Appartamenti MarcoAurelio49

We visited Rome for the first time in July 2023. We are a family with kids 12 and 15 years old. So what we needed was a family room capable of housing us all comfortably. Looking at different options finally found MarcoAurelio49. Although not a hotel they still offer breakfast and have reception which is open until 11pm. Also the location intrigued us, just 5 mins walk from the Colosseum. First, arriving; looked into Leonardo express from Fiumicino, that would’ve cost us 40 Euros plus you probably need a taxi from Termini or you need to take Metro and walk some with all the luggage. MarcoAurelio49 can arrange you a taxi from airport for an affordable price (either a sedan or van). Van was best for us because of our luggage and it was only 75 Euros, to front door of the apartment building (you pay to the driver, reserve cash for this). The staff is young and they speak good English. They give you a helpful map of the area, explain the public transport of Rome, point the main tourist attractions and can recommend you restaurants. Our room was at the top floor, great space, and had a big balcony with nice views. The bathroom has a hand shower next to toilet (no bidet) which suited us because as Finns we are used to that. Note that the apartment doesn’t have liquid soap or shower gel but there is a 24/7 store not far where you can buy those (and what ever you need). The breakfast is ordered using a web form the day before. It is very basic, but includes coffee pods (for the machine, there is also tea in the room), packaged ready toasted bread (this was a bit strange to us, the room has a toaster so buy toast from the store if you wish to toast bread yourself), fresh croissants, cereals and juice boxes. You get the breakfast bag yourself from the reception each morning. You can ask for cleaning, emptying the trash cans or change of linens if you need them. There is a kitchen with all the pans etc. if you wish to cook yourself (we didn’t). Kettle to boil water and microwave are also there. When we visited it was really hot every day, well over 30 degrees celsius, actually closer to 40 (35-37) so it was an excellent test for the AC in the room. Happy to tell you it worked like a charm. The room was nice and cool (you can control the AC with a remote) and it was like an oasis for us after long hot days seeing the sights. Also makes sleeping comfortable. The location of this apartment is very good. Colosseum 5 minute walk away. Also the Colosseo metro station from where you can travel to other destinations like closer to Vatican etc. We recommend you walk to the other side of the river and explore there the Trastevere area. Bocca Della Verita is also towards the river and not terribly far away. Then some negatives, that prevented us giving 5 out of 5 stars. The beds are pretty hard, at least too hard for our tastes. Second, the shower had sometimes a little trouble giving warm water. One night my wife couldn’t take a shower because there was only cold wat

We (2 adults, 1 kid)book the Apartment and were a bit afraid about the rooms. And then we were really nice and lovely suprised by this stylish Apartment with good interior. Big bedroom with enough Space and a big bed. The Kitchen is filled with all required Equipment and good brands (SMEG). The Service Personal at the Lobby was really lovely, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was enough, Not the typical breakfast Like in a Hotel But its usual for italy just a crossaint and Espresso for breakfast. At last the Location of the Apartment is really good, few minutes walk to the colloseum and free parking in the road. In the surrounding Are as well Restaurants, grocerie store and bars. Honestly i can prefer to everybody to Book a room here, you won‘t regret. If we Travel again to rome we will Book again here 😇 Gracie

I picked the place for the decor and it didn't disappoint. (Think art student apartment.) And the staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was nice , the laundry service was excellent. The location was convenient for the major sites and mass transit , while still on a quiet side street . There were lots of cafes etc. in the neighborhood, as well as a 24 hour grocery store. Good value.

Very close to colosseum in quiet street. Friendly staff. Yummy fresh croissants for breakfast. Comfortable beds, good kitchen appliances. Good black out blinds and curtains. Cozy interior with unique colour scheme and decorations.

Very nice hotel. Clean rooms, very helpful staff and owners. Highly recommended. They would even give you a map and show you all the places, how to use the metro and busses and where to be careful and all. Excellent experience we had as a family.

The room was horrible. Very small with dark and red colours on wall and only 1,5 small Windows. A lot of noise from the neigbours and the breakfast was not very tasteful. The réception was ok and the room proper. They were not able to provide me an invoice despide my 4 Days journey. Good localisation anyway. I no do not recommand at all

This a real gem. Great room with its own individual style we stayed in the Hiroshige sweet. It was very clean and had a fresh feel. Good quality Smeg appliances, the only thing that let it down slightly was the shower wasn't very strong. But the apartment was great and the staff are extremely helpful and pleasant.

Liked · Decent size apartment, good bathroom, excellent kitchen facilities. Staff were super helpful. Lift worked fine. Free washing was an excellent bonus which we used twice, same day turnaround! Free breakfast also a nice addition - selection of croissants, juice and cereal you could choose on a daily basis and pick up from 08:00 from reception and have in your apartment. 5 minutes walk to the Colosseum and we walked everywhere else as well (about 50 mins to the Vatican which is the other side of Rome city centre). Colosseum B metro and plenty of buses there folks that don't want to do it all on foot. Cot supplied as requested and also a high chair when we asked. No problem leaving luggage in storage on the last day. Great area for local restaurants - no need to travel further afield for food! Disliked · Our initial apartment the aircon/heating didn't work and there was a strong smell of incense. Didn't unpack and after a bit of negotiation we were switched to a different apartment. It's an old building with a lot of apartments so glitches are bound to happen. Not a huge amount of natural light, but plenty of lights in the apartment. The second bedroom was partitioned off rather than being a fully separate room.
