Mercure Roma Delta Colosseo

I can’t help but think one or more of the other reviewers are being overly dramatic…
This is a decent hotel. It’s pretty small, but conveniently located near the Colosseum and a metro station. I wanted to try authentic Italian food, so I opted out of eating the hotel food. From what I saw, the staff were very friendly. They greeted us every time we came and left. Oh, and not to mention, we got a room right away even though we checked in early.
I was surprised when I walked in and noticed that the shower is not too far from the bed (room 315). The bed is very firm. As others have mentioned, the walls are indeed pretty thin; I can hear the ambulance every night, the neighbor’s toilet flushing, and some drunken guests in the hallway one night. Which reminds me, someone tried to open our door twice that night, most likely those drunk girls that I heard. Understand, though, that those random guests shouldn’t have a direct impact on the hotel’s rating.
So basically, if you’re like us, not high maintenance and just need a good place to come back to sleep at night, then this place should be fine.

Convenient to the Coloseum. Contemporary, clean and great FREE breakfast. Downside it’s small for yall who like big rooms. I loved it. 3.9 star.

It sounds like not everyone’s stay was what they expected, but ours was exactly as anticipated. I thought for the value it was a very nice, modern, clean room and hotel. The staff we corresponded with were wonderful. We arrived in the morning, well before checkin time, and they were able to actually check us in early which was so amazing. We had an afternoon tour so it was a relief to have a room to rest a bit before we headed to the Colosseum. The proximity to the Colosseum was wonderful as well and we enjoyed walking to the Colosseum every night during our stay. When I wanted to confirm directions to the Vatican, the girl at the desk was very sweet and helpful. The staff also helped us correspond with our departing transportation to the airport, which made everything seamless.
Our stay was booked through Costco Travel so it included an appetizer at the roof bar and a cocktail. The server at the bar did not speak English (which was only weird because everywhere we went in Italy during our trip, even little souvenir kiosks, the employees all seemed to know some basic words), so we got a little lost in translation when we were ordering our comp drink and app. but it got worked out. With that said my cocktail was good, and the app had smoked salmon which is a great way to win me over :)
The breakfast was good enough, and I thought the staff were very hospitable. There were several great restaurants in walking distance, and the nightlife near Ludus Magnus looked very popular (we were too exhausted to check it all out, but I could tell people were raging over there). Overall, we were satisfied with our stay.

Hôtel très bien situé à proximité du Colisée. Les chambres sont modernes et le petit déjeuner est copieux. Il y a un arrêt de tramway et de bus juste en face. Et le petit plus … Une piscine sur le toit de l hôtel.

Suprise surprise this place only had 2.5 stars on Unilocal!Want to know why? Cause they have the WORST customer services ever!!! My husband had hit his head on the door that goes slow at first but be careful cause it goes fast when it’s about to close. No one really cared at the hotel that he split his forehead open!!! He requires stitches but guess what, they really didn’t care. Not only did that happen the next day all we wanted was 2 wine glasses to enjoy the night and MARICIO «the bar manager» refused!!! My party already spent so much money at the bar and he was so rude to us!!! Refused to give glasses to us when the night before a «girl» from our party got some. Not only that MARICO was the one who went to the room and seen what happened to my husband! you would think he would be compassionate enough to give 2 glasses to us!!! Your hotel SPLIT MY HUSBANDS HEAD OPEN!!! LEARN SOME CUSTOMER SERVICE ITALY!!! if you are think of staying here I suggest not too!!! Find a place with better service!!! We just left Paris were they hate Americans and they treated us like gold!!! Find a hotel with better Stars! I see why they do not have many stars! And MARICO needs to learn to be a «manager» if that’s what you call him!!!

Even though Located about a five minute walk away from the Colosseum, This Mercure Hotel was a great disappointment.
It backed up to a large park that housed many illicit activities. I did not feel safe walking around the hotel. While many big city hotels are able to shield their guests from their surrounding areas, this hotel made no such attempt.
–I woke up for early morning tours to find hallways darkened to save electricity.
–the window to my room had a view of a homeless man’s tent. While he was in the public park, the hotel allows the homeless to use their alleyways freely.
–this alleyway had a spiral staircase which led up to many rooms including the one I stayed in. To prevent the homeless from accessing the rooms, they were permanently locked with bars. You can still see within your room where the hotel took off the fire exit sign. Very unsafe in case of emergencies.
The hotel also has many service issues which clearly make it an Economy/​Base Hotel rather than a higher class hotel that they advertise:
–when asking for a bucket of ice, I was directed to the top floor bar and told to get it on my own. Once at the top bar, the staff said they can only give about two glasses worth
–room service consists of four entrees only, all re-​heated items from what the staff told me. They recommended that I leave the hotel for decent food.
–when arriving, we only had one towel. When I asked the hotel staff for more, a representative from the front desk came up with them, but insisted on coming in the room to see for herself that not enough towels were there.
I advise that you do not frequent this hotel.

