About
Ht Residence Maximus
Ht Residence Maximus is a 4-star property in Rome, Lazio, with its listed address on Via Capo D'Africa but check-in at Piazza del Colosseo 9. The property description places it about 1.3 km from the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, and guest reviews give it a location score of 9 out of 10, with the Colosseum, Metro, supermarkets and restaurants all described as close by. Overall, it rates 8.1 from 1,306 guest reviews, with published rates from £47.
This is a small, apartment-style residence rather than a conventional hotel.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Short check-in window — Check-in runs only from 14:00 to 18:00 and takes place at Piazza del Colosseo 9, not at the Via Capo D'Africa address. If you're arriving outside that window, you'll need to plan.
- Rooms and cleanliness score is the weakest — This is the property's lowest rating category at 6 out of 10, while location, dining and price/service all score higher.
- Small, apartment-style operation — A guest describes it as more of an apartment rental than a hotel, with three rooms in a shared building quad and multiple keys needed to reach the room; another notes the entrance is down an alley. It is not a full-service hotel front.
