White Rooms Colosseo

We booked this through Airbnb and it was perfect for our stay in Roma. It was literally a 5 – 7 minute walk to the Colosseo (Colosseum) and several restaurants. It’s also very close to the Colosseo train station and other ground transportation. The white rooms (as opposed to the black rooms which are downstairs) are private rooms with a shared eating/​living room space. The shared space had all the amenities (cappuccino/​espresso/​coffee machine, microwave, plates & utensils, towels, cups, toaster, hot pot, toaster oven, and places to sit). You can even leave your bags there after checkout time if you tell the host and pick them up on your way out of town or make other arrangements.
The room itself was perfect for 2 people. I believe there were 2 other «apartments» in the same space. The room had shuttered windows that opened up to the courtyard and subtly let the breeze come in at night to cool the room. There was an air conditioner but the room got quite nice with just the windows open. The electricity in the room is turned on by the key card attached to the room key so you have to take the key out before you leave to lock the door thus saving electricity. That was a cool idea. The white rooms are… well…white as you can see from the pictures. It was easy to see how clean everything was kept. The bed was like a cross between a full & queen-​sized I believe and there were plenty of outlets around the room. The bathroom was also very nice and sleekly modern. It came standard with a toilet and bidet. It was also nice that the room had a safe so that we didn’t have to take all of our more pricey belongings and cash with us and it was secure in the room. Our neighbors were very quiet as well even with the windows open. Also, it was nice to have an elevator to reach our flat even though it was quite small and really only fits two people with luggage or four people without luggage. Trust me… you’ll enjoy the elevator once you have to go up and down the steps a few times.
What made this five stars is that my sister left her plug converter and camera charger in the room and luckily we were heading back through Roma on our way to Florence and they met us there to give my sister her items back. That was really nice of them. If I ever came back to Roma, I would definitely stay here.

White Rooms was our first stop on mine and my wife’s three week honeymoon in Italy. Located minutes from the Colosseum and a short cab ride from the Roma Termini, the White Rooms are actually a couple apartments that have been converted to rooms for rent. There were three rooms in ours, with a shared kitchen. Each room has a separate lock, of course.
The rooms looked really nice on Expedia and lived up to them — everything is the namesake white, clean and quite modern and new looking. After traveling around Italy, we would come to realize just how new and modern it really was.
Pros:
— very new, modern and clean
— good Wifi
— nice breakfast spread — cornetti, cereal, fruit, yogurt, sliced meats, cheese, juice and milk. Also snacks like tarts, biscotti, toasts and jam.
— fantastic location for getting to sites like the Colosseum, Roman Forum, etc. and within several minutes walk of Metro stations
— air conditioning worked well, which we missed later on in our trip when it was hotter and AC wasn’t as good or unavailable
— staff was very friendly and accommodating and spoke decent English
Cons:
— it’s not a hotel so don’t expect those sort of facilities, but there was nothing bad about our experience!
