We liked our stay here. This is historical old building, age of centuries, very atmospheric and with interesting architecture, the former monastery. Our room was spacious and airy, with high selling about 4m high and thick brick walls, faced the backyard with very beautiful view (see foto attached), quiet and warm, we even switched the heating regulator to the lowest level, because it was too warm for us. Beds were comfortable, wifi was good (2nd floor, 207 room), breakfast was basic but enough to start the day (ham, sausage, cheese, bread, croissans, 2 kind of pies, coffee, tea, juce, youghurts, butter, jam, etc). The highlight of this hotel is the rooftop terrace available 24/7 with very beautiful view on Rome, both in an evening and a day, see foto attached. Another highlight is location near the archeological area, very green and intreresting to discover, not typical touristic but the place where local people live and walking. Also Christian sacred places are nearby (Laterano basilica, The Holy steps, Baptisterio, Santa Croce in Jerusalemme basilica, etc). Colosseo, Santa Maria Maggiore, Santa Prassede, San Clemente and San Pietro in Vincoli basilicas are in about 30 min walking. And staff was very friendly and kind. Thank you.

Nothing to complain

This is such an underrated hotel in Rome! For the rooftop alone the Domus Sessoriana really delivers. The rooms are basic but spacious and the whole building is really beautiful with a lot of history. We were able to get around Rome easily and the staff were helpful throughout. Our top tip is to grab some beers and a pizza and enjoy the rooftop of an evening, great views and you save a lot of money. Great hotel, we will return should we visit Rome again.

If we had to choose anything, make sure you get a receipt when you pay your tourist tax. Ours was not recorded as paid on checkout but the staff were incredibly helpful and sorted this for us.

Location is superb for all of the top city attractions. There is a mini supermarket only 5 mins away. Beautiful building and breakfast included was more than adequate. Cereal, yoghurt, tea coffee cold juice or water, breads meat cheese, cakes deffo something for everyone.

Air conditioning was good but the room was huge so didn't reach where the bed was. The toilet seat was broken. It would have been amazing if there was a mini fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. Most people I presume choose this hotel for the location; with a fridge to put cold drinks in and a kettle would go a long way.

I liked the basilica right next to our room,I didn't even have to leave the premises to go to a beautiful place of worship.The roof top terrace had an awesome view while eating breakfast. Watch out if you leave the table with food on your plate ,I ran to get more napkins and a pigeon got my croissant.I went to get a new one and he acted like it was GOLD and reluctantly gave me a replacement.

Our quadruple room was by the yard ,men drilling woke us up at 9 am the second day ,the people across the room were pretty loud after 11 pm which surprised us considering it used to be an ancient monastery .There were ants crawling in the room that managed there way through the screened in window and even got in my purse.There were homeless people hanging out not to far from our room which was just to the right of the entrance .During the day I was on the bed watching TV and some one attempted to open the door .The place gave me the creeps.

Location is Ok, it is not in the center, but relatively close to metro (700m). Nice walking park on the way to the metro. A booth with a free cold and sparkling water near the hotel. We asked to check out late and they agreed to let us use the room until 18:00 for extra charge. This was very helpful. The room was huge, but the furniture very old. There were scratches on the walls. Air conditioner was very good, facilities Ok. A nice terrace on the roof for breakfast (we also went there in the evening to sit down and relax). A safe in the room.

No minibar. The toilet is with the bath cabin, but the mirror and sink are outside the room, with is odd. The breakfast is very poor. No vegetables, no eggs. It is being served piece by piece. You have to ask for a piece of bread (or two), and cheese. There are also some cake or cruasson and yoghurt. And coffee or juice. And if you are lucky, you can get an apple. But you need to ask for it. The building is very old but it has an elevator. It goes slow, but shakes when it starts and ends, which is kind of scary.

The location was fantastic - very central , right next to Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano. There were many restaurants and coffee shops around as well as great public transport connections. The staff was very polite and friendly and helped us a lot with booking a cab as well as holding safe our luggage. The rooms were clean and daily service kept them neat. We loved the vibe of the old monastery as well as the architecture and its history. Its view from the terrace was amazing and the whole archaeological complex was magnificent. Comfy beds and desks and chairs as well as renovated bathrooms.

Breakfast was very poor for a 3* hotel. We were definitely expecting breakfast staples like: eggs, omelette, bacon, more fruit, muesli, different types of bread, sausages, some veggies etc. Just a note to management : if you fix your breakfast options and you include more European choices then it would be well worth it. Also, it was slightly cold in the room with temperature set by central heating which the system did not allow me to change.

The location was exceptional. The staff was incredibly responsive and attentive. They spoke enough English to make my stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast was a real bonus. The attitude of the staff was so professional. I felt like I was staying at a very pricy place. This was an incredible value, and I am already planning my return here.

Nothing. There were mini-markets close by, restaurants were everywhere, and the buses, metro and taxis were so accessible.

Location, staff were great. Nice to have breakfast included. We asked if we could change rooms as we were there for 4 nights and we heard that some rooms had a balcony. A room was found for us and for a small supplement we were able to move rooms.

It was lovely to have a drink on our balcony and on the rooftop terrace. It would have been nice to have a glass in the room and not just paper cups. We managed to get some plastic cups but were unable to buy any glasses.

Cool air, shower, access to water and transportation, the staff were excellent. I enjoyed the free concerts and the opportunity to attend daily Mass in a beautiful setting. I loved having breakfast on the terrace. The staff was very helpful with assisting transportation to the airport.

No wifi in the rooms.

Large room and very quiet. Could have done with an extra chair. The building itself was spectacular. Staff all very polite and helpful. Off the beaten tourist track but easy walk into central (Ancient) Rome and a short, cheap tram-ride back from Colosseum to the front door.

More provision of places to put things in the bathroom! Lack of dining/drinking facilities other than breakfast despite a fabulous roof top terrace.
