We booked this hotel for three nights mainly on the positive TripAdvisor reviews. I think the reviews have mentioned many of the good things: The location is an easy five minute walk from the Termini, even with heavy luggage, and the loc is pretty good for local fare down Via Merulana or into the trendy Monti area. The Metro A line (Vic Emman stop) is three minutes away, and on a hot day (the cars have AC) was a great way to get into the centre quick. The breakfast buffet on the roof in good weather is a very relaxing way to start the day. And the room was clean and comfortable. But I must say the bathroom was exceptionally small. Both of us had to put our toiletry bag beside the bed. The shower was unimaginably tight, really really awkward (I'm 6 ft/185 cm and 180 pounds, so not huge but not tiny). I really felt like I was stepping into an isolation tank or about to be cryogencially frozen. There was also a huge honking blow-dryer taking up one wall in the cubicle bathroom which we bashed ourselves against over and over. But, again, very nice room, air conditioned, with good soundproofing and a flat screen TV. We left our luggage there for six hours on checkout day in a locked closet and really appreciated that. For short stays I would recommend it, but for longer stays I think you might need a bit more space.

5 minute walk from Termini station with easy access to most of central Rome. The Doria is a small but very good hotel for a 1 or 2 night stay. It's basic however very clean and with a nice roof top breakfast you can see the top of the Colosseum.

There were no toiletries which we found strange and would have liked some soap which you kind of expect. Not sure if this was an oversight or not and we were only there 1 night so we didn't mention it.

My husband and I have just returned from a very very wet but wonderful three days in Rome. We arrived after at the Doira Hotel after a lot of aggrevation with transfersfrom Ciampino airport (TERRAVISION-Rome council had impounded all the coaches the day we arrived so had to make our own way to Hotel via bus and metro and same on return). We had been up since 2.30am so arrived at the Doria very tired .The Hotel was very easy to find and in a great location. Unfortunately, there appeared to be a problem when we finally arrived at the hotel. A mistake had been made (by staff not us) and would my husband and I do the manager a favour and take two single room for the night. Well, we had booked a double room (since 8th Jan) and I was distraught! It was our 10th wedding anniversary and also my 40th so we had planned this trip for months only to be told we would have to spend the night apart. I'm sorry to say but I burst into tears. After a long trip, trouble with the coach and then this it was too much. I thought the trip was ruined at that point and I'm sorry to say it but why us? Anyway, the Manager saw how upset I had become and out of nothing a double room had appeared!!! To say I was pleased was an understatement but how come it had come to this?? The room was comfortable,very clean and the breakfast was lovely-as was the lady who looked after it all. I know this is meant to be a hotel review but we loved Rome despite the rain and we will be back!!! By the way, the night before we left we saw The Pope when he went to Santa Maria Maggiore for Corpus Christi! Talk about timing!

What a fantastic hotel.

The rooms were great. Really clean and tidy. Free breakfast included and if its nice weather you can sit out on the superb terrace and enjoy a spectacular view of the Colosseum and Rome.

The most important point to mention however was the beautiful hospitality that we encountered. The staff were so polite and accommodating.

What more can I say. Oh, the LOCATION!!! One of the best you can get in Rome. Right near Termini station, which leads you to all the main attractions of Rome. And the price of course. Very reasonable!!!

YOU WOULD BE CRAZY not to choose this hotel to stay at!!!
