When you first check in you need to make an appointment, if your late to your appointment you get charged 25 euros. If you need to check in after 9:00pm you get charge some more euros. So when you first arrive , you need to go down two flights of stairs to get the the reception desk and three locked doors. The room is small and cozzy, but not very clean. I had allergies from the dust in the room, and the cable/satilite was horrible (very few english channels). I could not sleep the one night that I stayed because you can here everything going on in the building. Our neighbor arrived at 2:30 and decided to shower at that time (we heard eveything). At 6:00am they started to get breakfast ready, and we also heard everything, people talking, dishes, ect. The bathroom was very nice, and even had a large tub. The locations is the best part of the entire hotel, it is absolutely perfect!!!! For the price, you can stay somewhere else in the vacinity and the difference is not much.

I hope this helps

This hotel is fairly good. The rooms are a bit small, but it's new and clean. Location is strange to say the least. Hotel in itself is only 100 metres away from the Spanish Steps (very good!), but the reception is through a regular door from the road, many stairs down and around several buildings. You have to go through three locked doors before you are in the reception (which is open just for a few hours a day). So you have to bring an enormous key chain with you at all time.

The minibar only has a few items in it so I guess they calculate that you'll buy your drinks outside and keep them stored in there.

TV only had two English speaking channels (BBC World and Euronews).

Air Condition is always on, but control is easy enough to manage.

You have to fill out a form of what you want for breakfast and what time you want it. It will be brought to your door and you'll eat it in your room. Bread rolls was far from fresh (hard and dry) and there was only jam to put on it.

Service was good and they do speak English.

This hotel has a very good location, close to the Metro, but even though the rooms are nice, they don't invite for a longer stay.

I stayed at Residenza Domizia Smart Design Via Gregoriana. I booked a triple room for one night .Eventhough in the booking is stated that the reception is open from 11am and 2 pm. , somebody called my cell at 12:30 saying he was going and I have to check in Via dei Coronari.
He waited me only because I was parking in front of the residenza.

The triple room WAS NOT triple, was a double room with a folding bed placed in the entrance alleyway. I immediately called and I was told that ALL the triple rooms were like mine.I decided to stay because I have booked only 1 night, but I complaint about the bad habit of taking advantage of tourists and I ask for a reduction of the price. Iit was agreed I would be charged less than the 200 euros of my booking. Next morning noises and italian talkings woke me up at 7 am. We had a orrible, cheap, breakfast seated on our beds ( it is served ONLY in your room), and i can tell you that a small double bedroom could be very tiny for 3 adults!!
The check out was between 8am and 10 am and obviously the employee didn' t know anything about the price reduction ( a way of trying to weaken the endurance of the complainer!! I am Italian and I know the tricks!!). To be short, after a long phone discussion I got 25 euros discount. Anyway, it wasn't a money problem, I have only wanted what I should have and what I had to pay for.
I wouldn't book another time at Residenza Domizia Smart Design: the location is very good, but I have realized that we would stay in an hotel with more services, a breakfast room and a REAL triple room walking 200/300 metres more or paying 20/30 euros more. And without stressing my self.
It is not worth it.

The location was fabulous - Piazza Navonna is just down an alley. The Pantheon and the Vatican are easy walks. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Their recommendations for local restaurants were great.
The hotel is 17 rooms in 3 buildings - we were in the building with the reception desk - had to cross the street to go to the building with the breakfast room - standard coffee, juice, cereal, and cold pastries for breakfast - which suits me to a T - but people who like a large breakfast may not find it adequate.
