The location of this property is convenient to the Colosseum and metro and several local eateries as well as a 24hr grocery store. The bed was a murphy-bed/pull-out style and had little to no padding. Additionally, the booking led us to believe a balcony would be included, which it was not. That being said, there was a full kitchenette, comfortable room in the bathroom, remote controlled AC/heat and a refrigerator. No Wifi in the hotel room either. The stay was convenient for us since we didn't spend much time in the room and out trip was quick, and overall worth the money.

Thanks Maximus
Only stayed one night as a quick pit stop while we explored Rome. I cannot explain how AMAZING the location is, right next to the colosseum, with bakeries, small shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants all within a few minutes walk. There is a taxi rank at the front of the hotel too. Room was really spacious, had a lovely balcony and was well equipped. Staff were warm and friendly. We cannot wait to return here.

My husband, daughter and I rented this apartment for our stay in Rome. The week we were there it was a heat wave so 96, 98 and 102 degrees for the 3 days we were there. It was so nice to be right across from the Colosseum. What a relief to run back home, take a cold shower and go back out. The room was comfortable and clean. Nice to have a fridge. At least 30 restaurants within walking distance. A little convenience store about 1/2 a block away. Only 2 issues, they didn't give me check in instructions, so I had to call and then there was a little bit of a language barrier, so I wasn't sure where to go. For anyone wondering. It is a huge orange building, and the big green doors are where you need to go. On the right side of the doors is an Inacom thing and press Maximus and someone will answer and let you in. Second issue (which I understand but still annoyed), they turned our AC off when we were out touring, so it was 102 out and we got back and didn't know and within a couple hours the apartment was really hot!

Nice hotel for the price but not the most clean
The hotel was slightly confusing to start off with as the reception was in a different location to our room which confused everything with our transfers. The hotel room was nice, stylish and comfy but dirty with the toilet definitely not being cleaned before we came. Alright for a couple of nights but not a long stay.

Dishes in dishwasher were half clean and the was not even plates for everyone. Told them about it but it was never corrected. I would never stay there again. The only thing good was the location.

Nice place to stay close to the Colosseo.
Stayed at Maximus for one week. It is just right accross the Colosseo. It is walking distance to stores, restaurants (some cheap and some are expensive, but mostly good) and other places of interests like the Cathedral of St John Lateran. The distance can be just a few steps away or a few blocks away. The room we stayed at has a kitchen with all kinds of supplies that you'll need. It has a washing machine too. There is a bank ATM machine owned by Banca Monte Dei Paschi Di Siena a couple of blocks away where I withdrew 100 Euro for $124. Within five minutes, I found another ATM machine owned by a different bank. Out of curiosity, I checked to see how much 100 Euro will cost me. It would charge me $128. Maximus exceeded our expectations.

Great stay close to The Colosseum!
We thought this room was so darling! It had a great big window that opened up to the streets, comfortable pull-out couch and a very clean room overall. It was in a great part of town with very friendly people and great restaurants on every street. Only issue we had was finding our room... we were given directions to our room but the main office is located elsewhere so be mindful that you're putting in the address of the office first so you can check in and get your keys!

small apartment located close to roman ruins
Apartment is really close to major attractions and a quick walk to the subway which will take you to the Vatican area. Had a nice time walking down Via de Fori Imperali in the evening with everything lit up. Apartment is very small with a tiny spiral staircase to the second floor. The kitchen had a large fridge and a washing machine. Everything we needed was there and room service came once a day.

Small room
The address is not correct. The lobby is in another building, so you have to walk to get the key and then you have to go to another building where your room is. Room was noicy. I awoke everyday by the noice of the room next to mine... you can even hear when your neighbors are washing their teeth... or doing something else.

The please was perfect
This small room/apartment was perfect for what we wanted it for sleeping not hanging out. It is in a great location next to an Irish Pub and an English bar plus 2 great coffee bars, gelato place, 5 great restaurants and a mini mark. You are far away from the tourist traps that these places won't rip your face off. 500 yards from the Colucium was awesome and served as a guide when we walked the town. The Subway drops you off so close you can go anywhere in the city or Uber anywhere you want. This place was perfect my kids, wife, and I loved it...

Good hotel and it's a block from the Coliseum.
This was a nice place. The rooms are small but your only the there to sleep. The staff kept everything tidy but no wash cloth. Lots of hand towels (maybe I was to use them as wash cloths). I would stay here again without a doubt. Check in has a different address than the rooms so just remember the office faces the Collusium and is on the second floor.

Right next to the Colosseum
To walk out of the apartment block and have the Colosseum right in front of us really made this a special place to stay. There was a good choice of restaurants just around the block, as well as a 24hr supermarket. The tram and bus stops, and Metro station were just across the road. It was a great location. The only issue was that they were clearly in the process of renovating the apartment but had not finished before we got there - so the brand new sink and electric hob unit was not actually functioning and every day we came back to find that something had been changed / added. I'm sure the refurbishment will soon be finished making it a great apartment.

Very nice staff who accommodated my late arrival, and took time to provide directions to main attractions. The manager gave me an upgraded room with a fantastic open view of the Colosseo. The room had an espresso machine, so I had my morning coffee with a view of Colosseo. The central location of this hotel is superb. There is an Osteria (a nice restaurant with authentic local cuisine and audience) just round the corner from the hotel entrance.

Nothing like the apartment shown in the photos advertised. entire apartment consists of one small room with a cooker, sink and fridge in the corner, and a toilet and shower with a partition around it. Everything is contained in the same room. Condition of room is old and run-down and neglected. There is a smell from the sink everytime the toilet is flushed that fills the small room.
