I can't say enough nice things about the Arena House. The hotel was recommended to me by a friend who stayed in Italy a few years ago. We loved the location (2 blocks from the Coloseum!) and Vincent and Barbara were extremely helpful as well as Chiara that worked in the evenings. I was traveling with my partner, mother in... more

The Good - Friendliness of owners, Very helpful on the advice we were given. Location was excellent, easy to find and close to the Colosseum. Room was clean. The Notso Good - Depending on what you are looking for, we were expecting more of a 3star hotel rather than guest house, the room we were given was very small and... more

The Arena House is a hidden treasure. The rooms may be simple in decoration, but they are clean and have everything that you could need. This includes air conditioning, a computer with free internet in each room, a refrigerator, tv, modern bathroom and a very comfortable bed. On arrival, the staff, Vincent, Barbara and Chiara greeted us warmly. Vincent offered... more

Arena Hotel was a joy to stay in. It was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. I was little dubious of staying in a European B&B at first as I am used to good hotels but I loved it. The room is on the small side, but then your in Rome, why would you want to spend your time... more

Stayed for 4 nights in early June. What we love the best is how close it is to the Colosseum - each day we would pass and see the majestic Colosseum. You get off at the Colosseo Metro Station and the Arena Guest House is within a short 8-10 minute. The cobbled pavement makes it a bit hard to lug... more

We stayed at the Arena House for 5 nights while in Rome. When we first walked into the check-in area, Vincent and his wife greeted us like we were family! They provided the best juice and coupons to get breakfast at a couple bars just around the corner as well as a map with good restaurants and key metro/bus stops... more

I agree with everyone who has commended the staff of this B&B. From the moment we arrived until we left they were wonderful to us. Vincent, his wife, and the young lady who checked us in (sorry I do not remember her name) were lovely. The B&B is in a convenient location and there are some great restaurants nearby. Unfortunately... more

We stayed 2 nights in this Guest House (Euro 120.00 per night), after spending 2 nights at the Hotel Filippo by the Termini Station (Euro 99.00, a great option if you are on a tight budget). The most memorable thing about our stay at Arena was the warm and very friendly hosts. They were always willing to help and offer... more

We arrived in Rome after a week long trip in France for a short two day excursion in Rome. We took the bus to the metro and then the metro to the hotel. The metro is about a mile from the hotel with unforgiving sidewalks if you are halling a bunch of luggage with you. (I might suggest getting a... more
