Domus Giulia

Io e mia moglie siamo stati qui di recente. Penso che dipenda dalla stanza che prendi, noi avevamo una stanza che si affacciava sul Lungotevere che è una strada estremamente trafficata ed era piuttosto rumorosa anche con i tappi per le orecchie. Non è colpa dell'hotel, ma penso che le persone dovrebbero esserne consapevoli e potrebbero non rendersi conto di quanto sia trafficata una strada fino al loro arrivo. Se ti trovi più all'interno dovresti stare bene, ma non era raro sentire le ambulanze numerose volte al giorno e per tutta la notte poiché è vicino a un ospedale. Ho contato e c'erano 9 sirene dell'ambulanza nel periodo da quando siamo arrivati ​​in albergo la sera a quando ci siamo svegliati. Da quanto ho potuto vedere non ci sono ascensori, quindi trasportare i bagagli su e giù per 2-3 rampe di scale potrebbe essere scoraggiante per gli anziani. I letti erano un po' rigidi/elastici e sento che è qualcosa che potrebbe essere migliorato e letti migliori. La prossima volta soggiornerei altrove, ma in una piazzola funziona

Had a wonderful 4-night stay at Domus Giulia for the May half-term. Three of us (Mum, Dad, teenager), stayed in a family room, with one queen(?)-sized bed and one single. Room was spacious and clean, with good bathroom and shower facilities. Beds were made up each morning while we were out. Good hanging space for clothes; no drawers though, which didn’t bother us. Facility to make tea and coffee, and hairdryer provided. Breakfast was continental-style (fruit, croissants, cold meats, bread, etc) with option of scrambled or fried eggs. Lovely strong coffee! Only thing about breakfast is that it starts at 7.45am, so if you are going on an early visit somewhere (as we did to the Vatican), you’ll need to make other plans for breakfast that day. The wonderful lady at the desk could not have been more helpful, from leaving very clear instructions for our arrival (as a Bed & Breakfast, the desk does not always have someone there), to pointing us in the right directions as needed, to arranging for a taxi to get us back to the airport. We accepted the offer of their transport service on arrival. At 65 euros, it’s not the cheapest, but it saved the hassle of trying to find the entrance, which is not obvious! But as I say, very clear instructions, including photos, were sent to us beforehand, so there were no problems getting to our room even though it was ‘after hours.’ Check in was completed the following morning, and we paid the Rome tourist tax (6 euros per person per day) when checking out. Domus Giulia is a lovely, affordable place to stay for a few nights. It’s close to the Vatican, and also to stop number 6 for the hop-on-hop-off buses, which also stop near the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, etc. It’s by the river, and a main road, but with the window closed, the traffic didn’t bother us that much, although that may be because of being tired every night after full days! We would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Rome.
