Beautiful hotel! The room was perfect and very comfortable. I loved the neighborhood of Monti and proximity to the train. The rooftop bar sounded really fun but we didn’t go. If you want to go to bed early I suggest earplugs, they have live music and what sounds like a fantastic time on the roof

Love the area and the service was wonderful. From the moment they had someone pick us up from the airport to our departure we felt well taken care of. They even gave us a bottle of champagne for our honeymoon.

Great choice, small, clean and excellent service. The only downside for me was that it is a bit of a walk to all the main sites when you are visiting for a short time but all in all a good hotel.

Vacation stay

Staff was very attentive. Rooms are quite nice. On a negative note, the elevator is sized for two people.....you are going to wait a while for it. Overall, I would recommend this hotel.

My sister and I absolutely loved our stay here while in Rome! We needed to be close to the train station so it was perfect, but when we returned to Rome, the location was a little further away from city center so we had to stay elsewhere. We really wished we could've stayed longer at The Major. Great staff, beautiful rooms and common areas, lovely rooftop, and surprisingly great slippers!

Great little hotel for a colosseum trip!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel! Very close to a lot of great food options, a beautiful church and a 15 min walk to the colosseum. We stayed at the end of August and it was very hot outside but the hotel AC worked very well and kept us cool anytime we were in the rooms. The only thing we didnt love was the layout of the bathroom which was small and cramped but it was fine for the few days we were there. The hotel was very clean and the staff was excellent. Given the reasonable cost we would stay here again.
