 We thought that the lovely facilities were under-utilised. For instance, there is a lovely rooftop terrace with breathtaking views of the city: why not put some tables and chairs up there,or perhaps an eaterie of some kind? We were led to believe that the hotel had a bar: it was disappointing that this turned out NOT to be the case; the rooms had mini-bars, but its not quite the same. Nevertheless, everything was great, no complaints. Probably a hotel more suitable for mature travellers(perhaps 30-40+?).
 
2. From: Sharon C., United States
 Date of Stay: January, 2007
 Since the hotel is in a monastery, the walls are really thin and you can hear people all the time walking in the hallways and talking. The service is not great at all and my overall experience was not at all what I expected. If you can, stay at a hotel where there are more amenities for the same price.
 
3. From: Alison Collins, United Kingdom
 Date of Stay: August, 2007
 Certainly a hotel with atmosphere, it is part of a monastry which has testefully converted. We would recommend the three day travel card available from the hotel (and the no.3 bus which runs frequently outside the hotel) - it's really good value if you want to explore. The little museum for musical instruments behind the hotel is worth a visit.
 
4. From: Abaigael Keegan, United Kingdom

 A wonderful hotel in the south east of the city, within a 15 minute walk of the colosseum and 5 minutes away from the nearest metro station. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated. The staff were really friendly and breakfast was lovely. Good value (for Rome).
 
5. From: Peter Szoboszlay, Hungary
 Date of Stay: February, 2007
 If you are in Rome... Excellent architectural an cultural situation within the baroque building of an active temple and monastery. There is an exciting combination of contemporary interior design and the fresco decorated ancient walls in the lobby and the stairway.

 The hotel was quite far from the centre of Rome which made for a long walk from the Termini through somewhat questionable neighbourhood at night. The room was very small, especially for the price paid.
 
8. From: Gantt Tammy
 Date of Stay: September, 2006
 The staff was warm and welcoming (speak many languages). I had a lot of luggage so the directions from the metro stop to the church were not as good as I would have liked. It's actually a right in front of the large church toward the park, the gentle walk by the park...then the Domus which is in the St Croce of Jerusalem...is there at the end of the park. Not far, just easier once you know you are going the right direction. Down the street in front was a great pizza/restaurant with food from Napoli..very good. Friendly service (Aida Angelini) open late. At Via G, Sommeiller, 6 Hostaria Degli Artisti (email hostariadegliartisti@hotmail.com) The place was very clean and the sites in church alone were amazing..relics room had a piece of the cross. The garden deck was super for the view and at night many of the guests sat up there enjoying the breeze (we all had AC). Internet connection was a lifesaver and I got a card for a small price at the desk to use it. Just a note about the tour company VAS Tours that has brochures at the place - they do sightseeing tours of Rome...okay but I heard many complaints from those on VAS tours-- they did not stop everywhere on the night tour as planned and the Sistine Chapel tour was more like a cattle call -- no priority to the group. It was ok for me, but others were not thrilled. The monks have a quaint gift shop in the church with homemade preserves, etc...they are really nice. Late night, I found the monks chasing a rat out of the church entry with brooms, and later at 1 am they were scrubbing graffiti from the city buses out front. (no worry the rat was not staying there...just ran in from the park by mistake!) The rooms were nice and clean. Mine was a single but still a good size, the bathroom was huge. Nice view overlooking the garden. Be prepared, there is a lift, but a few stairs up then down to get there...a very long hallway if you are at the end. I was at the end and up another spiral stairs, then at the end

 We spent four marvellous days in March at Hotel Domus Sessoriana. We have visited Rome a few times before but this was the first time our visit was complete. The atmosphere of the hotel sent us back to the Roman empire, medieval Rome, Bernini's Rome - as well as modern Rome. In addition we experienced excellent service at the reception, a fantastic view from the roof terrace, a spacious, clean, simple and elegant room, nice breakfast and - above all - marvellous architecture and atmosphere all over. It was certainly not the last time we used Domus Sessoriana as base camp for the exploration of Rome.

 Good value for money, not very close to the down town but with very good acces to the underground and also to the tram (5-10 minutes to the colisseo). I would recomend it
 
11. From: Hanna Gilli
 Date of Stay: January, 2006
 Lovely space, very individual. Tram No 3 is a life line to the centre of things, as well as the metro. The pumped air made a background noise that bothered us a bit, but otherwise a great place to stay as long as you don't mind a little bit of a hike to get back to hotel. Do go and look at the relics in the basilica and the exhibition of Nene the little girl who is being sanctified. Excellent breakfast.
 
12. From: Snildal Rune
 Date of Stay: January, 2006
 We spent 4 nights at the end of 2005 at Domus Sessoriana. We liked the hotel. Being almost inside the basicilca gives it a nice atmosphere. Good breakfast, helpful staff, large room. A couple of drawbacks though: the water wasn't as hot as we would have liked it to be, specially in the morning. The location is all right for visiting sights. Bus stop right outside and not far from the Metro. It's a bit unconvenient to return at night though. We didn't realize that some buses stopped early in the evening and the Metro stops at about midnight. This resulted in a couple of unplanned taxitrips (10-12 Euro).
 
13. From: Fritsch Manuel
 Date of Stay: December, 2005
 The only tiny little hickup about the Domus Sessoriana is that it is located somewhat off the centre.
 
14. From: Stephan Gerald
 Date of Stay: December, 2005
 Loved our stay. Great b'fasts, especially the granola, blueberry yogurt and fresh coffee. Such an interesting place, helpful friendly staff, beautiful cathedral, spacious accommo-dations, lovely view from the rooftop terrace, and the monks make and sell wonderful liquer and chocolates. We are sending all our friends here. Just know the hotel is NOT marked other than small gold lettering on a plain door (NOT obvious) to the right of the cathedral's main entrance. Tell your taxi driver you want to go to Santa Croce in Gerusalemme (Sacred Heart Cathedral).
 
15. From: Casson Neil
 Date of Stay: October, 2005
 Been here before and would come back again. Unique hotel in a good location for public transport (bus/tram/metro)to the central attractions of Rome. Sad that it situated in a bit of a run down area which suffers from grafitti and litter (like most of Rome). Some good local restaurants nearby together with a very accommodating bar directly opposite - recommended. Roof terrace is excellent for watching Roman sunsets with a bottle of wine.

 I liked the Domus Sessoriana very much. It's a bit off the centre but there are at least three bus lines running past it and more from the near Lateran Church. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and the historic building is impressive. The hotel itself is quiet but the busy streets are audible when the windows are open. Great view from the roof terrace. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly and spoke English. Breakfast was good and filling. No bar or inhouse restaurant but there are a couple of reasonable restaurants nearby. An excellent place to explore the city from.

 It is an interesting place to stay. Very nice, but a little sparse in the way of services (which may have to be expected from a converted monastary). I would recommend it for short visits, but after a few days the lack of restaurants/bars starts to wear on you

 It was great... just make sure you don't confuse "Via" and "Piazza," otherwise you'll wander up and down the former in confusion. The air conditioner did not work very well in the room we stayed in the first night, so it was a bit warmer than we would have liked, but upon mentioning this to the front desk, they switched us to another room at the same rate for the second night, and it was just fine. Rooms are small, as are most non-luxury European hotel rooms, and in the second room we were in, the bathroom sink was only useable if the bathroom door was shut. However, there was enough space overall. It was surprisingly quiet, despite being firmly within the city boundaries. Breakfast buffet was German, not Italian, standard - plenty of rolls, ham and cheese, jams and Nutella, cereal and yogurt.
