Hotel Domus Pacis Torre Rossa Park - Rome

The overall hotel is very good but - the room was not ready when we arrived and there was not even an apology. the room itself is clean and comfortable (air condition) but the bathroom is dirty, small and mouldy. should be renovated very urgent. in comfortable "by foot"-distance to the metro station "cornelia". breakfast was very good!

Very nice place, if you plan to visit Rome and not to spend time in hotel. Rooms aren't really nice, and not super-clean, but staff people are very kind, breakfast is very good, they have a very big parking, and really you can't find something better for that price so near to the city centre.

The Staff were very welcoming & helpful, the location & surroundings were great. Rooms quite basic, single blankets on a double bed, not at all like the photographs, not very sound proof, especially in the bathroom, which were a little neglected. Need, do not disturb signs, the maid entered twice without knocking. After being out for 6 hrs the room had still not been cleaned. The breakfast was very good.

We certainly got a good price for a good facility but the location of the hotel was just to far out for us as a family, that said I would recommend the accommodation to anyone who is not afraid to learn the metro system, I don't keep great health so the hill up and down to the metro was frustrating for me (my daughter and son managed no problem).

Beaucoup trop éloigné du centre ville et les moyens de transport peu pratiques: plus de bus pour revenir , à partir de 21h

Struttura mediocre,e molto cara

The reception staff were excellent and the restaurant staff were generally good, but one male waiter seemed to be less than interested in the customers and their welfare.

Il mio commento si esplicita in quanto segue: entriamo in stanza e subito ci troviamo in faccia la porta del bagno, da quanto era piccola la stanza non abbiamo nemmeno potuto disfare i bagagli. Subito notiamo che l'intonaco dello stipite è corroso e i muri sono completamente coperti da rigate nere e insetti morti con conseguenti macchie di sangue (anche sulla testiera del letto e sulla tenda). Uno strato di polvere decennale copriva ognicosa. Sì, gli ascigamani venivano cambiati ogni giorno ma quello che c'era sul pavimento ci rimaneva. Il copriletto presentava macchie non identificate e grazie a dio che era estate. Sì, l'albergo possedeva un giardino stupendo con tanto di gazebo, e le persone della reception erano cortesi ma evidenziava solo lo squallore della stanza e ti faceva sentire preso in giro. Inutile cambiare stanza perchè le condizioni del corridoio e i commenti degli altri ospiti confermavano che erano tutte uguali. Gli unici pro sono nell'ottima colazione, nella facilità di raggiungere il centro con i mezzi pubblici e parcheggio gratuito. Conclusione: torneremo a Roma che è stupenda ma non in quell'albergo!

I do not recomend this hotel to anyobody. Firstly, the pictures on the website are just from the reception and conference rooms, while the actual rooms are in another buildings (4). It is more like an faculty dorm, not a hotel. The rooms are simple and not very clean. There is no security when entering the hotel building, in fact there is nobody there. The hotel is far from the city center (you need ~ 40 minutes, 2 buses to get in Rome center).

I´d like to reserve 3 rooms: 1 double, 1 triple and 1 for 4 people. The employees took there were only triple rooms. When we stayed at rooms, we saw once was for 4 peolpe. For us was very good, but the employees were without this information.

The bedroom was exceptionally small and lacked facilities for putting clothing away, therefore we had to virtually live out of our suitcases all week as the only things we could hang up were coats, shirts, dresses etc. There was no room to store t-shirts, socks, underwear and shoes.

Very nice hotel. The hotel is classic 70s style and my wife and I really enjoyed it. It is a short 1 EUR bus ride to the vatican. 10-12 EUR taxi ride. We enjoyed the quiet at night, versus being right in the middle of everything and not being able to open your windows at night due to street noise. The public areas were a great place to sit outside and enjoy a coffee or beer at night. I would definitely stay there again.

Over all stay (myself & my mother),quite good. Hotel lovely, people friendly, & the hotel surroundings very nice. BUT, we ate in the hotel the first night - not much choice, and although there was only 4 other people in the restaurant, we had to wait a very long time for the food!Our first night in the hotel, we had a cockroach in our room! Yes, a cockroach. A big one. Someone did come up within a few minutes to sort it. Mum had already squished it, but they fetched it & offered us another room which we didn't do. The next morning I asked that the maid mop the floor for us. This was not done as I left a mark on the floor & it was still there when we got back! Breakfast was great. The morning of our flight, we had asked for a wake up call, we only got a call to say our taxi was here. We were not awake. They said there was a problem with the phones!!! Rome itself is brilliant. Just don't stay at this hotel.

This hotel is not proper for individual guest. Dinner at restaurant is only for group. Individual cannot have dinner or lunch. No laundry services. No porter service.

