Mercure Roma Centro Colosseo

It was good that the hotel provided the customers with two bottles of water per person on each day and also a fridge in the room.

The shower cubicle was too small and the room could have been bigger considering the price we were charged per night.

location and friendly personel

Lots of stains on the carpet, wall and sofa (where our daughter slept). Holes in the door. Fungus in the bathroom and a leaking tap which caused a lack of pressure so the swich to the shower didn't work. When insisting on a solution, after the receptionist sugestion to shower in the morning, I got acces to a 1p room to use the shower, but that one was so small my head hit the shower and I couldn't bend to wash my feet. It felt like a cheap motel in stead of a 4 star hotel.

Close to Colosseum and Roman Forum.

Staff were friendly enough, but the hotel does not live up to Mercure's reputation at all. The breakfast is not worth the 15 Euros (burnt scrambled egg, for example, is not appertising) and you can hear everything from lifts going up and down to traffic noise from the room far too clearly. Then there's the matter of the air-conditioning being switched off in October, even if the days are still very warm. Not what it is cracked up to be.

Good location. Bar on the roof with a view on Colosseo.

Terrible scent in the rooms (we were two families and have tried 3 rooms), lack of fresh air in the rooms due to the glass panels, that cover the windows. Furniture is quite old. Bath equipment is old and rather unpleasant to use. Rather hard beds.

Excellent staff, good food facilities and roof top pool lovely

Hotel room was small and carpets were quite dirty. Shower very small, we are very slim people and just got in it!!
