Well where can i start with the Capo d'africa hotel? It is lovely and a great choice of hotel so I'll start with the basics and work my way along!

I booked this hotel quite a while before actually staying so not sure if any last minutes deals may be a lot cheaper but after checking numerous prices i booked directly with the hotel and paid £320 for 2 nights for 2 people which included buffet breakfast. This was for a standard room type at the hotel.

The Room:
The room itself as I mentioned was a standard room type so it wasn't huge, however, it did have a decent sized double bed which was ever so comfy, a tv with satellite and wireless internet which could be connected to your own laptop or through the tv, a small minibar, a good sized bathroom with a tub that had a shower over, a toilet and a range of toiletries provided such a loofers, shower gel etc and a good sized wardrobe. The hotel also provides guests with bathrobes and slippers which you can purchase to take away. The room is decorated simply with cream walls with a few art pieces on and the bedspread was a lemon and beige checked type. The bathroom was marble and the wardrobes were heavy duty. Overall the room looked like modern and worth the money.
If you are looking for a bit more luxury the hotel has a studio suite that has it's own private terrace. Overall there are 64 rooms.

Food:
We had breakfast included in our cost which was down as buffet breakfast - to me I always think of buffet breakfast as hot and cold food but, this is not the case in this hotel - it consists of a cold selection of bread, cheeses, cereals, pastries etc. Unlimited drinks are also included from a variety of juices and hot beverages. The service in the breakfast room is excellent and is to be expected for the standard of hotel. The room it is served in is just to your left as you come out of the lift and as you enter you can see the room is pretty small but, there is also two outside seating areas one on either side of the room. The areas have nice large [plants pots and there are nice get lots of the sun shining on them - these would be excellent in the summer but as it was October, the weather wasn't the warmest first thing in the morning despite the sun shining!
The room is decorated very in line with the rest of the hotel with cutlery laid out nicely and very stylish linen orange table cloths. As soon as you enter the room, the staff are greeting you with a smile -they always asked straight away if you would like a drink and then moments after you are seated they bring it over for you. The staff are polite and friendly. The uniforms are lovely and modern too in a beige colour with black. The food was always tasty and fresh.
We never ordered room service but from looking at the menu provided, you could choose from a range of hot meals and price wise for the standard of the hotel these prices weren't too bad at all.

Overall opinion:
From the moment we arrived at this hotel to the moment we left, it felt like the stay was for a special occasion - the staff were attentive and professional, whilst at the same time friendly and helpful in every way. We didn't really need their services for much except for checking in and out really and of course during breakfast but, I felt if at any time I'd needed more from them this would have been no effort at all.
The hotel is modern and comfortable and is quiet too so perfect to escape the hustle and bustle of the daytime. The hotel feels more expensive than it is and location wise it is right on the Colosseum's doorstep.
For those who want to be closer to the other sights, such as the Trevi fountain or the Spanish step then yes, you'd be better off in a different hotel but, if I'm honest we saw all these sights in one day and we walked to all of them so really we had the best of both worlds - quiet hotel location (it's down a side street from the Colosseum) but easily able to get to the sights of Rome.
The hotel can be booked directly through their own website which is:

It is always worth checking out their website as prices are given in euros so if the exchange rate is good at the time you may get a good deal - plus they do special rates for certain occasions such as Valentines night when a room is only approx 180 euros for two including breakfast in bed. However if you prefer, there are numerous uk tour operators that sell this hotel.