The room, visually, was very pretty. The view was amazing. The location cannot be beat. I stayed here 12 nights.
Now let’s talk about the details. The view was as promised from the left side of the building, when standing in front facing the hotel. I was lucky enough to get a hotel room on that side with the Colosseo. There are several busses that come directly in front of the hotel every 5 – 10 minutes (during run time — not ²⁴⁄₇) that will take you every direction. You can also access the main tourist information office in front of the Colosseo and the metro station for the Colosseo within a 5 minute walk. Labicana is a very busy street, but of course one should expect this from being in the main tourist section of the city. Therefore I found that other review referencing a poor nights sleep due to traffic not helpful. The staff was nice but not all spoke enough English for me to recommend this hotel for anyone unfamiliar with preferably Italian or several years of Spanish or Latin… I should clarify this — while the staff will only understand in mostly Italian and some staff in English, you can understand the staff if you speak Spanish or Latin because Italian is similar.
The rooms have fresh paint, new/​well taken care of curtains, gorgeous fixtures such as the painting, and seem very clean. The pictures show an accurate representation. The cleaning lady comes every day. The room lacks drawers to put anything in. THE BED IS THE MOST AWFUL BED IVE EVER SLEPT ON IN MY LIFE. It is old, there is no support. I sleep on a form matress with a topper at home, so hardness only was not why I say this. I am NOT a finicky or light sleeper however if I was lucky enough to sleep through the night my back hurt unbelievably so (I am 28 w no history of back issues). Many nights I was up by 3 or 4 a.m. because I just could not sleep anymore. I attempted to sleep on the floor but since there’s no padding under the carpet that was out of the question as well. The walls are paper thin. I say this because I could hear every word my neighbor room was saying. They would come in between midnight and 1am nightly. As I said I’m not a light sleeper so they only woke me up once because he was smoking inside the room and it was coming from my vent. The breakfast is not worth 16 euro, compared to the rest of the country I cannot explain how poor the food was. There are several restaurants across the street however the lack of a proper bar (the bars in Rome are where you get coffee and pastries — alcoholic bars are called «american bars» — funny to us yes) very close does not give you very many options for breakfast.
I got this hotel in amazing deal of less than $ 400 however there sign says they rent for almost 100 euro a night which is about $ 128 right now. I personally could not imagine having paid that amount for the bed and not having breakfast included. I understand the place is tied extremely much to be location. However the hotel Borromeo is very close to here on Cavour (stayed in 2013 — currently $ 145 nightly) and if distance doesnt scare you the hotel San Francesco (stayed 2012 — currently $ 185 nightly) is in the Trastevere. Both have just as amazing transportation and close restaurant options with better breakfast (included in price) and better beds, less traffic in Trastevere, and better bars in Cavour. I dont mean this to advertise, but as I well versed European-​Roma traveller I felt I should mention these I have experience with.

Clean and modern.
Rooms are tiny but well-​designed. Breakfast’s fine. Location is excellent.
Main issue is that the rooms have paper-​thin walls.
Not my favourite hotel.

Das Mercure Hotel Delta Colosseo liegt sehr zentral am Colosseo. Die Zimmer waren sauber und gut ausgestattet und für römische Verhältnisse sogar recht groß. Sehr schön ist auch der Balkon mit Vollverglasung, von dem man je nach Lage des Zimmers einen wunderbaren Blick auf das Colosseo oder die Via Labicana hat. Der Service im Mercure war überwiegend freundlich. Auch das Frühstück konnte überzeugen, dafür dass das Hotel in Italien liegt war das Frühstücksbuffet wirklich sehr reichhaltig und alle Speisen waren auch frisch. Besonders zum empfehlen ist der italienische Kuchen, gefüllt mit verschiedenen Marmeladensorten. Was ich auch sehr schön fand, ist, dass man mit seiner Tasse zu einem Kaffeeautomat gehen kann und die Auswahl zwischen vielen Kaffeespezialitäten hat: Von normalen Kaffee über Espresso, Cappuchino und heiße Schokolade ist alles zu haben.
Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: Die Toiletten im öffentlichen Bereich des Hotels sind einfach das Bad eines ausgeräumtes Zimmer im 1. OG, dass fand ich etwas merkwürdig. Dort war es auch leider nicht sehr sauber. Fazit: Gutes Hotel in guter Lage mit überzeugendem Service, auf jeden Fall sehr zu empfehlen.

Hotel tres bien situé au centre de Rome pres du Colisee. Bön accueil, bon service.
petit déjeuner standard.

The staff are friendly and the location good. That’s about all that I can say that’s nice about this place.
My room was next to a busy road — rumbling through the night with heavy goods vehicles and motorbikes taking turns to wake me up throughout the night. The food service provided by the hotel consisted of reheated frozen food. To be fair to the hotel, they did suggest that I might prefer a local restaurant (!) but you can tell that when hotel staff are openly suggesting this, things are pretty bad. Rooms are tired and in desparate need of a refurbishment — sticking in a flatscreen TV doesn’t make up for the shabby, stale look and feel of the place.
Didn’t stick around to find out any more — I checked out the following day and checked in to another hotel instead.
I’m not quite sure how this hotel has earned four stars — it’s three star at best.

Das Hotel ist super. Schöné Zimmer, sauber, gutes Frühstück und eine herrliche Dachterrasse mit Pool und Blick auf das Kolosseum. Nicht ganz billig, aber dafür sehr zentral.
Allerdings 7 Euro! Für eine Stunde Internetzugang geht gar nicht.
