The number one selling point of this hotel is the location. As promised, it is literally a 2 minute walk from the Colosseum, making it very close to all sightseeing buses and other attractions. Vincent, Barbara, and the young girl at the front desk were always helpful and providing suggestions for food and sightseeing. They were an absolute delight!! The... more

This hotel is a great value for the price due to its location that is close to many of the desired visitor destinations in Rome, like the Colosseum and the Forum. Also good for the ease in which you can learn to navigate the transportation to other places you want to view. Our hosts were wonderful, taking time to make... more

I just returned from another 9 day trip to Italy and stayed at the Arena House for 8 nights. Vincent, Barbara and the young lady at the desk in the evening are so cordial and make one feel so comfortable that I won't think of staying anywhere else when in Rome. They are always so eager to help with advice... more

We are a family of four that just enjoyed four lovely nights at the Arena House, and we enthusiastically support the other positive reviews on this site.

Safe, secure, and with a great location, Arena Guest House was an ideal place to explore Rome. It is only a few minutes walk down the road to the Colosseum and a metro station and other public transportation. The street that Arena Guest is on couldn’t get any safer, you are right in the middle of two police stations! Even... more

We arrived in Rome and found this place without a problem because it is located right around the corner from the Coloseum. The couple who run Arena House immediately made us feel at home. Every time we asked a question, they would pull out a map and draw all sorts of walking routes for us to take. The room was... more

I was a little sceptical that Arena House would live up to such outstanding appraisals, however I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by both the service and standard of accommodation. I stayed here... more
