Suite Dacia Colosseum

Same address as Suite Marzia, same second floor with lift, but a character all of its own: light comes in from morning to evening and the layout is designed so four people can share without treading on each other.

Two genuine bedrooms — not a sofa bed passed off as a room — a full bathroom, and a kitchen you can actually cook in. The natural choice for two couples travelling together, or a family who want the centre without the hotel price.

The Esquilino is one of those districts Romans know and visitors discover late: the Colosseum is a stroll away, yet downstairs there is still a greengrocer and a bar where they call you by name after two days.

Two metro lines within walking distance — Colosseo on line B, Manzoni on line A — and Termini station about twenty minutes on foot, suitcase and all.
