Guest Reviews

• Cenzino.73 (9/5): -
• olmo (10/5): Ottima soluzione per Prati e Trionfale - Pulita e comoda, tutto nuovo, bagno ottimo, molto comoda, per check in e posizione. Silenziosa.
• Candace (10/5): -
• Adriana (9/5): -
• Adèle (8/5): Chambre dans un appartement vers le Vatican - La chambre se situe dans un appartement qui inclut un couloir (voir photo avec les sièges et le mur de rose) et 4 autres chambres La chambre est bien, le personnel réactif et accueillant et idéalement situé vers le Vatican L’isolation sonore dans le bâtiment, difficile de dormir au delà de 8:30 le matin à cause des voisins qui claquent la porte et qui discutent dans le couloir ou du personnel qui parle fort Heureusement, la rue n’est pas trop passante, a part un soir où il y avait une fête juste en dessus de la chambre Une bouilloire serait la bienvenue La taxe de séjour se paye en laissant l’argent dans l’appartement pour que le personnel de ménage le récupère
• Maria jose (9/5): Excelente - Ubicación excelente, confortable, excelente la limpieza La falta de una cafetera y/o pava eléctrica ya que no contaba con desayuno. Poder prepararse un té en la habitación es muy relajante, luego de caminar por la ciudad
• Antonio (10/5): - C’è stato un piccolo inconveniente causato da me ma grazie alla disponibilità della struttura si è risolto nel migliore dei modi

• Bartolomeo (9/5): Ottima posizione per Vaticano - Posizione, spazi, pulizia, disponibilità servizi Niente
• eleonora (10/5): - Camere molto pulite e personale disponibile, soprattutto la signora Gabriela. Ascensore non accessibile.
• ALVARO FRANCISCO (10/5): Extraordinario. me encantó. Feliz alojaría nuevamente. está al lado del Vaticano. - Me gustó mucho la limpieza y la habitación es super cómoda talvez la llegada a una hora de noche fue mas complejo porque esto esta ubicado dentro de un edificio de Deptos u oficinas. No es rconocible desde el exterior, no está bien señalizado.
• Bigleathershoes (10/5): - Great location, great sized room. Lovely sized comfortable bed. Nothing

• irem (10/5): - Ottaviano metro durağından 6-7 dk yürüme mesafesinde. Yakınında birçok pizzacı, restaurant var. Oda yeterli büyüklükte ve temizdi. Sadece doğrudan muhatap olduğumuz bir görevli yoktu, bizi whats apptan yönlendirdi. Vatikanda kalmak isteyenler için tavsiye ederim

• Guest (10/5): - Bardzo miły, pomocny właściciel Jedyny - to brak żelazka 🙂
• Solin (10/5): -
• Luca (10/5): -
• Jana (9/5): - Es war absolut solide, sauber und zufriedenstellend! Der Check-in hat problemlos funktioniert. Die Lage war super!
• Aleksandr (10/5): Wonderful please to stay - Great location and wonderful service. Extremely friendly staff, clean room. It’s basic but great for the money
• Viorica (10/5): -
• Roberta (9/5): -
• Radoslav (10/5): Great place to stay near the Vatican. Remote check-in. Plenty of parkings - Location, cleaninness and comfort - all very good. Parking on the street right in front of the building - cost €4 per 8h. The fridge was a bit small, but was not a big issue for us.
• Emma (8/5): Very good - The property was about a five minute walk to the Vatican with lots of lovely bars & restraints nearby. Fairly close to central Rome, we chose to rent the Lime bikes to make the trip faster. The property was good value for money, the owner was fast at responding to any questions that we had. We enjoyed our stay, thank you 😊
• Gizem (8/5): Very good -
• Michaela (8/5): Very good -
• Vidal (10/5): Exceeded our expectations. - The cleanliness is top tier. The communication between us and host was amazing. Very welcoming and ready to satisfy our needs. The location is perfect for our planned day trips.
• Anisa (9/5): Superb - In a great location (this is an area in Rome were I would always stay), easily accessible. Very clean and they had daily cleaning service (which you would dissmis in case you didn't want). The tiny refrigerator but well, it wasn't promised otherwise. I found it funny actually 😅
• Nenad (10/5): There’s no place like H…Rome. - Great position, clean and super comfortable bed. Not to forget great communication.
• Anna (10/5): Clean, quiet, and excellent value stay - Good location, exceptionally clean. The woman who took care of upkeep and the cleaning was very kind and welcoming. Pillows are very flat! Could use an additional pillow per guest.
• Andrei (9/5): Good value for money - Good location A little bit noisy in the morning
• Petra (9/5): Superb -
• Oscar (10/5): Very happy would recommend. - Very well maintained and clean close to Vatican sites. Very nice property. Shower was too small. Mini fridge was also too small and did not cool.