El hotel está dentro de un entorno muy agradable de vegetación y entre pinares. Bien conectado con el centro de la ciudad. Se llega al Vaticano en 10 minutos y los autobuses son muy frecuentes. Los recepcionistas son amables sin ser cargantes y uno se arregla perfectamente en español. ¡Ojo! Haganse con los billetes del autobus en el bar del hotel porque la gestión de los autobuses de Roma está pensada por una mente diabólica y no se puede pagar el billete en el propio autobus.La mayor parte de los romanos no pagan nunca pero si un inspector te sorprende sin billete te puede multar con entre 100 y 500 euros. Hemos estado muy a gustito en este hotel.

Un hotel para ir a Roma en coche. Dejas el coche en el parking del hotel y te olvidas de el ya que el autobús para justo enfrente del hotel y te deja en el centro de Roma en 10 min. o menos (segun el tráfico). Habitación limpia y cómoda y muy tranquila ya que el hotel se encuentra en una zona en la que no hay tráfico ni ruidos. El desayuno bastante bien. El trato de los empleados correcto, incluso nos dieron información en castellano.

I have been to Rome many times, and picked out this hotel as it is central to Fiumicino- airport. It is also close to Vatican and the centre of Rome.

Very good location with best connection to the city center. Nice and friendly staff. High class hotel for a very good price.

Excellent Location close to the GRA, short bus ride to the METRO for touring Rome. Beautiful surroundings. Breakfast was good. The hotel is a cluster of 3 story walkup buildings with no lift.If you have problems with stairs or hauling luggage then request a lower level room. Beds were a little soft, mainly because of North American Size matteresses were placed on smaller european style frames. Great over all value

Pleasant, modest and nice hotel. It is a little far from the Underground station - Cornelia - 6 minutes by the bus, 15 minutes on foot. Good service, not bad breakfasts. The personnel pleasant, ready to help.

Very beautyfull natural park; simple for trasport and good parking but the rooms are either dated (some old...).

Il l'Albergo non me hai piaciuto niente

The hotel is actually pretty far from center of Rome, and room are very small, and you can hear about everything you neighbor is doing. The good part is the park outside hotel which quite beautiful. Wireless is available only in the lobby of the hotel and is 5 euro/h but lobby is closed after 1 a.m.

The hotel is Ok in my opinion. The room is not big but it is clean.

I was travelling with a project group and as we wanted to see Rome we stayed in your hotel on the way home. The hotel was a good and quiet place to stay in Rome. The food was good quality and the rooms were clean and quiet.We could have wished more spacious rooms and also a lift as it was difficult to get the baggage up to the 2nd floor.

No good. Don't advice. Bathroom with mould, dirty, with wall scraped. Bed break through, and after we have request to change the bed... I have sleeping 4 days bad. 4 days in Rome ( I will go in Rome in the next mounth but no in Torrerossa hotel).

The rooms are not in the main building but in older buildings near the one in the photo

The rooms at the Torre Rossa Hotel are filthy and disgustingly dirty. I've overnighted there because i arrived late and tired and won't had the strenght to look for another Hotel. It's a pitty because all the enviroment and the park is very pretty and the spacious could be a luxury. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. THE QUESTION UNDERNEATH IS WRONGLY MADE BECAUSE IT HAS NOT THE POSSIBILITY TO REPLY IF YOU WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!!!

The avaluation is for 17 to 20 august, too.

Rooms are very small and dorm like. No view from room at all. Very clean though.

Sontuoso ingresso ma la mia camera era piccola e disadorna, priva degli elementi assenziali come il comodino e l'asciuga-capelli. Manca altresì l'ascensore. Da apprezzare la discreta vicinanza al centro e l'ampio parco.

Good breakfast and room service, poor air conditioning/heater, mosquitos, small rooms, noise transparent walls, overall average.

My wife and myself stayed at the torre rossa hotel in november 2005. the staff were as others have written unhelpful, to put it mildly. the room was disgusting, filthy and full of mould. since returning in november, have written to the hotel and their head office on various occassions for their views, and to this date have received no answer whatsoever. I have contacted Venere.com and comfort hotel collection to whom they are connected, both were concerned about our stay and asked the hotel for their view. As i have already said, no feedback has been received. For pictures and full story please go to http://www.thesimmondsfamily.net/torrerossaparkhotel/ I would not suggest anyone go to this place if they have any sense.

This is a great hotel providing you don't want to spend the eveings in Rome which we dodn't. Facilites locally are limited. However its quiet, safe and the breakfast is excellent.

Beautifull place, good restaurant and snack bar

A very nice ambience, beautiful gardens. Restaurant food of very good quality and reasonably priced. Walls between rooms quite thin though, and though the other guests were very quiet, one could still hear from next door rooms, so if you are unlucky enough to have a noisey neighbour, you may have a sleepless night! But everything else was top class!

