Irooms Forum & Colosseum

In terms of value for money it may be the best option in the area. Just do not expect super luxury and hi-tech. These are small, nice and a bit shabby rooms to have a sleep between your walks around the Rome. Position - super close to all major transportation and places of interest. Several shops, good restaurants and diners with takeaway option are in the area. Very friendly personnel - the man that was cooking the breakfast was incredibly helpful and polite. All my e-mails were replied in a timely and polite manner. Dining area is a cosy common space, where you can sit at any time, make some tea for you (kettle-some tea/sugar are in place), read the book or just quietly chat (you'll be heard pretty well at tall adjacent rooms). Breakfast is very good. It cooked right in front of you at by a gentlemen from the personnel, so, you always can ask him for some extra additions or exclusions, if you're vegan or allergic to anything. There is a paid parking at the area that you may pre-order. It is possible to park your car for a day or two at on of the streets around hotel, but keep in mind that the place is inside ZTL - you can enter it without having a huge fine only on weekends. Otherwise - arrange the paid parking that hotel offers - they will sort out ZTL entry. The building entry and the pathway to the hotel itself are very easy to find using given instructions from the hotel.

Rooms are much smaller than it looks at the pictures. You will have huge bathroom and not much space to sit together. However, there's a very spacious kitchen/hall room with chairs, sofa, tables - tree steps (literally) from you room door. Some basic things are missing at the room. For instance - no bottle opener. Not at the room, neither at the kitchen/hall. May have been provided by personnel, but there were nobody there at the time we checked in (evening). Had to improvise to open the bottle of vine :) Keep in mind, that those I-rooms are located at the small one-store pavilion in the middle of the courtyard of a big building. Do not expect any view from your room. The problem is that all the outer walls at the rooms are in fact windows. That gives you zero protection from any sound made by any person walking and talking near the building. It is fine in 90% of cases, but early in the morning, when some kids are running around, or some adults are talking loudly, you hear it as if it's happening in the middle of your room - may be annoying.

Staff was nice.

There was a lot of noise from the street and other rooms. Room was little bit dirty.

Slap bang in Monti the location was terrific for public transport and walking to everywhere you need. The restaurants, bars and cafes were probably the best we had in our trip The beds were comfortable. Good water pressure on the shower in iSpa room only (iTube standard room please see negatives....)

Booked the iSuite via booking.com, the host gave the room I paid for to somebody else, although kindly offered us one night at the iSpa and the iTube room after, the last nights stay I didn’t sleep a wink due to the front door slamming in the iTube standard room, you can also hear the kitchen in the morning. Don’t know why he didn’t just move the guests who took my room as I was angry the whole time I paid for somebody else to stay in MY room but as I was on holiday I didn’t want to faff to find somewhere else. No slippers, no dressing gowns Towels kept on pilling up so you had starchy scratchy bits left on skin after bathing iSpa shower water pressure was brilliant, iTube standard room the waterfall shower was barely a trickle of water, had to use the jacuzzi shower attachment to bathe instead More like a glamorised B&B rather than a hotel Cleanliness is superficial, especially in the iTube room there was still faeces and urine marks on the toilet bowls, attention to detail like missing lightbulbs on fixtures should be looked at. The bed linen is not designer. The iRooms here is in the middle of a courtyard in an existing estate, so we had to ask the porter next to the music college where it was, there’s no signs anywhere outside the building so perhaps they should, for people where it is their first time in Rome. Especially the iTube room - you need soundproofing! I said I was uncomfortable taking that room because of the front door slamming and the kitchen noises, was told I won’t be able to hear anything, turns out I was right and you could hear EVERYTHING. Woke up to the front door banging and cats fighting and other sorts in the courtyard at 4AM in the morning, and other times in the evening as the front door is the main entrance to all the other rooms. Found it really bizarre the kitchen and seating area was huge, no one really used it - instead they should’ve made the rooms bigger expanding that than a random open space
