HOTEL CORTINA, Rome

The hotel sits on the first floor of a 19th-century building at the heart of Rome. Repubblica Metro (line A) is a 2-minute walk, providing direct access to the Spanish Steps and Vatican. Termini station, with trains to the airport and connections across the city, is 800 metres away (12-minute walk). The Colosseum is a 15-minute walk, Trevi Fountain 20 minutes, and Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore 10 minutes. Walking is practical for most attractions; the main street offers many shops, restaurants, and cafes. A tram stop is also nearby for trips to the Olympic Stadium (30-40 minutes by metro/bus). The area is lively day and night, but the central location makes it ideal for sightseeing and exploring Rome on foot.

Room types include Single (11 m2, with a single or queen-size bed - some have no external window), Standard Double (18 m2, with parquet floor and overlook), Small Double (15 m2, ideal for short stays), Triple (25 m2, with double and single bed), Superior Double, and Junior Suite. All rooms feature air conditioning, flat-screen satellite TV, minibar, safe, tea/coffee making facilities, free Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom with shower (some with bathtub). Some rooms have city views. While rooms are generally clean and comfortable, some are compact and furnishings may feel dated. Light sleepers should request a room away from the street to avoid noise from the Irish pub below. Rooms on higher floors or facing internal courtyards tend to be quieter.

Breakfast is served in a dedicated room from approximately 07:30 to 10:00. The buffet includes bread, pastries, cereals, yoghurt, fruit, cold cuts, cheese, and a selection of hot drinks. Gluten-free options can be provided on request. The coffee is a notable highlight - rich and freshly made. There is no on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner, but the hotel's partner restaurant, Osteria Oliva, is a short walk away near the Colosseum. Numerous restaurants, cafes, and a supermarket are within a 3-minute walk along Via Nazionale. The hotel can also arrange in-room breakfast and special diet menus on request.

The hotel provides a range of free activities to help guests explore Rome: guided walking tours (covering monuments, local cuisine, and hidden gems), photography tours, and cooking classes. These are arranged through the B.Zar Hotel&Co. brand and are available to all guests. For those seeking traditional wellness facilities, these are not on-site. Instead, the central location makes it easy to enjoy Rome's parks, historic squares, and lively street life.

High-speed fibre Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out at no extra charge. Daily housekeeping is provided; additional laundry, dry cleaning, and ironing services are available for a fee. The hotel offers express check-in/out, concierge service, and a tour desk.
