My stay at Domus Castrense was quite a mixed bag. While the location was a big plus, being close to the city center and Termini station, the overall experience left much to be desired. The room was clean and modern, but I faced several issues like construction noise and a lack of some basic amenities. Overall, it was a decent place to stay, but it fell short in several areas.
