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

Notre séjour s’est très bien passé. Le lieu est magnifique. Le personel (accueil, femme de ménage etc) est très gentil. Bon petit déjeuner. PS : Le matelas était toutefois un peu dur pour moi. Je sentais les lattes.

Pas de lobby ou de coin sympa lorsqu’il fait très chaud. La terrasse a une superbe vue mais trop exposée lors de fortes chaleurs. 2 distributeurs de boissons dans un couloir sombre en ´sous-sol’ Les chambres sont très propres et le personnel charmant.

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

This is a beautiful church, famous for its crucifixion relics, with a monastery wrapped around it. Don’t think of it as a hotel! But it does have a roof top terrace. The room that we were given was one of 2 that were in the church. The other 81 rooms were in the monastery. From what I can tell, the other rooms might be okay. Ours was a cell, with a small circular window that didn’t open. We discovered that this cell was one of the two rooms that were within the actual church! We thought it was quirky, but would have liked an opening window to have had some fresh air. All the staff were brilliant. The breakfast was very basic - mainly bread, cheese, ham, yoghurt and cereal. Not great, but adequate - and in keeping with the austere food that one might expect in a monastery. The site was a bit out from the centre of Rome, but trams stopped outside, and the nearest Metro station, St Giovanni, was just a 10 minute walk away. I grew fond of it, and would stay again. But would look for a more traditional hotel, nearer to Terme train station, next time.

Yes, the room is basic, but the quirkiness of the hotel made up for that. Despite it being basic the room was clean, everything worked, the shower was hot, the breakfast was typical continental and plentiful, the staff were friendly and attentive. The roof garden was a little piece of tranquility and every night guests sat up there with a glass of wine talking about their day in Rome and plans for the next. If you want a hotel converted from a medieval monastery attached to ruins of an amphitheatre and circus which is a 25 minute walk from the coliseum then this is for you. If you want a modern bed and fittings then maybe find the Italian version of Travelodge for the same budget.
