Domus Australia is a religious guesthouse housed in an ancient monastery in Rome’s Stazione Termini district, 500 metres from the Repubblica metro stop. The building retains a sober, intimate character, with an internal chapel, a courtyard and spaces that combine the history of the place with amenities designed for the modern traveller.
The rooms, from the Standard Single to the Deluxe Quadruple, are air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen satellite TV, minibar, tea and coffee set, iron and a private bathroom with hairdryer and courtesy set. The larger room types also include a sofa and, in some cases, a view of the garden or the internal courtyard.
A traditional Australian breakfast is served every day, moving to the courtyard on warm days, while the seasonal rooftop bar is ideal for an evening drink. The location is convenient for those arriving by train, with Roma Termini station 700 metres away, and for those wishing to walk to the Trevi Fountain in around 20 minutes.
Domus Australia offers four room types, from the Standard Single designed for solo travellers to the Deluxe Quadruple suited to families or small groups. All room types share air conditioning, a flat-screen satellite TV, a minibar and a private bathroom with hairdryer and courtesy set, ensuring a consistent level of comfort throughout the property.
What sets the room types apart is mainly the size and bed configuration: the Superior Triple Room and the Deluxe Quadruple, both more spacious, also feature a sofa and in some cases a view of the garden or internal courtyard, while the Double/Twin Room offers flexibility between an extra-large double bed and two single beds. The Standard Single remains the most compact choice, suited to short solo stays.
The largest room in the property, at 26 sqm and able to accommodate up to 4 people. In addition to air conditioning, a sofa, a flat-screen satellite TV and a minibar, it offers the flexibility of two alternative bed configurations, ideal for families or small groups. The private bathroom is equipped with a hairdryer and courtesy set.
Designed for couples or friends, this 16 sqm room offers the choice between an extra-large double bed and two separate single beds, a unique advantage compared to the other room types. Air-conditioned, with a minibar and a flat-screen satellite TV, it does not allow the addition of cots or extra beds.
At 22 sqm, this is the only room in the property to overlook the garden or internal courtyard through a dedicated patio. Featuring a sofa, air conditioning, a flat-screen satellite TV and a minibar, it is designed for groups of three looking for more space without giving up a green view.
The most compact room in the property, designed for solo travellers. At 13 sqm, with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a bathroom with a hairdryer, it is the simplest room type but sufficient for a short stay in the heart of Rome.
