Hotel Description

Nestled in the heart of Rome’s historic Rione Monti district, the 3-star Mama Roma Domus offers an authentic Italian hospitality experience that has earned it an outstanding 9.0 rating from satisfied guests. This boutique accommodation strikes the perfect balance between comfort and location, providing visitors with an ideal base from which to explore the Eternal City. Situated at 110 Via Merulana, Mama Roma Domus places you strategically between two of Rome’s most significant basilicas – Santa Maria Maggiore and San Giovanni in Laterano – both just a short stroll away. The hotel’s central position in the characterful Monti neighborhood gives guests immediate access to the area’s charming narrow streets, artisanal boutiques, and traditional Roman trattorias that capture the essence of local life.

The exceptional 9.0 rating of Mama Roma Domus speaks volumes about the quality of service and attention to detail that guests can expect during their stay. This highly acclaimed establishment has built its reputation on creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that embodies the very spirit of Roman hospitality.

The hotel serves as a tranquil retreat after days spent exploring Rome’s magnificent attractions, many of which are easily accessible from this central location. The Colosseum and Roman Forum are within comfortable walking distance, while the convenient proximity to public transportation makes venturing to other famous sites like the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps remarkably straightforward. Via Merulana itself is a historic thoroughfare that connects two of Rome’s seven hills, offering guests a genuine immersion into the city’s ancient landscape while providing modern comforts within the hotel’s welcoming walls.

What truly distinguishes Mama Roma Domus is its perfect embodiment of the Roman lifestyle – a harmonious blend of historical appreciation and contemporary living. From the moment you step through its doors, you’ll understand why so many travelers award this gem a near-perfect rating of 9.0. The Rione Monti district, considered Rome’s first ward (rione), surrounds the hotel with its bohemian character and authentic charm, having evolved from an ancient working-class neighborhood into one of the city’s most vibrant and sought-after areas. Here, away from the most tourist-heavy zones yet within easy reach of major attractions, guests can experience Rome as locals do – sipping espresso at corner cafés, discovering hidden piazzas, and wandering through streets steeped in thousands of years of history. Mama Roma Domus doesn’t just offer accommodation in Rome; it provides a doorway into the living, breathing heart of one of the world’s most magnificent cities, making it an exceptional choice for travelers seeking an immersive Italian experience with the comfort of a superbly rated establishment.

Reviews

  • Aleksandra from Sweden (9/10)

    Super friendly owner with warm approach and great advices for look-around. after uncomfortable trip and walks staying at hotel was very rechargeable.

  • Caroline from France (9/10)

    The hotel is well located 10 min walk from the Coliseum and 15 min walk from Termini train station. The area is quiet, especially as the rooms overlook an inner courtyard.
    The Manzoni metro station is a 5-minute walk away and there is a bus stop in front of the hotel.
    Ar hosts, Jane and her husband are exceptionally kind. They picked us up at Termini station so that we didn't have to carry our suitcases.
    Jane gave us a map of the city and explained everything there was to see, how to get there and even recommended some excellent restaurants!
    The room is beautiful, clean and functional, the bed is very comfortable, I slept like at home.
    There's a communal area with a small kitchen where you can serve yourself water and tea and heat up dishes.
    Breakfast was served in the room and included eggs, bread, cold meats, cheese, pastries, coffee and juice (….), all of exceptional quality.
    Jane really looks after her guests and treats them like members of her own family. We spent hours talking about everything and she even gave us a snack when we left. A welcome like this warms the heart. We stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed it.
    At the weekend, Elisabeth prepares breakfast for us and she's really lovely. She even made us a packed breakfast for an early morning departure. She also takes great care of her guests.
    This made our experience of Rome even better.
    It was with sadness that we left, but as we love the city of Rome, we will return to stay with Jane.
    I highly recommend Mama Roma Domus for your stay at Roma
    Thank Very much to Jane, Gianluca & Elisabeth for this great experience <3

  • Dagmar from Germany (9/10)

    Jane was very nice and assisted a lot – even with pick up from airport etc. Good location – city can be easily reached by walking (or bus or metro). Room was small but ok for a few nights.

  • Melinda from Sweden (9/10)

    I recently stayed at this wonderful accommodation in Rome, and it was an amazing experience. The host was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed, answering all our questions and offering great local tips. The location was perfect, situated close to all the major attractions, making it easy to explore the city. Whether you’re visiting historic sites or just enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Rome, this place is ideally located. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Rome!

  • Iwona from Poland (9/10)

    First of all I would like to say many thanks to the owner Jane ! Thanks to her our stay was unique, full of joy and happiness 🙂 she is very helpful and takes care about guests in the best way. She explained what to see and where to eat.

    Room was clean, quiet, with comfortable bed and equipped with everything you need. There is a shared kitchen you can use. Jane prepares breakfast and brings to your room, mix sweet and salty which is perfect !

    Very good location, close to the metro station, bus stop downstairs and you can easily reach popular attractions.

    Thanks Jane for making our stay unforgettable and for sure we will stay again when back in Rome 🙂

  • Michelle from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The room is clean, spotless, spacious, and has a well-designed layout. It has a welcoming and relaxing ambiance. Fast and reliable Wifi connection is also a plus for us. The bed is comfortable, hence a good night’s sleep for me and my husband after a long day.

    Exceptional hospitality and services provided by the owner (Jane). She is very friendly and accommodating. She even provided us with detailed information/ suggestions about our stay in Rome. She took extra steps to accommodate us and our needs. Thank you, Jane! ◡̈

    Excellent location – very close to Colloseo, local restaurants and bus stops.

    We were also served with lovely breakfast. We stayed there for two nights and had variety of food – savoury and sweet. The breakfast was amazingly delicious and very filling. We appreciate Jane for personally preparing our food.

    Overall, we highly recommend Mama Roma Domus to anyone who will visit Rome. We are so pleased to have found this gem! Thank you Jane and husband for making our stay in Rome a memorable one. We will definitely stay at your bed and breakfast when we visit Rome again. Grazie Mille! ◡̈

  • Candava from Italy (9/10)

    Excellent service!!! Clean room. Nice place. Will definitely recommend to my friends and family😊😊😊

  • Danuta from Poland (9/10)

    I evaluate my stay very positively. The owner is very friendly, helpful and smiling. She approaches his work honestly. She provided us with valuable information during our stay in Rome. As described, there is an option to use a kettle, tea, microwave and fridge. Breakfast every day, always something savory and something sweet. Photos of the room consistent with reality. Safety in the facility is ensured. The premises are located in a tenement house. Despite the short, 4-day stay, the room was cleaned. It's clean, the beds are large and comfortable. Smoking is not allowed in the premises, which was fine by us. 15 minutes' walk to the railway station, approx. 5-7 minutes to the metro. Nearby there is a mini market and restaurants. I heartily recommend it!

  • Stephanie from United States (9/10)

    Soooo good! I was so excited to have American coffee and of course Jane had it m! She’s amazing!! Don’t hesitate to book with her. She made everything effortless! She offered her husband to pick us up from the airport and set up a taxi to take us back! She’s amazing!! Please do yourself a favor and book with her!

  • Marcin from Poland (9/10)

    Great location and very nice owners, very helpful. They took care of us like family. I recommend with a clear conscience!
