I had a mixed experience during my stay at I Love Colosseo. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the Colosseum and close to the metro, which made exploring the city so easy. However, the service left much to be desired. I felt like I was on my own a lot, with limited support when I arrived. Comfort-wise, the room was nice enough but lacked some essential features. Overall, it was a convenient spot, but improvements in service and facilities would make a big difference.

I had a mixed experience at I Love Colosseo. The location was fantastic—just a short 2-3 minute walk to the Colosseum and close to the metro. However, the noise from the neighborhood made it hard to get a good night's sleep, and the bed wasn't the comfiest. Overall, it’s decent for a short stay, especially for sightseeing! 🏛️🌙
