Great location. View of the Colosseum along with breakfast in the morning. Close to a Metro stop, making it easy to get to most of the other major attractions in Rome. Extremely close to the church of San Clemente, which is a MUST see. Excellent service, particularly the breakfast staff. Large rooms and bathrooms. Internet access available in the room was very convenient.

Hotel Capo d'Africa is very well kept and in a decent location. The Hotel is very close (4 blocks) from the Colosseum, but very much hidden off in the back streets (somewhat hard to find). Upon arrival we found the reception of the staff to be quite welcoming, but that was not the experience throughout the stay. Some reception staff treated us more like a transaction rather than a guest. The breakfast was good and the staff in the dining area were very friendly. The housekeeping personnel were great. The most striking (disappointment) was the poor consistency in water temperature. The shower was never hot, usually cold or luke-warm, sometimes scolding hot, but always fluctuating. This seemed unacceptable for the price and overshadowed the qualities of other amenities.

A truly excellent hotel with a very friendly, attentive staff, beautiful accomodations and close proximity to key ancient Roman artifacts. The breakfast buffet was very extensive for a European Hotel, including everything that I would expect. The neighborhood around the hotel has several nice local restaurants, as well as several places to get gelato - which turned out to really be a great thing about Italy. Also very convenient to buses and the metro, in order to get around the city.

Leaving the hotel, I've asked to print a document from the Internet (the boarding pass for my return flight): they told me that was a problem and to use an Internet point, walking distance from the hotel. 600 and plus euros, and I can't print a page?!

This was our first visit to Rome. We chose the Capo d'Africa because it scored high on the Venere ratings. It did not disappoint. The staff were very happy to recomend local resturaunts which were excellent, and they were very helpful in every way. The breakfast service and location, on the terrace, was superb. The hotel is in a very quiet street, but really handy for getting about. The barman was great, he absolutley loved himself. Rome is a fantastic city, stay at the Capo d'Africa and you wont be disappointed. Two very small points to notr, there are no tea or coffee making facilities, and there are only 2 English speaking channels on TV Sky News and CNN.(with out paying extra)

Very nice hotel with great grounds and great staff. However for the price would stay at another hotel next time. The bathrooms were nice but small. Left the room at 8am and got back at 4pm and the room still hadn't been cleaned yet. The rooms are very minimalistic and there is only one computer for guests to use. Breakfast is probably one of the best in Italy.

The hotel staff could not have been more friendly and helpful - certainly rates with the best hotels that i have stayed in. Offers excellent value for money & a great base for ancient Rome. My only criticism is that the gym was small & due to private training taking place (the times of which we were unaware of) you felt obliged to come off equipment before you were ready to - if we had known the times in advance we could have planned accordingly.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in January 2007 to celebrate our 50th birthdays. We travelled with Ryanair and booked the Terravision coach(14 euros return each) from Ciampino to the Termini and then got the Metro to the Colisseum( only 2 stops on the blue line).The hotel was a 10 minute walk away. The Reception staff were very welcoming and we were taken to our room and had all of the facilities explained by another cheerful member of staff. We found the room to be excellent in terms of cleanliness and comfort with complimentary bathrobes and slippers being provided. My only complaint about the room would be the lack of tea/coffee making facilities although there was a minibar available but at a cost. The breakfasts were continental with everything fresh and a great selection of food. We ate locally for the 4 nights we were there and found a very pleasant restaurant recommended by the hotel which was just a round the corner called La Naumarchie where you could get a fillet steak for 17 euros. We also found a wine bar close by in Via Ostilia called Divin Ostilia Wine Bar which had a really relaxed atmosphere and a wide and varied selection of wines starting from 16 euros upwards and the staff there were really friendly and knowledgable. All in all a great experience.

Ideal. But As long as you stay in central ROME everything is pretty much close by. Some Hotel staff are good and some are not bad. Overall, the service can be a little bit more professional.

Great location about 3 blocks from the Colisseum, Forum and Metro stop. Our room was very large by Rome or American standards & quiet enough that we slept with balcony door open. Rooms and public area were extremely clean. Staff was very helpful, friendly, competent and professional. Can't say enough good things about the staff! Breakfast was included and very good-extra coffee given willingly upon request. Rooftop breakfast terrace would be great in other seasons. Hotel had a very quiet lobby bar that we did not use, but lady bartender was very friendly. A small pizza bar (Tree People?} located about 1 block away, frequented by locals has large selection of cold draft beers, made to request pizza, American music and friendly locals/staff was a fun spot for my 22 yr old daughter and me after a day of sightseeing. Numerous restaurants located in general area. I'd definitely stay at Capo d'Africa again.