• Aliaksei (1/5): Beware, this may be a hotel scam. - All positive feelings were nullified by what happened. I strongly advise against anyone taking the risk of staying at this hotel. Returning late in the evening the day before departure, we received a message from the hotel that we had done something to the plumbing and that they would repair it tomorrow and demand compensation from us. Of course, we had not done anything to the plumbing ourselves. There were obvious traces of chemicals. Most likely, their cleaner had screwed up and pinned it on us. But their statement about compensation sounded completely unfriendly and unappealing. So much so that I fully admit that this is a form of fraud. It was 10 pm, we had our last day in the city and I tried to imagine how they would demand compensation from us. There was no personal contact with the hotel staff. The only scenario I could see was that they would block access to our things in the room and demand payment for something we did not do. I understood that Booking would be on my side in this matter, but my personal safety and the safety of my things were at stake. I was forced to leave the hotel early and we rented another place for the last night. When I informed the hotel about this and said that I would mention all this in the review, they began to communicate much more politely and said that they just wanted to clarify "how the damage to the plumbing occurred." But I will add a screenshot of the correspondence to the review so that you understand the wording they used to communicate with you. I tried to contact Booking customer support, but all I got was that they reassured me that I was not responsible for the damage and that they would warn the hotel not to touch our things. I was absolutely not ready to risk whether the hotel would listen to this request from Booking or not. I do not advise you to risk it either.
• Javiera (1/5): Cold, smelly and rude host - Good location It had cigarette smell, the bed wasn't confortable and had dirty cushions. it was very cold and the air didn't work properly. The first day we didn't have housekeeping because there wasn't anyone available, that was the explanation. The host was very rude and violent when he wrote a message for us because we left the air on when we weren't there (it was so cold and humid). The tax they made us leave was $7 per person per day, in other places it was $5.
• André (10/5): Exceptional -
• Siria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jeremias (8/5): Very good - Central location, nice equipment, friendly host, very clean It is noisy on Fridays and Saturdays because there is a disco in the underground. You can also hear the noise of other guests watching TV at night.
• Ahmad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Evan (9/5): Awesome stay with some (significant) drawbacks - There were two aspects of our stay that were quite upsetting, though they were beyond the control of the accommodation. Firstly, there was a significant amount of construction happening in the area, occasionally starting as early as 7 a.m. Secondly, there was an extremely strong odour emanating from the plumbing, which filled the entire room. To manage it, we had to keep the bathroom door closed and place a towel over the cracks. While I understand this is a common issue in older apartment buildings and not necessarily the fault of the hosts, it was still quite unpleasant.
• Ugnė (9/5): Great location and cosy place. - The property was clean and comfortable, all of the furniture seemed to be new and very well maintained, the staff was friendly and the host was super responsive, explained how to reach the place in great detail so we had no difficulties. The location was great, close to Vatican and in walkable distance from the Rome city center, also the metro and bus stations are close to the place so it was easy to reach the Termini train station. The smell coming from the drainage in the shower wasn’t good and you could also hear the noise from the corridor when other guests would be locking the doors or talking, but these are just minor drawbacks which in general didn’t really affected our stay.
• Sofie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mehmet (10/5): Good place for Rome trip - It was at the good location very close to the metro, by walking you can reach to centre in 30 min. Host was very helpful, you make self check-in. There are several cafes, restaurants, markets around the place. Room was clean and nice, overall it was comfortable stay for us. Small fridge in the room could be more functional, it doesn’t make enough cooling.
• Edna (10/5): Great experience - Everything was fine, the apartment is very clean and location is great. Vatican is cca 5minutes away There are no keys for doors, there is an app which sometimes doesn’t work.
• Hammad (8/5): Very good -
• Magdalena (10/5): A little gem in Roma - Clean and convenient location! Excellent sound proofing!
• In (9/5): Comfort, clean and safe - The staff, Carmine, is a very nice person who will care about your arrival and departure, certainly helpful and take care of anything you need her, also the location is very good 👍 Juz refrigerator, so small , ha ha 😝
• Assaf (10/5): Exceptional - Great host, helped us with everything we needed
• Saeed (8/5): Great place to stay if you don't need to prepare food - clean, quiet, easy to access, great communication, great air conditioning and wifi, good location (close to Vatican) tiny fridge (only fits a few small water bottles), no kitchenette (not even a microwave or basic dishes) -- but to be fair, it was not advertised either.
• Anxhela (8/5): Very good -
• Xiaolan (8/5): Overall nice experience! - The room was spacious and clean. Very close to Vatican, good neighborhood, many nice restaurants. It will take some time to download an app and figure out how to open the door for the first time.
• Marina (10/5): Perfect stay - Everything was perfect. Big room, comfortable bed, perfect location, not noisy at all. 10/10
• Ivan (10/5): Exceptional - The location of the room is fantastic, its near a bunch of restaurants, good restaurants right from the entrance and generally in the proximity of every main alteration. The location itself is a plus as the room itself is very good for the price. Its very clean with all the amenities, towels, shampoos and water in within thr mini fridge (a nice bonus if you're not used to the extreme heat of time during the summer) and with air conditioning. The entire entrance process is taken care of via WhatsApp, with clear instructions and without the need to interact with the owner personally. All the other comments fail to mention how good the matress was (key after a long day out in room ) N/a
• Eva (8/5): We han a nice stay overall - Good location, clean and the host let us stay one extra hour at check out. The fridge was extremely small, not even a water bottle could fit in.
