it is good
I stayed there for three days Location: good, ten minutes walking distance far from the Colossium 3 minutes walking distance from the bus stop it is located in a very calm neighbourhood the hotel is an apartment inside a resident decades old building so you are a kind of experiencing the real residency in Rome the receptionists were so helpful asking answering my questions breakfast is to be deliverd to your room on the time you request between specific hours and it is good it is rather a kid of house rather than a fancy hotel cleanliness was ok but now wow it is a bit dark in the night to walk in that area but i was coming back so late and no issue happened it is close also to some ancient heritages of old rome overall it was good but little expensive

We liked our room very much. We had a bottle of wine on our private porch that runs the length of two sides of our room. There was a cool breeze blowing through our room while we enjoyed the view and relaxed one afternoon. Our bed was comfortable and we liked the bookcases full of books on a myriad of subjects.

Amazing staff, Nice room and a wonderful breakfast
The staff is so warm and welcoming and really go out of their way to make sure your stay is enjoyable and easy. The breakfast they served was very nice and we had a different meal every morning for the 3 days that we were there. The only downside is that you are away from the main tourist attractions, but if you are open to walking or taking public transit I highly recommend this place. :)

It's ugly hotel within an apartments
It's a hotel inside an apartment. So just imagine an apartment unit is broken down into several rooms and made into a hotel. Besides, the environment is literally not safe, this means that there are a bunch of drunk boys who stares at girls like they haven't see one before plus the lift to the hotel smells like as in someone has pee in it. This hotel is literally a down market kinda hotel. No breakfast, no security and the rooms looks like a freaking cell.

The hotel has excellent location - pretty close to Colosseo and at the same time away from the tourist busyness. The nearby bus 81 gives a convenient way to reach Piazza Venezia, Piazza Navona and even San Pietro (although the bus is not so regular). The neighbouring area east of the Colosseo is packed with good not-touristy places for dinner. Not at the last - a clean and quiet hotel with a really friendly service.

Good location for walking to coloseum and bus
Only negative is getting into place on arrival . Metal locked Gate entrance with intercom which is not always answered. Staff have limited English. Otherwise excellent continental breakfast. Quiet clean room off beaten track. All you need to have comfortable rest after sightseeing. Would stay here again.

AMAZING PLACE!
Anna was an amazing host! We arrived at the B&B and accidentally forgot one of our cell phones in the taxi cab. Anna immediately called the taxi call center for us and, eventually, we were able to retrieve it. The room was small but very comfortable for what we needed. Breakfast was plentiful and excellent. On our last day we had to leave before breakfast was served and Anna left a voucher four us to get breakfast at a very close cafe. Amazing! Very quiet neighborhood, perfect for people who don't mind sacrificing some space, but who still enjoy great service, comfort and quality. I would come back here without a doubt!

60th birthday surprise 5 day visit
Quiet location, 6/7 minute walk from the coliseum and Baths of Caracalla. Local bus service close by which provides good access into the old city, alternatively 40 minute walk which was my preferred choice as you get the chance to see the sights at your own pace. There is so many things to do you need a minimum 7 day holiday to fit it all in. Be careful there are many street vendors trying to sell overpriced tickets avoiding the queues at the main attractions. We found queues took no more than 15 min with some venues free e.g St Peters Basilica and tickets upto half the cost of the so called "beat the queue tickets.

Amazing value and great outside space
We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is spacious and comfortable with everything you need and more. The decor and facilities were to a very high standard. The kitchen was very well equipped and the huge balcony/terrace was lovely to sit out and have breakfast and drinks. The staff we met were helpful and friendly. They assisted us in organising a taxi and looking after our luggage for the day when we had checked out. The location is a little outside the city centre, but in 15 minutes walk you can be at the Colosseum. We took a bus from the train station when we arrived in Rome, which was quick and simple (you buy your ticket from the newsagent in the station then there are timetables and an information point outside). There is also a bus (number 81 I think) that goes from the end of the hotel street straight to Vatican City. The 'hotel' is apartments within a residential building, so could be a little more difficult to find, but we didn't have any problems. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish it could have been longer, highly recommended.

Perfect Hotel!
Absolutely perfect! Friendly and highly informative staff. Great location; only a short walk to the Colosseum. Reliable taxi that they can arrange (if you're going to take a cab from the airport I recommend using the one that Dormus Caracalla can book for you. We tried a random one and he pretended to be lost and that his gps wasn't working - I had to direct him using google maps on my phone...). They explained the bus to us, the route it takes, how much and where to buy a ticket - very handy if you're going to Vatican City. The room was very spacious and charming. I would highly recommend this place!!!

