The Inn at the Roman Forum

My husband and I recently had a little honeymoon stay in the beautiful garden room of this historic hotel. The garden view was just stunning and we had so much fun taking pictures there. Plus there was also two cute little cats that were absolutely adorable! The breakfast was delicious, and made fresh to order! All the staff there were so wonderful and so pleasant and Ian in particular was just amazing! He helped us with our bags, was friendly and kind, we also had wonderful conversation and he made us feel right at home and we were really glad to have met him! We really appreciate everyone for their service and we want to say thank you to all for such a lovely stay! :)

What a fabulous hotel so very near to the colosseum and the Roman Forum. A particular feature of this hotel is the Roman ruins inside the hotel!|The room was very comfortable and the bedding a delight. The staff were amazing and very helpful throughout our stay and made sure of a taxi for the journey to the station. |Breakfast was a-la-carte (and delicious) with great views from the rooftop. |Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was clean and quiet. The staff were friendly and welcoming. In particular, Ian was incredibly welcoming, friendly and professional. We felt his service at checkin, and rooftop cocktail hour were top notch! The breakfast was amazing, also on the roof terrace was amazing. I didn’t get the name of the service person, but she was wonderful too. We also thought the ancient ruins behind the front desk were remarkable.

Quite an experiential hotel stay. Hotel in refurbished buildings near the ruins (very close by). Lobby incorporates the ruins from earlier incarnations. Service was spot on, so very helpful with luggage assistance and offering advice. Also, the breakfast was the best offered. The whole experience - made-to-order off the menu and, the setting (SO FINE) and the terrace made it a special Roman experience.

We visited Sept 2024 and had the most amazing stay! It's located in the prettiest ally, where you don't feel like a tourist. It's small a small hotel, so the entire experience feels personal. The staff was very friendly. We had tiramisu when we checked in. The room was large and had a tiny balcony we pulled chairs up to. Breakfast was incredible. Fresh squeezed orange juice and a large cook to order menu to choose from. I recommend their French toast and scrambled eggs. The roof top terrace is so beautiful and empty. We had wine up there a couple times and it was just us. We liked the location. It's a few minutes from the coliseum. It's a 25 minute walk from the Trevi Fountain, and a lot of restaurants. There were restaurants around us but they didn't interest us. We never felt unsafe walking at night back the hotel though. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We stayed here last fall for our anniversary and we were very impressed and wanted to share! We stayed in a junior suite and we were chauffeured from the airport. Went right into a beautiful little office area and had beverages and a delicious dessert as part of the check in process. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in. Very luxurious and clearly a well run place and we knew we were about to be spoiled. Junior suite was beautiful! Gorgeous decor in every way. Roomy, so pretty and very comfortable bed. The only thing I wish was a bit nicer was the bathroom…it was definitely clean and nice but I wish it was maybe a bit updated compared to the room. This was a pretty minor detail and as I said it was definitely a nice/average clean bathroom. The breakfast staff, the made to order food and the option to enjoy our breakfast meal put on the patio were incredible. I cannot say enough about our breakfasts here. You are really doing something special with the food and service received here, we still rave about it a year later! We really want to give a special thank you to the front desk/valet staff. So kind, so helpful and the valet persons were just amazing. Thank you for making our anniversary trip so memorable and special. We have repeatedly recommended you to family and friends and we will continue to do so! Hope to return sometime! Thanks again!

Super close to all the sites, fantastic breakfast, and wonderful staff who were realiy sweet. They were so helpful when we needed help getting to some of the sites outside of the city and also when we needed to make phone calls to our car rental agency and didn’t have access to local calls. They even gave us a complimentary room upgrade to an apartment when we arrived early and the room we booked wasn’t ready. Highly recommend and would love to come back again!

We were so delightfully pleased with this small, intimate hotel, that we wanted to make sure people knew to check it out. When you arrive you are greeted and offered cucumber-flavored water and to have a seat in the ruins. You read that right. They have actual Roman ruins beneath the hotel and talk about fabulous! We were then shown to our room and we were again taken aback. The room was spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The location was impeccable. We could walk a few steps to the Roman Forum or for a little bit more of a stroll we could actually get to the coliseum in short order. In the morning, they have a lovely breakfast and even cooked selections if you wished. In the afternoon, you could sit on the outside deck and sip a fine Italian wine whilst overlooking Rome. The staff was wonderful and helpful --happily calling taxis for us, etc. I could not give this place a higher rating and truly wish we could have stayed longer.

