Booked via Expedia, the pics made it for me, i travel twice a year to Rome and stayed in serveral hotels. I choose this one because it is central. i only had two days. The terras was nice, the outside just one tabel, the rooms very clean (!) but very very small. The surrounding is not advisable for tourists. (i mean, bad food, and central station rubbish. So the internet looks better than it is. In november the heating was not on... after a complaint... nobody wanted to assist.... so there are better hotels.... in summer and need a central location with no bother about the small rooms, it could be a good choice. Domus Aurea is part of a big chain. Check internet, in Spain they have a lot of plants.
