This is more of a B&B style rooms in an apartment block, and not a hotel with 24hr reception. The location of the rooms is not great, better options to be had nearer to the termini if that is important to you. A lot of construction work going on and a long, hot walk to the city, termini and any metros. The triple room was only a double with an extra bed shoved in with no space between them, which is not ideal in the heat and a bit misleading. Breakfast is delivered to the room, with no fresh fruit, fresh pastries or cereal. On the upside, the room was modern and clean, staff were helpful and good English tv.

Great surprise, close to the main train station.
Good compromise between price and quality.
Interiors are quiet new. Wifi is free.

So why only 3 marks?
Negative topic: as breakfast is served directly in the room, as a common area is not existing, you have to book the precise time the evening before. Negative point, they were late of 20 minutes in serving it, I had to call the manager.

very good experience especialy with the people of the hotel...we went to rome to get married and they help us so much...the hotel is about 350 meters from the termini in a location with many hotels...the rooms were spacious comparing to other hotels that i have been before and very clean...maybe in some other clients fotos are some details that it had to be fixed but general idea is that the B&B is very good and for sure we would stay again...

My wife and I have just returned from a seven day trip to Rome.We opted to stay at the Domus Castrenese after reading the positive reviews on this hotel;and i must admit that all was true.Actually it's not a hotel like one would expect,though we knew what we would find thanks to the reviews we had read.It's an apartment on the second floor within a five storey building divided into six nicely decorated rooms.
The floors are accessible to with the use of an old elevator(Describing the elevator as old doesn't mean it's rickety).The building is very close to Rome's main train station ,Termini.So once you get to the station you don't have to take a taxi but you can walk as it's only 10 mins away.As soon as we arrived we were welcomed by Alfredo(one of the owners) who patiently explained to us how everything goes along within the Domus,with not to many formalities but with a service one would expect from a hotel.
We were given a map and he marked all the interesting places(colloseum is only 20mins away )The rooms are cosy,have a comfortable bed,airconditioned and equipped with an LCD TV.Every evening you mark your choice of beverages to be served for breakfast along with cornetto and toast and all is served in your room.Alfredo also recommended a Trattoria,Sapori di Casa, a few metres away from the domus. This the perfect place where you can eat great food in a real Roman environment.
Well we only have words of praise for the domus and we strongly recommend this place to all those who intend to visit ROME.
