About
Chroma Italy - Chroma Octho
Chroma Italy - Chroma Octho sits on Via Cavour in central Rome, about a 17-minute stroll from the walled Giardino degli Aranci. Guests consistently describe the location as excellent, with the Colosseum a short walk away and good cafés and restaurants close by. Its guest rating stands at 8.4 from 450 reviews, and rooms are priced from £152 per night. Practicalities are covered, too: Wi-Fi throughout, private parking nearby, an electric vehicle charging station and a paid airport shuttle.
The room line-up runs to Superior Double, Superior Triple and Deluxe Family rooms, and reviews single them out for being well sized and comfortable, with modern decor, showers and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Service is the other strong suit: staff are described repeatedly as friendly, welcoming and quick to help, whether with tickets, maps or local tips. A simple self check-in process has also worked well for guests arriving late.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Location that puts the Colosseum on foot. — Guests repeatedly mention a short stroll to the Colosseum and an easy walk to the main attractions, with good cafés and restaurants close by.
- Staff who genuinely help. — From booking Vatican tickets to marking a map with local recommendations, reviewers describe staff as warm, welcoming and quick to respond.
- Comfortable, well-sized rooms. — Guests call out the size and condition of the rooms, with soundproofed windows, modern decor, kettles, fridges and tea-making facilities all mentioned.

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Pets are not allowed. — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this hotel won't work — the house rules are no pets.
- Parking is nearby, not on site. — The private parking is described as nearby rather than at the hotel, so a car involves an extra step when you arrive.
- Reception check-in ends at 23:30. — The stated check-in window finishes at 23:30; after that, the self check-in process applies — simple, according to guests, but not the same as being met by staff.
