As a first time visitor to Italy, we wanted a place near the Vatican. This hotel exceeded our…read moreexpectations. Talk about a great location. It's just a stones throw away from the entrance of the Vatican Museums. We had paid in advance for an early access tour of the museums and Sistine Chapel. As luck would have it, the meeting point was just feet from the hotel. We really lucked out! The service was absolutely excellent. Every person we were in contact with spoke English which made it comforting and easy to check in/out. They were very welcoming. Also the front desk gave us great recommendations for restaurants in the area. We greatly appreciated their hospitality. The rooms are spacious as well as very clean. They provide the common amenities that make you feel right at home. The hotel also offers a quaint breakfast buffet for 10 Euro. Their unique offering with quality food made it completely worth the money. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone traveling to this fine country!

I will comment what I tried. Peaches - Fresh and presented in sugar water. Pears - Same thoughts as peaches. Banana - The banana was not good. It was not ripe enough to be served. Yogurt - The Italian banana yogurt. Corn Flakes - Typical. Scrambled Eggs - They were a little bland with not much flavor. Will I go back? Possibly.

Please look at the pictures and read more reviews before booking, as we were tricked into believing this was a 4 star hotel, and let me tell you 2.5 would be a generous number.

Domus Liberius is basically an Airbnb-type of self-service apartment room sharing. Not a…read morefull-service hotel. The rooms itself is not bad. Clean and well maintained. They have multiple units, and each unit has multiple rooms for rent. Each room has an individual bathroom. The beds are comfortable, and they do have daily room cleaning services. However, the office is not open 24 hours. I should say they are open only a few hours a day. You have to WhatsApp or call them for the gate access code if you're there too early or just a little later in the afternoon. I forgot Domus Liberius is on the 3rd or 4th floor. But the only elevator is tiny and old. You can walk up and down the stairs if you prefer. The main entrance to the building is a little weird. It looks old and a little scary. The building has other businesses and residences too. I do not say it is good or bad. But I hope anyone who reads this review will find out this is the type of room you are getting. You might enjoy it, or you may not. The cleaning ladies and the lady at the office are very nice and friendly. I hope you'll enjoy your stay!

The rooftop patio and bar was very nice and featured a huge complimentary breakfast. We purchased a Superior Double room which was more than enough closet, counter space, and lots of windows. It overlooked the front of the hotel and the adjacent piazza. During our afternoon naps (come on, we were on vacation!) we could hear an accordion player outside the room. Kind of creepy when he repeatedly played the theme from "The Godfather" but it added to the overall charm!

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!! I know I sounded that an…read moreinfomercial on that one but forreal. I liked everything about this place except one thing which was air conditioning. If this is your first time in Rome, I highly recommend this hotel. If you are looking for a bougie experience, then this hotel is not for you. If you are on a budget, want to have that Rome-y ancient vibe, be close to the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Pantheon, etc, then this is the place for you. We came to Rome during the President's Day weekend of 2019 so technically it is their "winter" but for some reason the weather was high 50s and mid-60s, so essentially, it was warm to have the heat in the building. So essentially, I was obviously hot and there was no way to control our own temperature so we opt in for having the balcony doors/windows open - it was very noisy outside during the night and early in the morning. But that is not a big deal to me because like I said I liked the location. Things I liked about this hotel: -taxi service. We were picked up from the airport because I did not have to have the hassle to take a train and a bus to the hotel and in those cobblestones. Flat rate fee of $50 if you are coming in during regular hours but it's $60 if you are coming in super late or super early. -great front desk staff. We were greeted with a smile as soon as we got there! The front desk is so helpful with everything! We bought bus tickets from them, booked our taxi, etc. You can also ask them for a great wealth of information you may need. Ask and they have an answer. You can leave your keys with them if you are sightseeing for the day. The front desk is 24/7 so when you come back, just say your room number, and they will give you the keys! You won't lose your keys that way! They gave us a great room on the 4th floor with a balcony overlooking the street and Hadrian's temple! -Views. If you are on the 4th floor, the view of the street is really cool. -Price. It's pretty affordable but I can see this place being expensive in the peak seasons. -Efficiency. Lots of outlets, appropriate amount of amenities, etc. Yes the bathroom and rooms are outdated but this hotel is literally next to Hadrian's Temple, like it fitted the scene. If you want new and fancy, go somewhere else. The bathroom is suffice for me in my opinion. It's got a shower, a bidet, a toilet, and a sink. Room service comes everyday to clean! It's got a tv, 2 bed stands, a huge closet, and a desk. Building has an elevator and it is next to a pharmacy so if you forgot toiletries, they gotchu next door! -Next to restaurants and 5 mins walk to the Trevi and about 7 mins walk to the Pantheon where all the restaurants are. I will stay here again when I come back to Rome!!! I actually loved this place a lot, it had everything I need plus more around the hotel. We never tried the breakfast on the top balcony but I will next time I stay here!

