About
Domus Crescenzio - Guest House
Domus Crescenzio is a guest house in a 19th-century building on Via Crescenzio, a quiet street in Rome's Prati district. The location puts you within a 5-minute walk of Vatican City and close to Castel Sant'Angelo, with a bus stop right outside and a metro station about 10 minutes away. The property has a lift (a quirky original), and rooms come with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and tea and coffee facilities.
Guests consistently highlight the welcoming hosts, Erminia and David, who prepare a daily breakfast with homemade treats, fresh pastries, and cappuccino. The rooms are described as clean, spacious, and comfortable, with some offering courtyard views. The guest house also allows pets and provides luggage storage and housekeeping.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in windows are tight — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, and check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00, which may be restrictive for some travellers.
- No on-site parking — The property does not list parking, so guests arriving by car may need to use public parking or the paid airport shuttle.
- Some rooms may face a courtyard — While quiet, courtyard-facing rooms might lack the views some guests expect.
- Breakfast can be a highlight but not for everyone — While most guests rave about the breakfast, one review noted it was just 'lots of goodies'—expect a simple but generous spread.

9.1Verified guest“After a long night train, I was desperate for rest. The owner kindly prepared my room early so I could sleep. Every morning she greeted me with a smile and made a delicious breakfast. Rooms were spacious, and the 19th-century building charmed me. It was just a 5-minute walk to Vatican City, and the bus stops right outside—perfect for arriving from Roma Termini.”
