I booked this convent room through monasterystays.com and was shocked to find out that they pre-payment of 99 euro went straight to the website. Beware, monasterystays.com is simply a travel agent and takes a large commission for the booking. If I had known this I would have looked a little harder to find out how to book directly with the...

Our family of 4 (with two teenage boys) stayed here for 7 nights in January. The location is absolutely fantastic, within walking distance to Piazza Navona, Vatican Musuem, St Peter's Basilica, Pantheon - we even walked to the Colosseum! Throughout our trip to Italy we were looking for a different accommodation experience in each city and in Rome we decided... More

My husband and I were traveling on a budget and this was the perfect option for us. We made our reservations through email [--] and corresponded with Sister Milena. Our room was 84 euro per night for a room with two twin beds, this also included breakfast. The sisters also serve a nice dinner for 14 euro per person. The... More

The only thing that is good about this place is the location...it is situated just a few minutes walk to the piazza navona...and 15 minutes walk to the Vatican city! And ok, it was clean and safe but basic. But the nuns that are managing this place are very rude, strict and unpleasant. The food was average, and we were... More

Basic, clean, safe no frills room. Easy to get there (Bus #70) with a stop right in front. Can not beat the location for the money (1 block off of Piazza Navone) and could walk to everything for there. I did enjoy dinner there one night (7:30 PM)...was quite full with other travelers, staying there and not. Breakfast was simple... More

We have traveled many places in Europe, and in Rome. This was bar-none the least welcoming place ever. Granted, it is in a good location, but there are other similarly-priced options nearby. To begin with, there are no signs in the "lobby" indicating where guests should check-in. There were a few locals sitting around when we arrived in the evening,... More

We are a family of four (two adults and two teenagers) and we stayed at Fraterna Domus for four nights in June. We had a big room, with 5 single beds, and a full bath with shower in our room. The location was really the best part of our stay there. It's located in the heart of old Rome. The... More

Fraterna Domus is by no means a Ritz Carlton, a Four Seasons, or a Westin for that matter. We usually stay in this type of hotels for their accommodations. This summer we wanted a true Roman experience...old, authentic, but meaningful, and that's exactly we got!!! This is "a house" as Sr. Milena and Sr. Cecilia call it. IT IS NOT... More

My wife and I have stayed at Fraterna Domus several times. We read the reviews before our first stay; the sisters offer adequate facilities and outstanding hospitality to their guests. If you are looking to be pampered, this is not your place. The sisters speak only a little English, and may not start a conversation; however, they are very friendly... More

We stayed at Fraterna Domus for six (6) nights. Good points are the location; the price; the Sisters who are just wonderful; the dinners at night at 13 Euro per person are delicious home style cooking and wine is available for purchase to have with your dinner. We met some lovely and interesting people at dinner - it is well... More