• Leizel (10/5): I will definitely come back here and will surely recommend to my friends and family - What i like most about this property is the care for the guest.. Carmine is a very accomodating person and she is very nice. She will make sure that you will reach your room. Location is walking distance to vatican. The room is so amazing. Well maintained and immaculately clean. Actually nothing..
• Marcelo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Beatriz (10/5): Lovely room close to the Vatican - Lovely room close to the Vatican and to the metro. It’s newly renovated and we had a comfortable stay. Delicious burgers just across (Cult Burger), must-try! The Check-in process was a challenge as we cannot access wifi. It would have been seamless with internet connection. Still our stay was not dampened by this. :)
• Sanel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniella (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptionally clean, modern room. Great communication with staff, were very accommodating. Beautiful location in the Prati area away from the chaos.
• Chris (9/5): Superb - All very good! The check in process was a massive pain ! Had to download an app...I have done easier escape rooms haha
• Roisin (9/5): Superb - Location is great, near the metro and 5 minutes walk to the Vatican. Lots of good restaurants nearby and feels less touristy than the areas across the river. 30 minute walk to Trastevere. Room is clean and comfortable, aircon works perfectly, bed was comfortable (firm mattress). Carmine was really helpful and responsive to any questions. The kitchen facilities were quite basic (but fine for our stay), some coffee and milk would be nice. The fridge is very small and doesn't fit a large bottle of water.
• Andrea (9/5): Perfect stay at the apartment room in Rome. - It is very clean and has good air conditioning we really like definitely a must with the heat outside coming from the tour around Rome. The room has a a big smart TV to watch Netflix at night, which makes it very cozy. The staff was very responsive when we have some difficulty getting inside the facility and the staff checks on you from time to time (not in an annoying way) The towel has a bit of smell but very tolerable. Did not also expect it is an apartment with 2 other shared rooms but no issues or whatsoever with the other guests during the whole stay.
• Fabio (8/5): Very good - Good
• Francis (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, good WiFi, spacious, clean and modern
• Lars (9/5): We recommend it! - The modern take on it. Amenities. Relatively close to town and sights. Good restaurants close by and excellent old bookstore (Pocket2000) close by if you are interested in comics (99% and in italian of course) easy and fast response from the landlord. Very nice indeed! The rather messy way of getting in. The front door was only opened with the app. One day we totally ran out of power on our phones. (Thick old walls is not kind to cell power). We had the keys. But had to buy a charger and cable to recharge and find a location for it before we could get in again. The place could be equipped with some additional hooks/wall hangers to keep stuff from the floor. The bed was a bit too hard. The very effective AC could have had a manual 😅 close by. It became very cold or very damp if not used correctly.
• Avionipevaju (9/5): Superb -
• Junyao (10/5): Very good, worth choosing - I am very satisfied with Domus Iulius, whether in terms of price, location or service. The location of the hotel is very good, you can reach the Vatican City in about 10 minutes' walk. The room is spacious and not noisy, so you can get a good night's sleep after a day of sightseeing. It is worth mentioning that the lady in charge of cleaning is very professional and you will get a brand new room every day. The landlord is also very friendly and will contact you every day to ensure that you receive the best service. If I were to return to Rome, I would choose Domus Iulius again without hesitation.
• Tania (10/5): Great. - Everything was new, very clean, spacious, great location in a beautiful neighborhood next to the metro and a lot of bus stations to a lot of places. Carmine was an excellent host, replied super quickly. Easy access by app. The building entering instructions should be more specific before arrival.
• Giuseppe (8/5): Very good -
• Jennifer (9/5): Superb - The location was great, and the room was simple but clean and perfect for our needs.
• Kamila (10/5): Exceptional - Modern, clean and spacious, very well located. Staff was helpful and available, check-in easy and flexible. Would highly recommend:) What would be useful: numbers on the room doors as we weren't sure which one is ours :)
• Tenhobi (10/5): The perfect place for Rome and Vatican stay - Perfect location in walking distance to Vatican, and very close (walking or bus/metro) to city center. Room is clean, cozy and it was quiet outside. The host was very helpful. I would definitely recommend you this place! Nothing.
• Milena (10/5): Loved the stay! - It was very clean, the room was spacious and it was very quiet so we had a good rest. The neighborhood is lovely with a lot of shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Carmine is very nice and always open for communication. If we come back to Rome, we will definitely choose this acommodation again! /
• Natasha (10/5): Exceptional - Great location for this small aparthotel (basically apartment with 4 rooms), just 3 minutes from Vatican museum, beautiful area with subway station very close by, nice restaurants and coffe shops around. The room itself is brand new, very clean and spacious enough with good quality soundproof windows and its own bathroom. The owner is very nice, sent all the details before check-in and was in touch throughout the whole stay for any questions. I definitely recommend this place! Just keep in mind that there is no hairdryer and kettle in the room.
