Domus Livia

We enjoyed Domus Livia, mostly because of the excellent and friendly service provided by the hotel staff. It began when I had failed to get Euros in advance with which to pay our cab driver, who refused to take me to a bank teller machine and who was becoming impatient and angry. I explained my problem and Marisa promptly loaned me the 45 Euros I needed to satisfy the driver. Of course, I found a bank quickly and paid her back right away. This, though, we typical of the helpful attitude we enjoyed from the entire staff.

The elevator leaves a lot to be desired. Also, since I'm from the southern U.S. I like air conditioning to be quite cool. Ours was adequate but I always wanted it a little cooler. Overall, though, we completely enjoyed our stay.

Stayed here after a cruise (our 25th anniversary). Really enjoyed being able to have a leisurely breakfast in our room!! The ceilings must be 14 feet high - beautiful old building. The location was unbeatable. Would stay here again.

The shower drain was slow, needed some maintenance.

The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location is convenient to the train station and neighboring sites in Rome. The room rate is reasonable and a good value. This hotel has free and dependable wireless Internet service. The room is clean and well kept, with attractive and updated furnishings.

The mattress on the bed was hard and a bit uncomfortable, with flat pillows. There was no bathtub to soak in after a long day of sightseeing, and only a very small shower. There is no central dining area or restaurant in the hotel for breakfast. Coffee and light pastries are delivered to your room.

Convenient location. Close to termini and to several attractions

The exceptional friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the comfort of the room and very central location in Rome and proximity to all major sites of interest.

Perfect location within the walking distance of all major sightseeing points, 10 minutes walking from Termini train station, 3 minutes from the undeground Line A. The room was spacious and clean, staff at the reception spoke good English, which is rare in Italy. Fresh bread-rolls delivered to our room every morning :)

We took the "standard room" - the furniture there, carpets & wallpapers looked a little bit worn off. The condition of the room would justify a slight renovation, however this is the "climate" of an old Roman home.

Central location, easy walking distance of main attractions, 5 minutes to railway station. Nicely appointed room.

We had a major problem on checkin. We had booked a taxi from the airport through the hotel at a cost of 60 Euros. Our flight was 4 hours late due to snow in Madrid. No taxi was waiting for us, so we got another one. At checkin the hotel insisted we pay the 60 Euros, we refused and a major argument ensued. It was only resolved by us threatening to use another hotel.

Central position in the city, breakfast in room

very handy location and very big room.

we were delayed due to a cancelled flight and the hotel charged us for the nights we had booked but were not there. i understand there is a cancellation policy but they had clearly rebooked the room in our absence and our no show was through no fault of our own.

plase and nice atmospear

I loved the room, it was very quaint and in quite close to all the important sites.
