HOTEL TUSCOLANA, Rome

The hotel is well positioned for both sightseeing and business: the metro connects directly to landmarks like the Colosseum (reachable on foot in about 30 minutes, or via metro in under 10 minutes) and all major squares. Tuscolana Train Station offers a 30-minute direct train to Fiumicino Airport and to the New Rome Fair. The San Giovanni Basilica is a 15-minute walk away. The area itself is rich in shops, restaurants, and supermarkets, all within a short stroll. Public transport is notably convenient-multiple bus stops are within 2 to 5 minutes on foot, making the hotel a practical base for car-free travel around the entire city.

Single rooms (9 m2) face the interior and are notably quiet, ideal for solo business travellers. Small double rooms (10-12 m2) have a French bed (140 cm) and are suited for short stays or couples; they cannot accommodate extra beds or baby cots. Standard doubles (16 m2) offer a choice of one double or two twin beds, with a larger bathroom. Triple rooms (20 m2) include a double and single bed (can be three singles) and a free baby cot for children up to 4 years old. Quad rooms (25 m2) are the largest, with a double and two singles, plus a free baby cot option. Some triple rooms have a small balcony, and all rooms are non-smoking with double-glazed windows for noise reduction. Minibars are present but not filled; an electric kettle and a small fridge are standard. Rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels provided.

The breakfast spread includes fruit salads, hard-boiled eggs, omelettes, croissants, cereals, homemade yogurt with honey, fresh juices, and quality Italian coffee made from freshly ground beans. A variety of homemade cakes and pastries are baked each morning. Dietary needs can be accommodated on request-for example, lactose-free milk has been offered. For early departures, a quick breakfast of pastries and a hot drink is available from 6:30 after a prior request. The hotel does not have a restaurant for lunch or dinner, but the San Giovanni area is full of cafés and restaurants within walking distance, and staff are happy to recommend and book local eateries.

The hotel offers practical services tailored to both leisure and business travellers. A 24-hour front desk handles late arrivals and express check-in/out. Staff can arrange skip-the-line tickets for major attractions, book tours and excursions, and organise airport transfers (secure pickup from Fiumicino: €55). Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout, and daily housekeeping keeps rooms clean. Laundry shops are nearby with a one-day turnaround. For dogs, well-behaved medium-sized pets are accepted on request (charges may apply). Safety features include CCTV, security alarms, and a safety deposit box in each room. Car hire and a minimarket on site are also available.
