About
The Roman Empire Guesthouse
The Roman Empire Guesthouse sits on Via Cavour in Rione Monti, a district that mixes bohemian cafes with classical Roman sights. The location is a strong point: reviewers mention being close to the Metro, with the Colosseum and Piazza Venezia within a 10–15 minute walk.
Inside, rooms are described as new-fashioned, neat and comfortable, with several guests singling out the bathrooms. The guesthouse offers a paid airport shuttle, bike rental, and a range of practical amenities like air conditioning, a mini-bar, and tea and coffee facilities.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Walkable to the big sights — Guests consistently praise the location, noting the Colosseum is a 10–15 minute walk and the Metro is right outside.
- High marks for comfort and service — Rooms score 9.2 and staff 9.3 in the guest ratings, with reviews calling out comfortable beds and clean, modern bathrooms.
- Practical extras — Paid airport shuttle, bike rental, and a 24-hour check-in window starting at 14:00 make arrival and getting around easy.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- WiFi can be frustrating — One review explicitly says the WiFi was 'terrible' and led to loading screens, so don't expect high-speed internet for heavy use.
- No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so if you arrive by car you'll need to find public parking or rely on the shuttle.
- Check-out is early — Check-out starts at 01:00 and ends at 10:00, so plan your last morning accordingly if you like a slow start.
