About

Colosseum Palace Star - Rome

Colosseum Palace Star sits on Via Del Monte Oppio, a short walk from the Colosseum and the Cavour metro station.

Guests consistently praise the location and the warm, personal service, especially from staff member Federica.

The hotel is intimate in scale, offering a range of double rooms that vary by view—some look over a garden, others over the Colosseum.
