Domus Castrense

I recommend the structure: very good location, very kind staff, small but spotless rooms, good breakfast. Excellent value for money.

Disappointing stay, overall--especially for the price. The front desk has limited hours. I arrived on Sunday at 5:30pm and the front desk had left. My key (and someone else's) were left out. The elevator wasn't working so I had to drag my suitcase up the stairs to the 5th floor. It turns out that if the elevator door is left ajar, it can't be called from any other floor. Security isn't great. There's a keypad at the front door but the numbers to push are painted with white paint so someone could pretty quickly figure out the 4-digit code. The second night I arrived back to the hotel at 6:30 and found the front door wide open and the doors to every single floor wide open as well. There was no one at the front desk. According to the manager, the front desk is staffed until 7pm but that's still pretty early by Rome standards. This did not make me feel secure. The breakfast is meager. Coffees are made to order but the rest of the offerings are prepackaged pastries and yogurts. The room was clean if simply furnished, but my a/c stopped working on the second night I was there and the room temperature was over 30 degrees (90F) for the entire night. Without a staffed front desk, I had no option but to swelter--the air temps outside were cooler than the room! That was enough for me. I found a similarly priced, full-service hotel a few blocks away and left early.

Very clean hotel ,staff very friendly, very clean bathroom, excellent tv channels selection,staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent location closed to all public transportation , coffee shops and restaurants. Highly recommended as family or solo traveler.
