Hotel Description

Welcome to Domus Oriana, a splendid 3-star boutique hotel nestled in the vibrant Ostiense district of Rome. This gem of Italian hospitality has earned an exceptional 9.1 rating from satisfied guests, placing it among Rome’s most highly-regarded accommodations in its category. Perfectly positioned at 81a Via Ostiense, Domus Oriana offers travelers an authentic Roman experience away from the overwhelming tourist crowds while maintaining convenient access to the Eternal City’s most treasured attractions.

The Ostiense neighborhood, once Rome’s industrial heart, has transformed into one of the city’s most dynamic and artistic districts, making Domus Oriana an ideal base for the culturally curious traveler. Just steps from the hotel, you’ll discover the monumental Pyramid of Cestius, an ancient Egyptian-inspired tomb dating back to 12 BC, and the historic Protestant Cemetery where literary giants Keats and Shelley rest eternally. The nearby Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, one of Rome’s four papal basilicas, offers a spiritual and architectural marvel less frequented by typical tourists. For contemporary art enthusiasts, the renowned MACRO Testaccio museum showcases cutting-edge exhibitions in a converted slaughterhouse complex, while the distinctive Gasometer structure stands as a reminder of the area’s industrial past. The hotel’s strategic location near Roma Ostiense railway station and metro connections means that iconic landmarks like the Colosseum and Roman Forum are just minutes away, allowing guests to easily explore both renowned sites and hidden treasures throughout the city.

What truly distinguishes Domus Oriana, as reflected in its outstanding 9.1 rating, is its perfect balance of comfort, authenticity, and personalized service. Unlike the often impersonal nature of larger hotel chains, this intimate establishment offers guests a genuine taste of Roman hospitality in a refined setting. The hotel embodies the essence of its name—”Domus” meaning “home” in Latin—providing a welcoming sanctuary after days spent exploring Rome’s cobblestone streets and magnificent monuments. Each thoughtfully appointed room combines contemporary amenities with classic Italian design elements, creating spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The attentive staff, praised consistently in guest reviews, stands ready to share insider recommendations for experiencing Rome beyond the guidebook suggestions—from hidden trattorias serving the most authentic carbonara to peaceful piazzas where locals gather away from tourist crowds. Whether you’re visiting Rome for the first time or returning to deepen your connection with the Eternal City, Domus Oriana in the characterful Ostiense district provides a superbly rated home base from which to experience both the iconic grandeur and everyday charm that makes Rome an eternally captivating destination.

    Apartment, equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, location

  • Aneta from United States (10/10)

    Beautiful, modern and clean property.

  • Luis from Germany (9/10)

    The apartment was in really good condition! Kitchen it is very well equipped with all you need to cook something.( Oil, salt, beer) Coffee machine and kettle. So everything you need! The room was also very good, bed was big and comfy, if to say something it is that there is a bucket for the AC water in one of the corners. The toilet was also very good, soap dispenser, shampoo and hair dryer too!

    The location was great too, a couple of minutes walking you have the metro line B. And right at the door are coming few busses that bring you very close to trastevere or even to pantheon, trevi and city center in about 20 minutes.

  • Weronika from Ireland (10/10)

    The location is very good, loads of restaurants, cafes and public transport around. The flat is very modern and has all the facilities you may need. The host is very friendly and made us feel welcome

    Kiva asunto. Lähellä Ostiensen juna-asemaa ja Piramiden metroasemaa. Bussipysäkki vastapäätä. Lähistöllä supermarket, kahviloita ja ravintoloita. Talossa hissi. Todella mukava yllätys oli kahvikone ja ilmaiset kapselit aamukahvia varten.

    bell'appartamentino sulla Via Ostiense, accanto alla Metro Piramide, a molti ristoranti e locali di un quartiere molto vivace, a 20' a piedi dal Colosseo e tre minuti in metro. Ha tutto quello che serve per un breve, ma anche per un lungo soggiorno.