First day here- just arrived a few hours ago and checked in. After a 10 hour flight and long delay at the airport - the cappuccino and views at this historical site are well worth the wait! Location is perfect to walk to all the big sites in Rome - Coliseum, forum, etc.. be sure to enjoy Breakfast on the 4th floor patio it is amazing! Both morning and evening Receptionists and all the staff was extremely gracious and helpful! They even set up a wonderful golf cart tour for us that was one of our trip highlights! Rooms are cozy and has a great shower and big soft towels- we stayed in 102 that had great elevator access for my 90yr old mom as well!

This hotel was in my top 3 most fav hotels of our trip. The staff was great and the history of this hotel made it even more wonderful. If you come you have to walk the tunnels. We booked through a vacation package service and didn't realize we were getting the 2 bedroom family room. OMG. We had a full kitchen, washer, living room, private patio and the whole flat (if you will) to ourselves. It was really the icing on the cake of our trip.

The Inn At The Roman Forum We had spectacular visit to Rome, staying at The Inn At The Roman Forum. The hotel (with part of The Forum onsite) and room was amazing, but it was the service that really stands out. Starting with check-in, we were helped by Sucharest (sp?) who was so kind and welcoming. He happily answered all our questions and helped us make transportation arrangements, and would not accept a tip. Our bellman also cheerfuly brought all our luggage up to our room and gave us a detailed tour of the facilities. I wish I had asked for his name, but we were exhausted from our journey. The staff at the bar/restaurant also went above and beyond. The restaurant terrace is beautiful, and has an amazing view of Rome, including an outdoor patio and a lookout perch. The first night, Ian (Ayan?) served our drinks and snacks and gave us some inside tips on where to to explore. The next day, the breakfast staff was amazing. Ayeth, Ernio, AJ and Mae took such wonderful care of us, we instantly felt like we were in a first-class resort. And the food was outstanding. This hotel was our oasis in Rome and we can't wait to go back!

Excellent service by staff. Good choice as it's near tourist sites in close enough to see everything with a bit of walking. The streets has beautiful cobblestone, must have comfortable shoes if walking. rooms are very intermittent. The staff was very helpful, kind, awesome! The Inn was a very nice stay. The daily breakfast was good with a good selection.... We really enjoyed our stay at The Inn Roman Forum

I think the right word here is boutique hotel. When you arrive there is just a seated desk where you will find the most friendly person 24/7. The welcome experience is the best of my life. Taking you in your have dessert while enjoying a 2000 year old property attached to the hotel is special. The rooms are one of a kind as we stayed in two separate due to an upgrade they had for us on our second night. Breakfast on the rooftop was made to order and a fantastic start to the day. Loved the quiet, fewer rooms means fewer people and it's walking distance to everything although in Rome you can walk lots.

Horrible hotel. Old, run down and desk managers are terrible. Many things were broken, peeling wallpaper, bathroom door would not shut all the way. Yucky is the best way to describe it.

