My wife and I had a great holiday at this hotel. The owner and staff were very friendly once we had made the initial effort to chat to them. Nothing was a trouble for them. The hotel is wonderfully placed to visit the Colosseum, Forum, Palatine and the Metro Station. Great small restaurants in the adjacent streets and small supermarkets should you wish to get wine or beer to consume in the hotel room. The showers are small but no different to other places we have stayed in around Europe. Breakfast is taken inside a courtyard marquee. Great place which I would recommend and would return to.

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.
