Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Doria Palace Boutique Hotel impresses with its opulent rooms, some offering tranquil views of the internal courtyard. Its location is convenient, being a short walk from Termini station and Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica, and Molino's café across the street is a guest favorite for breakfast and lunch. While the elevator is noted as being quite small, many find the clean and spacious rooms, along with the good breakfast selection including pastries and fruits, make for an excellent stay.
