I recently visited Rome in late March of 2008. I stayed at the Hotel Gladiatori. The hotel was great; it had the perfect view of Rome. It was located just a couple hundred feet from the Colosseum and on the other side it faced a beautiful park. All of the meals were great. The breakfast was very fresh and consistent;... more

First the good news - if you want/have to be near the Colloseum, this is a good choice (although south-west and most other attractions are north-east of it). This gives a superb view, particularly from the fourth floor terrace over breakfast and at night when the Colloseum is lit up. The breakfast was very good quality, (although the tinned fruit... more

At first I was a bit weary as the price seemed pretty high but after reading reviews on here I thought that it'd be worth paying a little more to have the coliseum view from our room. After pulling up to the hotel it didn't seem to be very luxurious but when you walk through the door you can see... more

We have been home now approx 2 weeks since our stay at the Gladiatori (having subsequently visited Paris). Our stay in Rome was to celebrate a special birthday and our first time in the city. The hotel receptionist Millie was wonderful, looked after us so well. Our rooms were extremely tasteful, and romanesque! Breakfast choice excellent and staff could not... more

We stayed for 2 nights to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday. The location is excellent and the service is exceptional, nothing is too much trouble for the reception staff who are very friendly and helpful. We booked a queen deluxe room but received a free upgrade to a king deluxe. Would recommend this hotel and will hopefully return soon. more

Booked a King Superior room and was v disappointed with the size, have stayed in a lot bigger normal double rooms in other hotels. There were no robes, turn down service, or welcome evening drink as was stated on booking.Also booked city view and was facing tram line/park. Looked forward to having a drink in the bar upstairs and both... more

My wife, two kids (ages 10 & 13) and I stayed for a week in Rome; two nights in a hotel suite and four nights in the deluxe Vatican Loft. Our reservations were for the Serpenti Loft but after traveling for more than 14 hours, we arrived at the loft (via a taxi provided by the hotel), that had no... more

I was traveling through Italy with a friend. We checked in late one evening. When the night manager finally appeared about 20 minutes later, I discovered that although I booked two rooms, they tried to put us in only one. When I insisted on the two rooms, the manager adjusted and was fairly friendly. He even asked which newspapers we... more
