    I booked this hotel through www.venere.com (all my experiences with them have been good) but it's in Rome.....one allows one's expectations to drop somewhat in Rome.

    However, this is a real find: just a few rooms (6, I think) on the second floor of a mansion block 5 minutes' walk from Termini. Absolutely clean, well-appointed, lashings of hot water friendly, pleasant and helpful staff ( I believe it is run by 3 brothers), excellent central heating (I imagine the air con would be equally good).......absolutely super for the price. Rooms have mini-bar, TV, phone, safe.

    Rooms at the back (2) look over the inner courtyard, so they are really, really quiet. The other rooms look over the street:not a noisy one in terms of traffic, bbut there are market stalls every day. The double glazing is good though, so will cut down any noise.

    Breakfast was typically Roman-hotel, but the rolls and pastries were fresh and not factory-produced, and a variety of coffee is on offer. More than enough food to get a good start to the day.

    There is a lift, but the three steps up to it (and to reception) might be difficult for people with mobility problems.

    You have to look carefully to find the entrance: it's at number 42 Via Milazzo, on the left as you walk from Termini. You need to press the buzzer for the hotl, and then the (massive and heavy) door will open).

    Don't be put off by what might seem to be a bit of a rough area: it really isn't dangerous (unless you are behaving in a stupidly careless way in a big city). There's a carabinieri station almost next door and the hotel itself has excellent security facilities.

    The cleanliness.

    The friendliness and courtesy of the staff.

    The hugely convenient position: 5 minutes to the station for the Leonardo Express or the Ciampino coach, 5 minutes to the main bus station, 20 minutes or so walk to the Colosseum.......you couldn't find a more convenient place.

    The good value bars, cafes, pizzeria and restuarants nearby; patronised by locals, so they can't charge tourist prices!

    I'd happily stay here again, as a single female, and I have no doubt that I will.

  • Ive been to Rome 3 times ,and have stayed in different hotels each time but domus praetoria has to be the best so far. It is run by 3 brothers who speak english, which is rare in Italy. They are extremely helpful and the hotel is great. Its got air conditioning, a elevator (small but works), and a blowdryer in the rooms. The bathroom is a pretty decent size since most bathrooms in europe are the size of the bathrooms in airplanes.

    Two blocks away from termini and close to a location which is safe and open till late. There are a good amount of restaurants and all the sites are walking distance except for the vatican.

    This is a very small hotel, which has about 2 floors of an apartment building. The owners are very nice and speak English. The rooms are quite big by European standards and they are nice. I forgot to take pictures of our room, but the pictures on their website are accurate. There are many restaurants all around the block.

    If you are a woman or group of women and walk around the block where the hotel is in the evening, you might have Italian men giving you compliments out loud. Some women may not like this, but my sister and I thought it was funny. If a woman is walking around with her husband, the Italian guys won't say anything...so don't worry.

    I used http://www.venere.com to book the hotel online with my credit card. I couldn't figure out a way to pay on the Hotel's website.

    This hotel is rated #1 in Rome on tripadvisor.com . You can find out more information about this hotel by reading the comments on that website.
