Staff, when present, were exceptional, but the staff not always there. Building was built in around 1100 AD! Staying in a part of history. View from the roof is amazing. Location was excellent. 10-25 minute walk to Piazza di Vittorio Emanuel, Trevi Fountain, Spanish steps, The Colosseum, Piazza Navona; only major attraction it is far from is the Vatican… that was a 40 minute walk. The room itself was large, bed was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

While the bathroom was nice it was rather small - particularly the shower. The lift to go upstairs is claustrophobic. I understand the need for both these situations… it is a historic home built tall and narrow, and all these modern conveniences are retrofit.

Loved the location, the atmosphere, and the staff. The feeling of staying in a medieval tower can’t be described. It was adorable! The bed was comfortable. The area was spacious. The bathroom was unique and had plenty of space and amenities. (No tiny shower without water pressure!) There is a delicious gelato place and market for extra waters just next door. they refilled our fridge with waters, juice, and Coke and Fanta daily, though, as well as our coffees and teas (with a hot pot and Nespresso maker). The roof has great views and a really unique spiral staircase to access it with chairs and tables, though it was too hot during the day the city lit at night was beautiful!

Nothing was bad or differed from our expectations of staying in a medieval tower. We had hiccups with the blow dryer flipping a fuse but the staff fixed it immediately. We couldn’t get the nespresso machine to work but again they addressed it immediately. They aren’t there 24/7, but they were VERY attentive to anything we needed. I didn’t expect American air conditioning so I was not bothered, but do note the AC doesn’t get super cold.

Its a great place to stay, super friendly staff, great location but I had one comment I also made to the staff and one serious concern about fire safety: - The heating could not be turned off, airco was disabled and could not be turned on, we ended up sleeping with windows open which was extremely loud and unconfortable. I mentioned this to the staff but it could not be resolved due to general heating settings etc.. - In case of fire there is absolutely no way out, maybe you'd make it to the roof but imo this is very unlikely since there are only the central stairs of the tower. There are no smoke sensors at all.

The location and the architectural originality of being in an ancient and medieval architectural building in the very art of the city!

No breakfast is served in the hotel!! I would have liked that, based on that “no breakfast is served” that at least a list of close bars, restaurants or taverns nearby is proposed for a rapid breakfast or a coffee!! Good point for the free cold drinks and Nespresso’s cups made available in the room!! Some additional snacks and biscuits would have been not bad!! For the price per night… it would be the least to expect!

Very central, quirky, amazing views from the rooftop, great service from Randy who was onsite and available almost the whole time we were there.

Could probably do with some maintenance to get back to 4* status - bath in our room couldn’t be used (so more of a feature than functional) but that wasn’t an issue, rooftop garden is an asset but could be made so much better with a bit of update (rail going around the top needs replacing). Again not a problem for us and we loved sitting up there with a drink admiring the amazing views. Minibar door not closing properly.

A unique hotel with superb staff. I couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. The room was wonderful, with wonderful features, including a four-poster bed, a large bathroom with quality products and a walk in wardrobe. The free and generous mini bar was a lovely surprise! The bed was very comfortable.

Absolutely fantastic location, great building, rooms have lots of character and fab rooftop views. It's not perfect in terms of amenities, some might argue it's due a bit of an overhaul, but it's excellent value for money and a lovely little gem of a hotel for a Rome city break.

The location was superb. It was walking distance to all the major sites/attractions that you wish to visit. There is a lot to see in Rome so you will do a lot of walking however this stay allowed you to step outside and within minutes see something historical and special. The staff are all friendly, the rooms are spacious and view from the rooftop is spectacular

Unfortunately, you never know if you will come across other travellers that have no regard for others and we did have a very noisy family stay during our stay but that did not detract from the quirky, beautiful and old building we stayed in.

It was the second stay at Torre Colonna this year as it isn’t just a lovely hotel, it’s a whole experience living in a historical building. Great sound and thermal isolation (really thick walls), amazing view from the rooftop terrace, interesting books along the staircase, a coffee machine in the room to start your day the proper way and many other small details made our stay at Torre Colonna great.

Next to our room there was a small service room used by the staff and I was bothered by the sound at the door (the soundproofing only affects the street noise, not the corridor one) when trying to nap in the noon and once when going to bed early (after 10PM), had to ask the staff to stop it because it was taking quite a while

Torre Colonna is mid way between the Coleseum and the Trevi fountain, close to the roman forum. very well priced for the location and facilities. our room had everything we needed. The staff were also great!

There are lots of stairs or you can take a small lift.
