Domus Sessoriana

The staff are extremely nice and helpful. The bed is comfortable and clean. Close to the station. Nice view as well!

Nice hotel for the short staying to explore Rome

Myself and my husband stayed here for 6 days just got home yesterday. A little nervous after reading so many mixed reviews so went with an open mind. Amazing building . Our room as many others state was very basic however it was very cosy with very comfy beds . A huge wardrobe with lots of storage, a safe a fridge. Overlooking the courtyard garden with beautiful views. Yes the walls are marked and could do with an update however the room was clean and changed daily with beds made and clean towels. Someone mentioned the walls being thin and being able to hear the people in the next room however we heard nothing and no-one and so other than the endless sirens outside (no fault of the hotel of course) it was really peaceful. ☺️ The lift was broken for the first 2 days of our stay which we were advised of so it didn’t come as a surprise and was fixed by day 3 . The roof terrace is a major plus and we saw some amazing sunsets from both our room and the roof terrace and the weather during our stay was gorgeous . Breakfast was ok. I quite like the bread, ham and cheese but my husband wasn’t fussed so he had the other options of the croissants and yoghurts etc. The staff were all lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly and chatty.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Let us keep bags in the office after check out & let us go and change as we were soaked! Hotel is a little out the centre but it suited us..it meant when we went out we stayed out sightseeing. The breakfast as expected..fresh pastries, jam tarte, cake, fresh fruit, yoghurt, bread, ham, cheese and cereal. Fresh juice, good coffee. Couldn’t complain at all. The room was made up each day and towels replaced (the hand towels are a bit like a cotton tea towel) For those complaining about only being one pillow…look in the wardrobe!! No complaints about then bed, we slept very well. Fortunately the lift was working, I don’t think I would have managed the stairs if not. There is a lovely 24hr cafe opposite. We bought coffees late at night and took them to the hotel roof top where the sights were amazing. If you go into the attached church via the hotel entrance, proceed with caution..we walked in when the guests were all arriving for a funeral. We thought they were tourists and stood there taking photos of the church. It was only when we went outside we saw the he****!! Hotel is about 10 mins from metro stop. We did use taxis a couple of times…back from Spanish steps about midnight it was €13, to the colosseum in the morning was €12 and airport is €50. The hotel will call you a cab and it’s there straightaway. We couldn’t fault our stay & both said we would return again (room 209) Thank you for a pleasurable stay

A most unusual hotel off the usual tourist track although in walking distance of Rome's historic centre and convenient for Metro and trams. The Superior Rooms are large, airy and remarkably quiet. Breakfast is basic; the staff cheerful and helpful. This is not a tourist centre (though there is much to see nearby) and there are only two or three restaurants in walking distance. All are pretty good and therefore very popular with locals, so booking advised as the hotel has no restaurant or bar. Tip for travellers: the hotel will call a taxi (with set fare) to Ciampino airport. The journey takes about 25 minutes an is far easier thank trying to negotiate the metro and Rome Termini with luggage looking for the airport bus!

I genuinely do not quite know what to say. Positives; A 10 minute walk from the Metro station San Giovanni where you can literally get to all the sights on the A line. If you like to walk, 25 minutes to the Coliseum and add another for Trevi Fountain and Spanish steps. Negatives; once a monastery it is very ‘basic’. It takes about 5 minutes walk from reception, down stairs and a long corridor before reaching the lift. The room was adequate, small window, air con not effective. Basic tired bathroom. The receptionist was keen to promote the roof terrace- a lovely place with wonderful views and a modern glass central area- BUT- it has no use- there is NO bar or restaurant in the hotel, the space is used for what I can only call a very basic and oddly served breakfast, unlike other self serve hotels this has a couple of tables where two blokes (not sure even if they were staff (no uniform) gave you what you asked but the menu limited and a tip jar on the table??? There are a couple of good eateries directly opposite but little else. To say for the price it was fair, but I wouldn’t go again as it has absolutely no soul.

Had seen mixed reviews but absolutely get what you pay for here . We just wanted a base . Room was basic but clean and bathroom fine . Building itself is beautiful and the church absolutely breathtaking. Breakfast basic but again what we paid for this hotel I wouldn’t have expected much more . Rooftop terrace lovely addition with beautiful views . Staff all helpful and friendly . Because we were in a group we used Uber to get place to place but some nice restaurants etc in walking distance also .
