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 to try staying in a convent (which I booked with Sister Milena over the internet and a couple of phone calls to confirm everything). Our room was small and basic (containing beds, small table and 1 chair and a tiny bathroom) but very clean. As we spent all day out sightseeing, this wasn't too much of a problem. Having no TV meant our boys played card games and read books to pass any time we had in the room. We found many wonderful local and inexpensive places to eat around this area and it always felt safe to be walking around at night with the kids. We ate in the dining room a few times and really enjoyed the meals. The nuns were always polite and accommodating. If you are looking for clean, inexpensive centrally located accommodation in Rome, Fraterna Domus ticks those boxes, staying here was a good experience for our family.

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 rooms were very clean, although quite small. The bathroom was very interesting, with the shower right in the middle of the bathroom next to the toilet. The location was great, within walking distance of many sights and close to bus stops. We were basically looking for a clean place to sleep and shower and that's what we got. I would definitely recommend it to other travelers.

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 served the same dish for 3 nights in a row. They lock the door at 11 PM so if you want to stay out at night....it is not gonna happen.

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 but fullfilling.

Would go back again and would recommend to others.

I did not find the 11 PM curfew a problem.