We booked (2) rooms. The condition of both rooms were horrendous and we requested a full refund immediately. One room had a mildew infested air conditioner & the 2nd room had ants all over the bathroom. Room #1was on ground floor (101) near the reception desk. It stunk of mildew/mold. And after investigation, the air conditioner was filled with Black mold/mildew. We had immediately complained to the female receptionist upon noticing the mold/mildew. The female receptionist explained a "manager" would come in early to help resolve the issue. While waiting the 2 hours for the manager, we ate dinner and returned. That's when we met the man, who said his name was Shukri , but claimed he was only a "receptionist"? He explained there was nothing he could do. He wanted to see room#1 air conditioner. He wiped the A/C with his finger & it turned black. He did not permit us to take a picture of his blackened finger. We were going to stay together in Room #2 on the 4th floor (# 401) out of concern for our health in ground floor room. We returned to the room on the 4th floor to find ants all over the bathroom /tub. We immediately called reception again to notify. Shakuri returned. We asked to speak to the manager, but was told the managers "were sleeping" at 9:15pm ("you want me to wake them up?"). This was right after he returned to us stating he just got off the phone with the managers? Less horrendous: Keep aware of your email reservation confirmation. It states, "walk in shower". They told us numerous times they were, "fully booked" . The only (2) rooms they had available for us did not have a shower, only jacuzzi tubs with tall sides. The female receptionist said I should've "told them" that I needed a shower. I did not think I had to tell them (I have a problem with my leg), because the email confirmation (and web site) clearly says "walk-in shower". Shakuri, as a representative of the Inn at the Roman Forum was still against refunding our money, so we could go somewhere safer and cleaner. Shakuri said, "accounting is closed". My daughter had asthma & a hole in her heart - so black mold is very much a dangerous concern. I worked and sacrificed the last 3 years ,,, working 3 jobs, (during Covid) 70-75 hours a week, for this vacation,,, to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary . I choose this hotel based on TripAdvisor, Costco & Yelp reviews. This is a very disappointing , dangerous , and bug infested situation. I feel I let my family down. This is why, despite my own health issue, I was left with no choice but to limp around (roam) the streets of Rome at 11pm to try and find an available hotel. We requested an immediate refund several times verbally & via email within minutes, (as Shakuri instructed). Please pray they do the right-honorable thing. We left within 3 hours of finding the ant infested bathroom. Never even stayed (1) night. 24 hours later & they have yet to respond. This was not our 1st stay in Italy. It was our 3rd hotel and not a cheap hotel, costing $2,300+ US dollars for (4) nights. It is 2:45AM and I'm in severe physical pain from exhausting my leg and the added mental worry that the Inn took our money upfront (+ taxes). Happy Anniversary to me .

We had stayed at their sister property at the Spanish Steps during the initial part of our trip to Italy, and we decided to stay at the Roman Forum location on our return. We decided to walk here from the train station after coming back from Venice (probably should have taken a taxi), and had a hard time initially finding the hotel entrance. It is amazing, however, to look outside and see all of the ancient ruins that happen to pop up in the neighborhood. We ended up staying in a junior suite, which was spacious and modern. Prior to going to our room, we also checked out the ruins on the bottom level, which was pretty cool to see. As with their other hotel, they serve a good breakfast each morning on the roof. The Inn at the Roman Forum was nicely located for exploring the Colosseum and other sights in this part of Rome.

Unique rooms, great staff, great location! Historic old cobblestone streets hide this gem of a hotel. Really unique rooms and history and a friendly helpful staff. Walkable to most sites and near a Metro station. Our room even had a jacuzzi tub! The daily breakfast is good with a large variety and great coffee. Really enjoyed this place and its staff.

My boyfriend and I had to book a reservation last minute and thankfully this hotel had a spot. This has been one of the best experiences We've ever had and we only stayed here for one night. When we entered, the staff immediately greeted us with a smile, water, wine, and dessert. They were so unbelievably kind. Something we haven't been used to since our stay in Italy. It seems like a lot of people don't like tourists. (Not taken personally) the apartment style room we stayed in was beautiful and so comfortable. They have room service which was nice, bathrobes which I love, and breakfast Included. It was just such a pleasure staying here. Thank you so much to the staff who were so kind to us.

Such as great place to stay! I miss it already. We came before checkin time, which was fine as it gave us time to ask for recommendations (which were spot on), check out the amazing crypt and have a glass of wine... how many people can say they have done that! So fun! The room was so nice and cozy. The bed was comfy and so huge! The jacuzzi's in the bathtub was ideal after walking miles and miles. We had one of the rooms with the private garden and it was so nice, we tried to spend as much time in between sightseeing and eating there. The service was fantastic. We had a evening glass of wine on the terrace, where the view was really nice. I really enjoyed the whole experience of it.

Set in the heart of the Monti district The Inn at the Roman Forum was a spectacular find. Checking into the hotel in a secret ancient underground lobby forum was certainly a surprise and a fun way to experience ancient Rome. The homemade tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had. Rooms are small (as most Italian hotels are) but it has all the basic amenities plus lots of charm. The rooftop breakfast is a highlight. Outdoor seating under a vined canopy overlooking the city rooftops and made-to-order eggs is a nice addition to the included and expansive breakfast buffet. The location is excellent being close to the cobblestone streets of Monti, a 20 min walk from the Trevi Fountain and 20 min from the Collosseum.

