I Dormienti is a guest house in the Rione Monti district, in the heart of Rome, about 600 meters from the Colosseum and just 100 meters from the Cavour metro station. Set on the first floor of an old palazzo, the property offers air-conditioned rooms with modern furnishings, flat-screen TV, minibar and soundproofed walls, almost all with a city view.
The room types range from a compact single room to larger double rooms, up to a solution with an extra bed designed for three people; some rooms have a private bathroom inside the room, others have it outside the room but always reserved for guests. WiFi is free throughout the property, while staff can help arrange bicycle rental, walking tours and excursions in the surrounding area.
The location in the Monti district is particularly appreciated by couples, with a very high dedicated score: from here, in just a few minutes on foot or with a short metro ride, you can reach the Imperial Forums, Trevi Fountain and Piazza di Spagna, as well as Termini Station.
The rooms at I Dormienti occupy the first floor of a historic building in the Rione Monti district and share a similar setup: air conditioning, flat-screen TV, minibar, soundproofed walls and free WiFi connection, with a city view from almost every window. Room sizes range from 12 to 18 square meters, offering solutions suited both to solo travelers and to couples and small groups.
Among the room types available, options range from the compact Single Room with Private Bathroom to the larger Queen Deluxe Room and Deluxe Double Room with Extra Bed, the latter designed for three people thanks to the added sofa bed. One room type, the Twin Room, has a private bathroom located outside the room, while all the others have a private bathroom inside the room with a walk-in shower and courtesy set.
The Economy Double Room is the most compact of the double rooms at I Dormienti, at just 12 square meters. It is air-conditioned, equipped with a TV and a private bathroom with hairdryer, and is designed for those looking for the essentials at a lower price than the other double room types in the property.
At 16 square meters, the Deluxe Double Room is larger than the Economy and features more modern furnishings, with a satellite LED TV, courtesy set and extra-large double bed. Here too WiFi is free and air conditioning is provided in every season.
The Deluxe Room shares the modern furnishings of the Deluxe Double but with a size of 14 square meters. It features a satellite LED TV, courtesy set and private bathroom, making it a middle ground between the smaller and more spacious rooms in the property.
At 18 square meters and with capacity for three people, this room is the only one in the property designed for small groups or families: the extra-large double bed is paired with an extra sofa bed, in addition to the usual satellite LED TV and courtesy set.
The only double room to offer two separate single beds, this 14-square-meter room is designed for those who do not share a bed: the bathroom is private but located outside the room, unlike all the other room types with an internal bathroom.
The Queen Deluxe Room reaches 18 square meters, the largest size among the double rooms, and stands out for its walk-in shower, bidet and private entrance, as well as the city view and soundproofed walls.
The Standard Double Room, at 14 square meters, offers the same features as the other doubles – walk-in shower, bidet, minibar – as a more affordable alternative to the Queen Deluxe while still featuring the same type of extra-large double bed.
Designed for solo travelers, this 12-square-meter single room is the only room type in the property for one guest: it has a private bathroom with walk-in shower, private entrance and city view, with the same level of air conditioning and soundproofing as the other rooms.
I Dormienti provides guests with free WiFi connection, air conditioning and heating throughout the property, as well as daily housekeeping and 24-hour security with key access and CCTV cameras in the common areas. Lockers, a safe, luggage storage and an elevator to reach the first-floor rooms are all available.
For those who want to explore Rome, the staff organizes walking tours, bicycle tours and local culture lessons, provides a tour desk and offers bicycle and car rental. The rooms, all non-smoking and some designed for families, feature a minibar, tea and coffee kettle, courtesy set and complimentary bathroom products. The property is entirely non-smoking and also offers hypoallergenic options on request.
I Dormienti is located in Rione Monti, Rome’s oldest district, a maze of alleys, artisan workshops and casual venues that stretches right behind the Forums. Via Urbana, where the property is located, is one of the most characteristic streets in the area, popular in the evening with Romans and visitors for its lively yet intimate atmosphere, quite different from the traffic of the main streets of the historic center.
Getting around is made easy by the nearby metro: Cavour station on line B is about 100 meters away, while the Colosseo station is 500 meters away, and Termini Station can be reached in two stops, 850 meters away as the crow flies. The Colosseum can be reached in about 8 minutes on foot (600 meters), the Domus Aurea is 550 meters away and the Imperial Forums are 850 meters away. For those arriving by air, Ciampino airport is 12 km away, while Fiumicino is about 20 km away.
The surrounding area has everything needed to plan your days in Rome: besides the imperial ruins, a 15-20 minute walk brings you to the Trevi Fountain (1 km) and Piazza di Spagna (1.4 km), while Piazza Navona is about 1.7 km away. Within a few dozen meters you’ll find trattorias such as Broccoletti and Al Tettarello, as well as several evening bars popular with locals. In any season, the historic center can be comfortably explored on foot, and it is precisely this direct proximity to the major archaeological attractions that makes the Monti district one of the most practical bases for staying in Rome.
