About

Etruria Relais

Etruria Relais is a 4-star guest house on Via Etruria 37, with six rooms and a deliberately compact feel. Wi-Fi is available throughout, private parking sits nearby, and the property adds a concierge desk, express check-in/out and paid airport shuttle transfers. Rates start from £93.

Guests describe the location as convenient, with the Colosseum and the centre reachable in minutes by walking or public transport. The 4th-century Basilica of San Clemente is about a 25-minute walk away. Breakfast is a consistent highlight in reviews, particularly the Italian coffee.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Location is the first thing guests mention — The Colosseum and the centre are described as minutes away, with a metro station and several bus stops close by for getting around Rome.
  • Breakfast and coffee earn repeated praise — Several reviewers highlight a beautifully arranged breakfast, fresh options and excellent Italian coffee, and Dining is one of the highest-scoring categories.
  • Rooms are spacious, with generous bathrooms — Guests mention large bedrooms, big bathrooms and spa baths, and describe the rooms as clean and comfortable after a day in Rome.
  • A genuinely small, personal scale — With six rooms, a concierge desk, soundproofed rooms and a welcome drink, it has more of a guest-house character than a large hotel.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness is the weakest category — Guests rate Rooms and cleanliness 6 out of 10, below Location and Dining, which both score 8.
  • Price and service scores less strongly — Price and service also gets 6 out of 10, so with rates from £93 the value equation is less convincing than the location.
  • Check-in and check-out windows are short — Check-in runs only from 14:00 to 22:00 and check-out from 08:00 to 10:00, which can be awkward for early or late travel plans.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
