Paba

The Hotel Paba’s enviable location—almost within hurling distance of the Colosseum—is just one reason this two-star property remains popular with guests. Another (perhaps more important) reason is Alberta, who runs the place with care.

Each of the seven rooms here is decorated in a different style and named accordingly. Enjoy the film posters in the “Lovers Nest” or stay in the “Imperial Suite” to nab the Hotel Paba’s only balcony. The décor is a bit of a mishmash: Some rooms feature heavily patterned furniture and carpets, while others sport more modern laminate floors and white walls. And, as breakfast is brought to the rooms, each room has a bistro table and chairs.

All rooms benefit from air conditioning, a TV, phone, kettle, minibar and private bathroom with hair dryer.

The area around the Colosseum can be expensive for drinks and meals, so take heed of the Hotel Alberta’s personal recommendations. There is also a fridge in each room so guests can stock up on snacks from the nearby supermarkets.

Note: The hotel is on the second floor of an apartment building. There is an elevator, but the Hotel Paba is not very accessible for guests with disabilities. Light sleepers should note that the street outside can be busy.

Wi-Fi is free throughout, and breakfast is included in the room rate.
