – Indah from United States – 17 July 2023 (10/10)

  Clean, Spacious, Comfortable, good location
  
  What could be improved: The stairs to tye unit is too small if you bring large suitcase. Can't keep lugagge after check out, ended up paying another €50 for a couple hours. City Tax needs to be paid in cash. No washing machine.

• Exceptional – Lisa from United States – 1 July 2023 (10/10)

  We just returned from our stay at Colosseo House and we cannot stop raving to our friends and family about our experience! The staff at Premium Suites Collection went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. They were extremely accommodating to us from beginning to end. Any time I had a question or needed assistance with something, they responded immediately and were so helpful to us. The apartment was beautiful, spacious and so comfortable for us. The location was amazing…SO convenient to everywhere we wanted to be and we couldn't have been happier to find this gem of an apartment! I will recommend this company and property to anyone I know visiting Rome!
  
  What could be improved: One thing to note is that the apartment is on the second floor and there is no elevator. We knew this when we booked and it was only inconvenient when we first arrived and had to take our luggage up the stairs.
