Bottom line - we truly enjoyed our stay at Room Mate Collection Mia during our Rome trip. The location is incredible; just steps from the Colosseum, but still quiet enough to relax.

There was also a small gym downstairs that was...

Overall the hotel is fine and the service is good. However, I didn’t sleep well. The mattress sinks in and felt uncomfortable. Also, if you stay on the 3rd floor, keep in mind there’s a restaurant above on the 4th floor, and the sound insulation ...
