We had a lovely two night stay at Hotel Romano. Its location was spectacular, literally steps from the Colosseum and the Forum.  The hotel itself is quite small and historic but did not lack in anything. There was a mini bar that my diabetic husband was able to store his supplies in and the air conditioning was more than sufficient. The staff was lovely, accommodating, and had a wealth of knowledge on the area, transportation, and dining options.  They will hold your luggage pre-and post trip so you will not miss out on any of the sites and you won’t have to drag your luggage with you.
