“Very clean, modern, good price and good location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2011

We had a great stay at Domus Castrense. The room was very nice, exceptionally clean. We liked the B&B feel. You could come and go as you please and were feeling as if you had your own personal apartment for a few days. The breakfast was served to you in your room between a certain time, which you would indicate the night before. Free internet which was awesome (especially since we couldn't find a TV channel in English).

The ONLY complaint was when we arrived. The door to enter was locked. We really didn't know how to get in. A simple instructions emailed prior on how to enter (which button to push for assistance) would be nice.

Overall, great experience!

Room Tip: Most hotels are close to the Termini, which gives you options for traveling around the city too.

“Very lovely Owners, Good location, Nice Decor”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

I stayed here for several nights with a friend of mine on my 3rd trip to Rome. The location is good, though not as good as other hotels that I have stayed in while in Rome.

The breakfast was good, as always fresh pastries and yogurt with some fruit. Cappuccinos to order was the best though!

The decor is quite pretty, simple and light, but very nice. It is a small hotel, I'm pretty sure that it used to be an apartment that was just divided because it is in an apartment building. The up side to this is that it was quiet. There was a bit of construction (scaffolding on the outside of the building) that blocked out patio but the view wasn't much to see so we didn't mind. The beds were comfy.

The staff was very very nice, though it should be noted that they are not always there. Basically during check in times and for breakfast. Not at night at all.

I liked it but I have found another hotel in Rome that I would probably stay at over this one, though this would probably be my backup.

“A bit disappointing considering the price”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2011

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.

“Comfortable and clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2011

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...
