A lovely stay here in 2005. The hotel was very unique with mosaic floors in the building and the bathroom of the room. The whole décor of the room was also very unique and lovely. It is a close walk to all the sights and the coliseum and plenty of restaurants nearby to try, although most seemed to close early or not open at all. The breakfast could have been better but was still pleasant.

Could have been a little better but glad to have stayed. Would not go again but would recommend to anyone to try once if staying in rome.

We have just returned from a week in Rome,staying in Hotel Celio.

I have to say that after booking it I checked the reviews here and I was worried about the mixed reviews that it received.
In fairness apart from the size of the room which was a bit small(But what will you get in Rome for 200 Euro a night?)If you don't tend to live out of your suitcase as I do then this won't be a problem. we found everything to be great.Roberto and the staff were friendly and helpful.They were very happy to help with any query,even as bizarre as to find a Violin shop for me.

Breakfast was a continental one and was perfect for me.They have wireless Internet which was great for my laptop and I.You had to be in at 1.00am but you could make arrangements to stay out later if you wished.

5 minutes walk from the local metro station and a reasonably priced taxi ride from the main tourist spots.

I even got my violin.
Thanks.

This has been the 6th time we have ended our trips to Italy with a stay at the Hotel Celio. As always, the staff is extremely accommodating and helpful. We have had the pleasure of seeing the hotel grow over the years and are constantly amazed at the beautiful rooms and overall appearance of the property. We will never hesitate to stay at the Celio and can not understand why others have complained about the hotel.

Just back from our 7th stay at the exquisite Hotel Celio. Roberto and his staff always make us feel very welcome, comfortable, safe, and secure. No request is ever denied and they always do their best to recommend good restaurants and things to do and see in the eternal city. The décor of the Celio never ceases to amaze me. It is tastefully decorated down to the most discriminating detail. If you travel very much across Italy, you will very much appreciate the utilization of every inch of available space in the former Roman Mansion and the fastidious renovations that have been done. The Celio is like a delicate jewel box to be appreciated for its unassuming atmosphere and its prominent location near one of the world’s most recognizable structures, the Roman Colosseum.