A Gem!
We stayed for 2 nights. We loved it. 15 min walk to the Colosseum and 10 min walk to some great restaurants. Room was great, good breakfast and a great balcony. The location feels hidden away in a residential area which is a plus. Will stay here again!

Good hotel and location. Reception not much help.
Domus Caracalla is a pretty good budget hotel. As previous reviews mention, it's a good 10mins walk uphill from the Colosseum. I would google map the street and also review some of the exterior images (this will make it easier to find). We found the breakfast to be ideal. A great start to the day. We were disappointed with our room (Room 4), I believe it's the only one without a balcony, and since we were staying for 5 x nights (during my birthday), we were gutted not to eat breakfast out there. The two ladies on Reception seemed smiley and very nice, however it was difficult to get information regarding getting to the airport (Ciampino) from them (non committal and trying to sell taxis for 50 euro). To anyone travelling to and from this airport, we recommend the Terravision buses - they are only 6 euro one way, but word of caution: remember to buy the bus ticket in a Terravision café in Termini - you won't get on the bus without a pre-bought ticket.

Nice hotel
This place was really nice and the staff was very friendly. The only problem we had was the staff was not there when we arrived. Since we were from out of the country we did not have mobile phone service to call. We had to walk the street looking for someone who would let us use their phone. Luckily we found some nice people from Canada who had international phone service and let us call the hotel to notify a staff member to let us in. Once we did that and got into our room everything was perfect. I loved the balcony view.

Very clean B&B
This is a B&B, but the rooms are much bigger and very clean. Apart from the fact that there are only 6 or 7 rooms the place can easily be ranked as 4.5 - star hotel. The desk is not manned 24/7 but the staff will make every effort for you to get into your room any time you arrive. I arrived after mid-night yet i managed to get into my room without a problem. Just respond to their email on time and all will be sorted. Again, breakfast is served in rooms and they come over to clean after. Great staff, very helpful with tourist information and cleaning. For cleanliness I will rank them 5-start. Great place to stay, i enjoyed it and would book it again on my next visit to Rome.

Small but charming
Really nice hotel. At first it looks like your entering a rough housing block but it's actually quite nice. Everything is locked up but that can be overcome. Tiny elevator at back to take you to the b&b and then you enter and it's there. Staff were so friendly and welcoming, happy to help with anything. The rooms are a bit scuffed here and there but they are cleaned. For the price it's perfect for 1 or 2 people.
Genuinely a creepy picture but didn't bother me

So lovely
My husband and I traveled throughout Italy for our honeymoon and stayed at this hotel during our time in Rome. It was absolutely perfect! It's a little bit difficult to find because it just seems like a residential building, and there is no obvious sign. It simply says the name of the hotel on the tiny list of residences within the building. If you plan on arriving after hours and will not have a cell phone, I would recommend communicating with the owner ahead of time. The hotel is a short walk to the collusseum. It's across town from the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain though. But I really liked that it was in a nice quiet area away from all of the tourists. The "hotel" is a handful of rooms on one floor of this building. The rooms are very clean and have great wifi and air conditioning. The owner, Pusha, is so kind and lovely and she makes a very nice breakfast each morning to bring to your room. She was even kind enough to mail something valuable that I forgot in my room all the way back to the U.S. for me. I couldn't be more grateful! I would highly recommend staying here if you're visting Rome. We stayed in various places during our trip and this was definitely one of our favorites!

Happy choice
Chose the hotel to be close to a concert at Terme de Caracalla, a ten minute walk away. We were very happy with the choice and would highly recommend. Good restaurants nearby too, and not too far from major tourist sights but situated in a quiet residential street.

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it. We had a balcony and had our breakfast on it every morning which was a lovely start to the day, and in the evening we relaxed there with a glass of wine. The staff are really friendly and helpful and we will certainly be going back again. Its close to the centre and also the colliseum

Business traveller with meetings at FAO
I booked online, based on the price, the location in relation to where my business meetings were, and the reviews. I didn't quite know what to expect - it is a B & B rather than a hotel, but the accommodation is fine and the arrangements simple and effective. I didn't appreciate that it was important to call ahead before arrival, because Reception isn't manned full time, but it wasn't a problem, because I was able to ring on arrival.

Great little place off the beaten path
Very quaint and unbelievably great value for the price. My room was small but cozy and modern and everything you need. Breakfast was very good and arrived right on time. It's a bit difficult to find (no sign outside and you need to take the back elevator to the 6th floor). A little far from the metro (20 min walk or so) and the main sights. But for the price it can't be beat. I would stay again and also recommend to others.
