About
Domus Merulana Bed And Breakfast
Domus Merulana Bed And Breakfast sits on Via Angelo Poliziano, in the heart of Rome. The Colosseum and Roman Forum are within easy walking distance, and a metro station is about a 10-minute stroll away. The property keeps things simple and contemporary: rooms are newly furnished with parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms.
Breakfast is not held on site but at a nearby café, where guests start the day with coffee and a pastry. The team is known for being helpful and warm, often pointing guests toward local restaurants. With a 13:00–22:00 check-in window and a 10:00 checkout, it suits travellers who plan their day around Rome's sights.
Rooms are air-conditioned and come with heating for cooler months. A lift serves the building, and luggage storage is available for early arrivals or late departures. Paid airport shuttle and parking are on offer for those arriving by car or plane.
