Hotel Capo d'Africa

Day staff was very helpful...hotel in a quiet location close to the Colosseo, lots of well priced restaurants in the area. Room was large and clean (Rm 308- Deluxe Double). If you stuck your head out the window you could see the Colosseo! Good bathroom amenities- robes, shampoo/conditioner/body lotion/loofah/slippers/soap. Air conditioning was excellent. Bed and pillows were firm and comfortable. Internet available through the TV for a good price- we paid 6 Euros for the whole week. Breakfast was of great quality and value.

Noise (chairs moving) was minimal from the breakfast room upstairs, but things like this do not bother us. English TV channel selection was 3 channels (SKY, CNN and MTV), the hotel should consider offering a better selection of basic channels instead of pushing the 29 Euro entertainment package.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rome. The Hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from the Colosseum and the metro, there is also a network of buses nearby. Any closer to the Colosseum and you would be affected by the crowds, the location is ideal. Breakfast is served on the roof top and the buffet breakfast is more than sufficient. The room was cleaned 2 or 3 times a day and was always cleaned properly. The rooms are air conditioned, but we turned it off and just opened the windows. The concierge’s at the hotel are excellent, very professional and welcoming, especially Mario. The clientele is a mix of Tourists and Businessmen. The concierge recommended a restaurant called Camparone in Trastervere. It was excellent, traditional Italian, reasonable price and excellent food. I’d recommend it to anyone. It’s full of local Italians which is also a glowing recommendation. If you want a top class restaurant with an incredible view of St Peters Basilica go to Les Etoilles restaurant on the top floor of Atlante Hotels. The hotel looks shabby but the restaurant is very stylish. Email them a few weeks before your visit and ask for a table with a view. You won’t be disappointed. Be prepared to spend though. There is a shuttle bus which costs €15 each, it’s €4 more expensive than the train from Fumicini airport but it’s worth it as it drops you at the door of your hotel.

The locator on their website and on booking.com directs you to the wrong location. The hotel is actually on a road called Capo D'Africa. Although the locator is wrong it is still the same distance from a metro stop and from the Coloseum so i wouldn't be put off by it. If we hadn't asked for directions in the airport we would've been wandering the streets for ages.

The location and convenience to the sites of Rome. The staff was very helpful.

Breakfast on roof terrace was delicious. Great location.

Air conditioning not working properly. Brought it to staff attention, nothing done about it. Heat in Rome was unbearable that night and very uncomfortable.

Liked the breakfast and the staff. The hotel was very clean.

Multi-lingual staff was very helpful & friendly. Location in Rome was superb-near to many sites, but quiet street. Roof top patio was beautiful-birds chirping & fragrant jasmine. Highly recommend!

Front desk staff very helpful and pleasant. Good location for getting around Rome and quieter than other central locations. You can find pleasant restaurants where local people would be eating.

The hotel staff were very welcoming and gave us a city map to help plan our stay. Well located for tourist things to do in Rome. Would make a return visit to the Hotel. A really friendly hotel in the most wonderful city.

Beds a little hard, and although breakfast was fine it was a bit unexciting!!

The hotel keeps high standards in all categories of 4* hotel. The staff is very attentive and very efficient. Its location is good.

Location near the Colosseum and kindness of the staff. Very nice breakfast. All the comfort needed.

The hotel was extremely well kept and the staff were very friendly. We particularly enjoyed having breakfast out on the terrace in the sunshine. We would probably stay across the river nearer to most of the bars and restaurants if we went again, although we cannot fault the hotel and it had good access to most of the main sites. The colesseum is just down the road!

I really enjoyed the location, the comfort and the very friendly and accomadating staff. Fantastic!!!!!!

Saying goodbye!!!!!

The staff were very friendly and the hotel was in a convenient and quiet position.
