“Too expensive for what it is”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2005
4
people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Domus Julia for 4 nights. The positives: the room was very clean, the personnel were mostly helpful, the location is excellent, the breakfast good. Negatives: the air conditioning remote control(necc. for its operation) had been removed and was never found (it wasn't "hot" to the Italians, so they apparently didn't think we should need the a/c); the hair dryer hose was broken (although they fixed it finally); the phone didn't work (it was fixed after the 2nd complaint, but not before we had waited 2 hours for a phone call that never came). The amount/quality of service depended totally on who was at the desk. At $200/night everything should have worked. Next time I will look for a hotel in the Trastevere district, which is in a charming and cheaper district, withing easy walking distance of all the major sites.

“Location, location, location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2005

In October 2005 we stayed in Room 11 at Domus Julia , which is adjacent to Hotel Julia, where the front desk, little bar, and breakfast room are located. The room was spacious, clean, well furnished, air conditioned and comfortable. The street below was noisy but with the window closed at night it was not a problem. The bathroom was also spacious. Our only complaint was that the shower head in the tub/shower was located on the back wall not an end wall (uncomfortable and hard to use) and there was some unpleasant mildew around the tub. There was an elevator, although it was an easy climb up the stairs, and we are in our early 70's. The room looked exactly like the photo in the brochure. There was also a safe located in the armoire, and a little frig.

The location on Via Rasella was perfect in every way for our 4 nite stay ( 150 Euros per nite) which included a lovely, abundant breakfast with cereal, pastries, soft boiled eggs, rolls, cold cuts, cheese, fruit, juice, coffee and tea.

We walked everywhere, Trevi Fountain just a few blocks away, Spanish Steps too. Even shorter to the Metro stop, Hop On/Hop Off Tour Bus stop, wonderful restaurants far too numerous to mention in every direction, all within walking distance. Via Veneto, Piazza Barberini all close by as well. Taxis were never more than 10 Euros one way for the sights located a bit out of our walking reach, like the Vatican, Piazza Navonna, Campo di Fiore and the Pantheon etc.

We found that ordering the set/fixed menu for the day was the least expensive way to go, and the food was always delicious, especially the pastas without exception. We were usually confused about whether the bread and service charge was included or not......
Gelato shops seemed to be on every corner, a temptation we found difficult to resist.....

Rosa and the staff at the Hotel are extremely helpful, she answered my every little question before arrival, and during our stay as well. She arranged for transfer from our cruise ship and to the airport with a very good driver with a station wagon to accomodate our huge luggage.

The hotel also offers free internet use, which made staying in touch with our family so easy and reassuring.

We are recommending this quaint hotel and its fabulous location to all our friends and would definitely stay there again.

Thank you Rosa and staff !

“Nice hotel, good location”

This hotel has a great location (not far from the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, the Colisseum & a metro stop). Our room was very nice & not too small. It was air conditioned and there's internet access at the front desk. It's a bed and breakfast so they'll bring you your continental breakfast in your room.

We had a nice spacious room and huge bathroom. WE had plenty of room for four people. The Domus Julia is in an excellent location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very basic. We would stay here again.

“A great hotel and staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2005

We recently went to Rome on our honeymoon and stayed in Rome for 5 days. We picked Domus Julia because is was central to everything.
Rosa and her staff were awesome and the accomadations were fantasic. The apartment (double) was spacious and more that up to date. Getting around was easy and close to everything (we used the Metro to only go to the Vatican).
Rosa's staff were great with maps and were stuff was and with suggestions for dinner.
Another review said that they had to walk down a long walkway in the dark which is inaccurate. The light is on the right hand side and is lite up.
It is a little noisy on the street but just shut the window and it blocks out all the noise.
There is no doubt I would stay there again when I travel back
Thanks Rosa and staff!!!
