Hotel Cosmopolita in Rome?

Hi, we're booked at the Hotel Cosmopolita in Rome, on Via Santa Eufemia, and darned if I can locate this on any map in any detail-- none of the streets with the hotel marker on it seem to have this name. Is anyone familiar with this hotel, nearby main intersection, subway station, etc.? I've emailed the hotel and hope they can provide some information in english!

May be able to help you locate it, if you can provide any/all of the following:

1) the best and most accurately spelled street address--with building number--that you've been able to find, such as from their website, etc

2) verification that the exact spelling of the hotel is as you've given it in your OP

3) the URL of any website referring to this hotel

According to the hotel website, the red push pin icon on this map (click link below) is the location of the Hotel Cosmopolita

click here & look for red push pin, you can zoom in

This is a different location than was shown on the Google Map that I posted a few minutes ago (I've deleted that post because I think the Google Map location is wrong).

thanks, Kent. I saw this map also, so, naturally, I was confused, since this seems to be a totally different location than google maps... but, you'd think to trust the hotel web site, right? So, Piazza Venezia to the left, and a subway station to the lower right? Any idea which station that is... one stop away from the Colosseum?

The clearest info I've found so far is to use www.viamichelin.com, selecting Maps option and carefully inputting the address in the address boxes at upper left. It shows the hotel being roughly 500 ft north (and slightly east, a true compass bearing of approx 25 to 30 degrees) of the enormous white Victor Emmanuelle monument; and approx 700 feet to the east (straight line distance, not by the streets) of Piazza Venezia.

I can't figure out how to link you to the map I've drawn in ViaMichelin, but you should be able to replicate it if you carefully input the hotel address you provided (above), make sure the address is input in the appropriate chunks called for by the viamichelin Map function.

Let me know if you don't get a map on viamichelin.

OK, I zoomed on a different(??!) map from the hotel website, and I finally see the street Via Santa Eufemia, branching off Via Cesare Battisti, which parallels (one-way?) Via 4 Novembre, and a little southwest of Galleria Colonna metro station? Wow, you really have to dig around for this stuff! Thanks again for all the help!

Caution: I'm not convinced that the Galleria Colonna M symbol on the hotel website map is really a subway stop. I'm not seeing any confirmation of that on the viamichelin map.

I suggest you do the viamichelin thing and compare that location to what we're getting on Google Map. I have a feeling the viamichelin mapping is better for this purpose.

The single best locator so far is the location of the hotel in relation to the massive Victor Emmanuel Monument.

uhhh... yeah, I don't think that's a metro stop, even though this last map had an 'M' next to the name. Looks like it forms a triangle with Cavour and Colosseo stations... are there buses, then, that would be better? We'll have carry-on type luggage on rollers, but, for some reason, I'm anticipating cobbled streets or sidewalks, which could prove troublesome... or, maybe it's not that bad?

I also found the same two subway stops to be the same two you've found:

Cavour (east and south of the hotel, approx true compass bearing from the hotel of about 120 degrees, the bearing I'm giving is an approximation only)

Colosseo (bearing approx 135 degrees from the hotel)

But neither of these subway stops is particularly close to the hotel.

How to get to the hotel, while hauling luggage, depends partly on where you're coming from but, if it were me, would depend mainly on convenience given you're hauling luggage and may be tired, etc. Sometimes taxis are worth the extra cost, when you're hauling luggage.

With a taxi, I'd print out the viamichelin map and give it to the taxi driver (and not assume he would know the hotel location).

A bus, with luggage, could be not worth the cost saving.

I noticed on the viamichelin.com map that the Via Santa Eufemia appears to be a pedestrian-only street, or at least something other than a full-fledged street. I think that's what the green dashed line on the viamichelin map means. That explains why this address has been so difficult for you and me to pin down.

However, when I zoom in on satellite view on viamichelin, I am seeing cars parked on the street--not sure what we've got, but it's been a baffling challenge to locate online.

I'd have a cell phone that works in Italy and have the hotel number saved in the phone directory, if all else fails.