It's easily within…read morewalking distance of everything you'd want to see in Rome as well as a few things you'd probably rather not see, but it is safe, convenient and surprisingly for a hotel room in Rome, not noisy. If you're into to viewing ruins which, since back home I have the likes of Detroit and Newark, I'm not very much into but the Colosseo and others are within an easy walk. If you'd like to take in a good opera, the Teatro Dell' Opera is right next door. Lirico also has a rather decent buffet breakfast and the hotel staff is both competent and friendly. There are plenty of nearby restaurants, but on a cautionary note, I found the food in Rome to be the worst in all of Italy. I've hit a lot of restaurants in Rome and out of them all, including the most expensive, didn't find a single one I could honestly recommend to anyone. However, on the bright, there are nearby market places that are great, so it's easy enough to prepare your own.

The hotel is in an OK location where it feels pretty safe and isn't too noisy at all - I'd rather…read morestay in the Trastevere next time though. It is convenient in the sense that you're close to Termini. But being in Rome, you'll be walking around a lot. So IMHO, it doesn't really matter if you're close to the metro stops or train stations, you'll be walking around a lot regardless. On top of that, I'm not a big fan of the Termini area - it's just so busy and crazy around there. The hotel actually isn't right in the midst of Termini but is convenient if you're arriving to Rome at Termini. I guess most people do, so kind of a moot point. The staff were friendly overall, the breakfast was OK, and the rooms were OK too. The rooms are on the smallish side and the bathrooms are tiny - there's barely enough room to move around in those tiny stand-up stalls. Coming from Porta Faenza in Florence, this definitely was a step down. Our room wreaked of baby powder which was slightly annoying. Also, the small safe in the closet also appeared to be broken (unless I just didn't know how to use it). Didn't like the fact that the only way up to the rooms is via a lift either - it would have been nice if there were stairs to get up. Wifi is free and we had a decent signal on the 2nd or 3rd floor. They seemed to lightly push tours on us when we first got there, offering to arrange various tours, etc. We weren't interested because we already planned most stuff out. For instance, I was planning to buy a Roma Pass (30 euros). When I told the attendant I wanted to buy the pass, he offered that I could buy it from the hotel. I saw the fee on a sign they posted and it looks like they upcharge by at least a couple euros. I'm sure it's for convenience-sake, but it's not really that hard to find all the tourist information points where they sell the Roma Passes at. If you're looking for really great places to eat around here, this isn't the location. Other than being relatively close to the Colosseum, there's nothing particularly special about this hotel. I wouldn't be in a rush to go back if I were ever to return to Rome. it would be nice for a night or two if you're just staying over or on a long-layover in Rome. Otherwise, it might be worth staying in a different part. I should disclose a potential bias that Rome is not my favorite city. I'm not sure how I enjoyed it so much 10 years ago; maybe things have changed a lot. I'm in favor of never returning again.

The room was small which was expected and the bathroom was really tight. The rugs and wallpaper were stained, the bathroom hardware was crusty and my towel had a hole in it! While I totally respect the historical decor of the hotel with a beautiful lobby and rooftop dining, the guest rooms need some love. I can't imagine how they achieve a 4 star status.