We recently stayed 3 nights here. Everything was great. The staff is really helpful. They even packed a boxed breakfast for us when we had to leave early one morning. The breakfast is really good with a large variety. The happy hour at rhe outside seating area is great. The room was nice and clean. It's the staff though is what makes this hotel shine. Highly recommended.

I stayed here in a junior suite this past January. I was greeted with a drink and a treat, and waited in the section which is some ruins of the forum, which of course were pretty interesting. The staff was most gracious, including very thorough turndown service in the evening with goodies. My room was quite large, and the complimentary toiletries were high grade. My bathroom also had a jacuzzi tub, always a score. The location was great; I was able to walk to just about all of my touristy destinations. The complimentary breakfast buffet was delicious, with a very good selection variety, plus they would bring an extra sweet treat to each person. I didn't try the aperitivo buffet in the afternoon, but it did look pretty good. The terrace outside of the dining room would be a lovely place to enjoy in warmer weather. Overall, a nice small boutique hotel, and I would definitely recommend staying here when in Rome.

What a beautiful, special, fun location. Every detail has been considered and everything is better than you could have imagined. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a special place to stay.

This is a 5 star place. Room was great, the staff was amazing, they went over and above to make sure every second of our stay was as good as it could be. These people care about your stay and it shows. Great breakfast, drinks in the evening. I can't say enough about the staff. They really made our stay enjoyable.

The Inn at The Roman Forum is located in the heart of most of the top tourist destinations. Your taxi will likely drop you off down a small cobblestone hill from the entrance. The historic hotel offers spacious rooms by Roman standards and an area with thousand-year-old walls, a crypt, where one may have a glass of wine. It is like stepping back into time--and sitting in a cave-like structure. There is a lovely rooftop breakfast area with views. It was our favorite part of our four-day stay at The Inn. The service was top-notch and by day two they knew us well enough to remember our previous day order. The fourth-floor breakfast area offers both inside dining, although one eats on a sofa and it's a tad tricky for dining; and outside, regular tables on two levels. Room service was quite adequate when required. The downsides are the rooms are somewhat dark (new lighting is needed) and the front desk could be less service friendly or available at times.

Maybe my favorite hotel I've ever stayed at, anywhere. The friendliest staff you'll ever find, well appointed rooms that are spacious by Roman standards, a cool crypt you can go into and enjoy prosecco before dinner, and a rooftop terrace and garden serving up a tasty breakfast every morning. Got great recommendations from the staff every time I asked about something to do, see, or eat. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Stayed for our honeymoon 4 years ago and cannot wait to return. Seeing as there is not a Four Seasons in Rome (hint, hint) and the St. Regis is in a decidely unfavorable area, this boutique option shines through. The rooms are spacious by Roman standards and you cannot beat the short stroll to the heart of ancient Rome. Enjoy breakfast on the lovely terrace if the weather permits. Ciao!

Outstanding!!!!! Stayed here for 3 nights in June. A great little boutique hotel with gracious and hospitable service in the heart of Old Rome.

I'm shocked that there hasn't been a more recent review of this exceptional inn. Upon our arrival after a long transatlantic flight, we were greeted with refreshments and the sunniest of smiles and dispositions. While we sipped our drinks and toured the ruins which are connected via a passageway, our check in was completed. Our room was stunning. Luxurious. I've tried to upload pictures, but to no avail. You'll have to trust me. Stefano, Rosalba, Hilda and the entire staff attended to our every need. They helped with dinner reservations. They pointed us towards excellent gelato places. Il Gelatone is the place! And you have to go to Ai Tre Scalini! They even let me practice my limited Italian The breakfast offerings were vast and delicious. The cocktail reception in the evenings were a nice respite after touring all day. The inn is walking distance to the Colosseum and Palatin Hill. The Inn at the Roman Forum was my first introduction to Rome. To Italy. I will have such fond memories.

We loved this hotel. Very close to everything, great food, friendly staff. My only complaint was the room a bit warm (my husband didn't mind).
