I really want to like this hotel because the staff are really helpful and great, the surrounding neighborhood is an eclectic mix of local romano shops and other more ethnic restaurants, and it's nice and quiet. The room was big for roman standards and clean and very well maintained. Note, this might be an isolated incident, but our room had a heater problem. The hot water works fine during the day, but probably because of the increased usage at night, the water was hot for a few minutes and became cold. Also, the blackout shades were old, and missing several rungs, hence defeating it's purpose. Otherwise, I would recommend this hotel.

Capitolium is in an excellent location! Walk out your door early morning and there is a street bazaar every day but Sun. It's close to the Metro and buses as well.
Our room was clean and the hotel is very European! The staff was very helpful and we would definitely return.

The hotel is approximately 10 minutes walk from Roma Termini. I had a room facing the back garden which was very nice and quiet. The rooms were very well kept and offered spacious room for Italian standards. The room was clean and I found the soft, red carpet very comfortable to walk on. The queen bed was essentially two twins combined together. I had no trouble sleeping soundly. The mini bar offered reasonable priced drinks but you can easily walk down the street on Via Montebello for a light snake or drink. This was my first time to Roma. I had a late train from Napoli and arrive at Roma Termini at 12 midnight. To my surprise, Rome is very safe to walk even at midnight…unlike Napoli.

Now for the negative aspects of my review. If you’re traveling with many or large luggage, it will be a total workout. The steps are not bad, but getting you and your luggage inside the dinky elevator required a lot of patience and strength if you had large luggage…and perhaps multiple attempts. The reception is open 7am (or 8am) to 10pm. When I arrived at the hotel at midnight, the owner of the hotel had to buzz me in. There were no bell men or service after the closing hour. I had to catch a train at 6:45am and I just left the key at the front desk.

If you’re a light traveler this is a great hotel for you.

Crisp, clean room. Close to metro. Morning market a block away. Very enjoyable place to stay.