Good value for the money, nice and clean, good breakfast, good parking and public transportation to city of Rome (Stefan family of five)

Excellent buffet breakfast including hot food. Staff in dining room unfriendly and uninterested in helping. Arrived at 11:30 p.m. after long and difficult journey by plane, coach to Rome and local bus to hotel. We found the reception impersonal. No food or drink available at all not even a bottle of water. Told that a hotel accross the road was open till 2 a.m. Majority of staff were aloof and unfriendly. Rooms in separate blocks from reception area and were very basic and institutional in appearance. No room service, no hairdryer, no fridge or mini-bar in room. Could hear people in room overhead using to the toilet, putting shoes on the floor and talking, walls and floors very thin. TV had only Italian stations. No safe in room and receptionist told us there was no room in the safe for our belongings.

The surroundings are good .How i wish the service could be just as good. The staff at the reception were ok but the rest barely spoke english. Breakfast was good but dinner not so good as the food was over salted

It is a good place for people having a car and looking for a reasonable hotel to saty in in Rome. The park at the hotel is very nice. The only tiny thing that could be available is an elevator in the hotel buildings.

The hotel staff was not very helpful in general. They were not friendly, even though I was extremely polite. The rooms were clean yet small. If I had felt more welcome I would recommend it.

Room was not very nice for the price. Paint and plaster board was falling off. People staying at the hotel very noisie. Service from staff was not good. Shower over flowed told them to fix and they did not. Charged alott for the use of the computer 1/3 the price in town. when complained hotel staff did nothing or acted like they did not speak english. Will never stay there agian it was a bad expierence nor will other people that we met there.

Just disappointed that the hotel has no blower to dry the hair; position of beds (double room)is not comfortable, one bed is facing the door of the entrance, I have rearranged it though so as not to face the entrance of the door while sleeping.

It was noisy every night!!

Room was not exactly large, but clean and quiet until 7 in the morning, when first Rome-tourists have a shower and bang the doors. The same as everywhere. (At first we were in a small and scruffy room that had a ventilation system going outside, also at nighttime - number 10. We complained and it was no problem to change.) Public transport is ok (although...next time I take a hotel with a Metro station nearby). Bus 96 stops right outside the hotel and takes you to Metro (5 Min) or directly to St. Peter and further to centro storico (20 Min). Breakfast is good. (I don't need Anastacia with it - but ok, the same as everywhere.) The staff was friendly. And the place was quiet, no noise from the streets. So alltogether - it's ok.

Value for money. If relying on public transport be aware of the walk on a very busy main road with no footpath to reach a bus stop.

If you have a vehicle I would recommend this hotel. It has safe, free & spacious parking. The rooms were small and the wall were very dirty but it had a bathroom and a TV. If you are just looking for a place to sleep and are not planning to spend too much time in the hotel then this is a place to consider. Just keep in mind the place looks nothing like the website.

Difficult to reach, buses not frequent. Walked 25 minutes to Hotel or if buses ran that day, waited 45 minutes. Hotel was satisfactory though.

Everythig OK

We enjoyed our staying at domus pacis very much. We will come again!

The Website said near San Peter's Square, not quite so....

The bathroom had mold all along the walls and the shower leaked, and water was on the floor after each shower.

Excellent Hotel.Easy access from GRA. Beautifull surroundings. Noisy rooms

The hotelroom was very noisy because everything was of stone or steel and rather small. The staff was not very friendly en re-active. We didn't feel like hosts. The sharp price of Venere compensated the poor results. Because of a direct busline to the centre (line 98 or 881) the situation was good.

Good hotel. A little removed from the Vatican. Good access to the freeway if accessing with car. Overall, excellent relationship between price/quality.

Beautiful gardens very peaceful, room a bit small and really basic. Considering the price and location a good place to stay.

The hotel is a large conference hotel and suited us well. The communal areas were very good. The rooms are anonymous but clean and have all the basic facilties you need if you are out exploring Rome all day. The breakfast was included in the price and excellent. We worked out the bus and metro routes into the centre of the city - the bus stop is outside the hotel and takes you directly to the St Peter's but you will need to get another bus to get to other historic sights. The Metro is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel but stops at all the major sights. Overall, we were impressed.

When I arrived they did not have my correct date of checkin on their log sheet but they did have the fax stated the correct day. We waited three hours for them to figure out where we were going to be staying. During that time one of the employees stated that we should be looking for a room on our own and that it was not the hotels problem. The same employee stated that if they did find a hotel that we should pay the difference in price. Also, the hotel had mosquitoes in all the rooms and it was a bit dirty. In a whole, the Domus Pacis was a horrible experience and would not recommend it to anyone.

Non molto agevole arrivarci se però ci si arriva in auto il parcheggio è sicuro. le camere sono silenziose e spaziose il rapporto qualità prezzo buono.

