Complaints about difficulty in locating hotel
The six-room Domus RomAntica is a mid-range boutique hotel centrally located close to several major tourist sights. Rooms have an elegant style with Neoclassical elements and romantic features like roses in vases, although decor feels a bit dark. They’re outfitted with flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and minibars, but lack coffee- and tea-making facilities. There’s free Wi-Fi throughout, though there have been many complaints about connectivity issues. Hotel features are limited to breakfast vouchers, which are sometimes included in rates and can be used at one of two cafes. As an alternative, La Finestra sul Colosseo B&B offers a free breakfast delivered to the rooms each morning, as well as a free bottle of wine and fruit upon arrival, though rates tend to be a bit more expensive.

Scene
Small, mid-range hotel with no common areas, attracts couples
Domus RomAntica is housed in a charming peach stone building with green shutters. Some guests have difficulty locating the hotel, as the building is also occupied by a coffee shop and offices. There’s a small, old metal cage elevator as well as marble stairs that takes guests up to the floor of the hotel. Reception is not available 24/7 and requires notification of arrival and departure times -- there’s a charge for arriving after reception closes. This is a small hotel with limited amenities, and there are no common areas. The hallways have textured tan walls, a rich red carpet, and dark wooden doors. Guests are primarily couples who are attracted by the convenient location and the elegant and romantic style of the rooms.
Location
Central location close to popular attractions, restaurants, and shopping
Domus RomAntica is within walking distance of several historic sights. The Baths of Diocletian are a nine-minute walk away, while the Villa Borghese and its beautiful gardens are a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps both take about 20 minutes to reach on foot. Places like Fori Imperiali, the Colosseum, and Vatican City are a bit far to reach on foot, and it might be easier to utilize the city’s public transportation. The closest metro station is an 11-minute walk away, though there’s a bus stop only a minute from the hotel. Surrounding streets are filled with restaurants and shopping, providing entertainment day or night. Termini station, Rome's main train station, is a 15-minute walk away, while Leonardo da Vinci International Airport is about a 40-minute drive.
Rooms
Romantic rooms with flat-screen TVs and minibars, though no coffee- or tea-making facilities
The guest rooms are elegant and classic, cloaked in creams and browns, with striped walls, velour bedspreads, and dark wood furniture. Sophisticated pieces like Neoclassical chairs and large headboards with brass edging, as well as red roses in vases, provide a romantic atmosphere. But decor overall can run a little dark, and rooms don't get a lot of natural light. All the rooms include flat-screen TVs, minibars (at decent prices), desks, safes, and flat-screen TVs, but lack coffee- and tea-making facilities. Wi-Fi is free, but guests complain that it's is slow and spotty. Bathrooms are small but refined, with brown and tan tile floors and walls, white porcelain square sinks, and small showers. They also include toiletries and hairdryers. Views are fairly lackluster; most overlook neighboring buildings.
