It was a good stay and friendly staff but the advertise that the rooms have King size beds in and it is definitely NOT a King size bed. Double or at most a queen.

Loved staying at the Colosseum Hotel. Clean and staff are friendly. However, the Hotel has a tired look and is in desperate need of an update. Everything is exactly the same as 20 years ago and nothing has been upgraded,

The hotel was nice and clean, however the staff were not very accommodating and everything we asked for seemed to be a “mission” for them. Had booked to stay again the next week for a couple nights and have cancelled and are staying somewhere else
Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023

10/10

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay. Our room had everything we needed and we loved having the lounge space as well as the fridge and microwave. Staff were all very friendly and helpful, arranging for our taxis to the city centre and organising laundry (to pay for). Our room was cleaned and tea/ coffee/ small water bottle replaced each day. Woolworths next door was handy for snacks to take out for the day. My only negative was the bed was a bit soft for me (that's my personal preference!) Great place, lovely restaurant. We highly recommend the Colosseum Luxury Hotel.

Hotel with a beautiful location and exterior but outdated and poorly maintained on the inside. The rooms are extremely outdated, poor lighting that does not work well, toilets need a proper scrub, bathroom doors used as room doors in the 2 bed apartment. though the front desk staff have excellent service - Delano and Ronelle stood out.
Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023

we checked in, not a family room, asked for a family room, none was available, Bath was situated in the open where the bed is, we had our 7 yr daughter with us, no TV in the room, furniture was horrible, not comfortable at all. Although what I can say was positive was the staff members that assisted us. Luca is a great asset to your business

Rooms was not as per the pictures seen online. Also no tv in room while in bed. have to sit on a seperate small couch and watch the bare minimum stations available on tv. the shower is right next to the toilet which makes everything wet inside. not very nice.