Overall Domus Pacis was a reasonably-priced place to stay. Rooms were clean & a good buffet-style breakfast was available each morning (included in the price). It was also relatively easy to travel to the centre of Rome by bus. However, we were a bit surprised to discover that there were no lifts in the building. Our room was situated on the 2nd floor. This proved particularly difficult for one member of our Group, who has a disability. It also meant having to carry our luggage up a few flights of stairs. Probably the worst part though for us was the problem we had with mosquitoes. Two of us in our Group got about 20 bites each & the third person in our Group also got quite a few bites. In the end, it was so unbearable that we had to ring Reception after midnight one night, who immediately arranged for us to move room. (The mosquitoes appeared to be coming in through the ceiling of our room). Unfortunately the mosquito problem in our first room influenced our experience & memory of our overall stay in Domus Pacis. The hotel staff told us that mosquitoes were a big problem all over Rome.

The Domus Pacis is a modern hotel/conference centre set in quiet attractive grounds on the outskirts of Rome. The only problem with the hotel is its location. It is difficult to get to if you do not have your own transport. If you a relying on public transport you will need to take the metro, then a bus, and even then there is an uncomfortable walk along a busy road with no pavement and steep walls on either side. Once you reach the hotel you are in paradise. The grounds are tranquil and the whole area is very peaceful.

The hotel is not "a few minutes to the center of roma". first at all you have to walk a smal long way to the subwaystation. not so nice. but all in all it´s ok.

I will list a few things below which will help you with your Stay in Italy, as well a review about this Hotel. I must say first that I loved Italy and the constructive critiscm I give about the Hotel is purely about the hotel and not the Holiday. The general staff at Domus are rude and very unhelpful, it almost became a game to try and buy a drink rather than enjoying there serivce. If you treat the Hotel as a stop off point, a place to rest your head, the service is very good and excellent value for money. However if you use the Hotel facilities then it becomes less than a Hotel. The brochure said it had multiple bars and restaurants, we found 1 bar with a moody barman, and ZERO restaurants. The affiliation with the spa down the round is a complete joke, it will cost you £40 per person to swim! We went to the hotel across the road to check out what it was like for food and ambiance, but the forced smiles soon became a drag, and for the price the food was awful. Travelling into the centre of Rome is very different from how the web site sells it. Although they dont need to lie, it is as they say outside of the city centre, but there is a bus which takes you straight from outside the Hotel into the centre ( No 98 i think ), but there is no way you can walk it, as the road is like a dual carrage way. The buses are easy as well, buy the tickets from the hotels or shops then stamp them on the buses, although nobody ever checks. Taxi from the Airport to and from the Hotel really ripped us off. They charged us 60Euros each way, which seems to be the norm, as another couple says they had money stolen off the taxi man, so the lesson here is too take a bus or have a pre paid taxi. In conclusion, this Hotel was great value for money, but only use it as a place to stay, dont expect Hotel facilities.

Air conditioning was not working well and I asked twice to check it but nothing changed. One of the two sliding doors in the shower was missing; the towel holders were damaged. Breakfast is good. Hotel is near to bus stop to the center (15 minutes by bus).

The location of Domus Pacis is excellent because of the bus connections. The room we were given during our first stay was satisfactory. It was obvious from blotches on the walls that previous occupants had also had trouble with mosquitoes. We were informed that breakfast was not available to us when we first checked in but during our second stay, booked through Venere, bed and breakfast was included and the room was of a higher standard. The rooms were cleaned daily and the security was good. The airconditioning was essential during the European summer heatwave. The availability of the internet facilities in the foyer area was a bonus and in fact ensured that we saved 35 euros on our second stay rather than booking through reception! We would stay there again.

The room was very small and the shower was aswell. The airconditioning didn't work and we reported this at the reception, they told us they would send someone over to make it, but it didn't work the whole time we stayed. Also it was very noisy, we heard a lot of noises in the night.

Too much gnats.

Overall, our stay at Domus Pacis was as expected. One desk staff person was excellent - ( I believe his name was Luigi). The others were marginal. The shower area was very tiny...but this, I think, is the norm in Italy. I was disappointed with the actual location of the hotel - it was quite a way out of the center of activity - we had hoped for a place near the Vatican - this was quite far away. Still, all in all, I would recommend this hotel for future guests. The breakfast was somewhat skimpy..especially for vegetarians (I had hoped that some fruit, hot cereal, would complement the breakfast)

Mancava il frigorifero in camera e la TV era malfunzionante, in compenso ottima e varia la prima colazione a buffet!

The hotel may be affiliated with the saturnia spa across the road but the staff were unable to advise if we had acess to the swimming pool and leisure facilities as the domus pacis has none

The place is a little bit far way from the city center, but it has really good price when I was staying there. I'd like to stay there again next time!

Nice hotel wich can be recommended.
