Hotel Celio

Let’s start with the good… Two friends traveling together. Requested two beds and they gave us one bed with more floor space which was fine. Rooms and hotel are beautifully appointed with antiques. Service was superb. Extremely friendly staff. Breakfast was exquisite. Old fashion, but stylish. I understand that it is a quaint boutique hotel, but they need to put some money into some upgrades. There was minimal ventilation in the small room, which made it very stuffy very fast. We were able to open up the window, which faced the back mechanic tent that was blowing some sort of machinery all day. But at least we got fresh air. The hair dryer was from 1950 and had duck tape holding it together…. barely blew out any air. The toilets were made for munchkins. You literally had to put 1 foot in the shower and 1 foot out in the room to be able to take care of your private parts. You also had to climb up almost a foot to get into the shower. The shower doors did not open all the way because of how tight the space was. The room is fine if you are under 5’9” and weigh less than 140 pounds. If you are taller or wider, the bathroom will be a struggle. The hotel is good for a 1-3 night stay but definitely not ant long term vacation stay. You will regret feeling claustrophobic after long days of sightseeing.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Celio with a group on business for a week. The hotel is very charming with an interesting history and rooftop terrace that has a view of the top of the Colosseum! Roberto was extremely helpful and patient with all of our touristy questions. The breakfast is awesome, now that I'm home, I miss the Italian cappuccinos. Located a few blocks from the Colosseum, restaurants galore and a 24/7 convenient store just down the street, it was the perfect location for my first visit to Rome and I will remember it forever! Grazie mille!!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. a stones throw away from the Colosseum with some rooms offering views (by way of sticking your head out the window and having a look, but still pretty cool!) Bedside charging points were available as well as free WiFi. breakfast was included in the price and whilst basic was very filling and a great start to the day. The rooms and hallways of the hotel are beautifully decorated and great care has evidently gone into this. Noise pollution from the outside was very minimal despite being in a busy area and close to restaurants. Toiletries and towels were included in the price and the room had a cool looking bath/shower combo. Would have been a nice bonus if the jacuzzi jets were functional but I taken a bath and shower during my stay and both were comfortable so not a complaint. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Considering the location, price and overall comfort of the hotel I would happily stay here again.

Perfect location, everything is at hand, calm place, cozy and clean rooms. There are beautiful decorations, wallpapers and mosaics which creates a unique and marvelous atmosphere. I believe this is good value for money. And of cause, very friendly staff and helpful owners.
