I'm a morning person, so having breakfast and espresso with a
beautiful clear view of the Roman Colosseum was spectacular.
Later we took the tour and it was awesome. With a short taxi ride you can be anywhere within all the major sights of Rome in minutes.
The hotel is a comfortable size, not so large that you get lost. The room was clean and fairly spacious. We had an excellent view of the park next-door.

The management spoke English so it helped when we had questions. They did not exchange US Dollars to Euros but they did tell us where it could be done, only a 5 minute walk around the block.

The night traffic was pretty intense so I used ear plugs most of the nights when the windows were open.

I spent months trawling the web for a special location for my Mother's 70th. I had a budget to stick to and the friendly staff returning my emails were honest and helpful. In the end I went for the prestige package, well worth it for the limo transfer and upgraded room. Very spacious, with a double and single and although we didn't have a view of the colosseum (which staff warned me about prior to booking) we looked straight into the Domus Aurea. Fantastic! Despite being a relatively small hotel the breakfast was on a very grand scale, spectacular. This was served on the top of the hotel next to the roof terrace with spectacular views of the Colosseum. A great place to sip cocktails (prepare to pay around £16 for one).
We walked to all the attractions, bearing in mind my Mum was70, and that includes the vatican.
Great location, great hotel, great decor, great lift! And great staff who personalised our whole experience.

This hotel is amazing, the location is astounding. Waking up to see the colliseum was the best start of the day and to make it better, breakfast is served on the rooftop for an even better view. What really makes the hotel a 5 star hotel is the staff. The front desk supervisor was wonderful, Milly was the one present for most of my stay and I must say she made the stay even better. Every request made was fulfilled and the entire staff really makes you feel like royalty. Towels would be changed immediately after use or as you leave, weather reports for the next day and chocolates on your pillow, while just little things make you feel special.
The only things that people should remember before booking are that you are paying for this 5 star treatment, it is quite expensive both for the room and for food. While the price of the room cannot be helped, food is easily accessed in the streets next to the hotel for far less. The next thing is that if you are booking the penthouse, it is not at the actual hotel. I was actually quite lucky because I booked the penthouse but it was unavailable and as a result they gave me an amazing complimentary upgade to the best suite the actual hotel had to offer. I loved it!!!
The bed was probably the best I have ever slept on in my life and the pillow menu (six are given per bed, with options for other types) guarantee a great night sleep. The marble bathrooms and bathtub staring at the colliseum made it feel even more regal.
All in all it was the best hotel I have ever stayed in and I look forward to staying there again.

Very nice and pleasant hotel situated just in front of Roma Colosseum. Beautiful rooms with windows directed to old Roma city or park. It's easy to get to Forums, few steps to Colosseum, 200 meters to Metro.
There are some good restaurants in the region behind Gladiatory hotel and it was easy to make reservation with kind help of reception. It is not so necessary as every pizzeria and restaurant usually has free places (in November :) though someone on reception can give you wise advice.
It was surprise for us to find suddenly very good wine-tasting shop
just close to the hotel. But it was our last evening in Rome :( Shop is situated on the cross of Via Capo del Africa and Via Ostilia. Wines a sorted there by Italian provinces and it is possible to try a lot of them and/or buy it.
In few words, we were glad to stay in hotel Gladiatory.
