Occupying the third and fifth floors of an attractive neoclassical apartment building, this bed-and-breakfast property is located right next to Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica. Since it's not a traditional hotel, the Domus Liberius doesn't have a reception area, and the only public space is the breakfast room. It sports a clean and modern look with white walls and simple white furniture highlighted with splashes of bright red provided by plastic chairs and table mats. Although it's simple, this clean, minimalist look is a refreshing change from the overdone look of many Roman hotels. Still, this modern approach won't appeal to those looking for Roman grandeur. The property mainly attracts leisure travelers -- mostly couples -- but many families also choose to stay here because of the triple and quadruples rooms available.

Domus Liberius is situated next to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, and it's a seven-minute walk to Termini, Rome's main train station, where a metro station is also located. A bus stop is outside the door, as well as a taxi stand and the “Hop On, Hop Off” tourist bus. There are many shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets in the immediate vicinity.

The six guest rooms at Domus Liberius are bright and spacious with tall ceilings and a fresh, modern look thanks to the parquet floors, pristine white walls, and white furniture. The overall effect may be too stark for some tastes as there's little decoration, but the two guest rooms on the fifth floor have two-tone walls with a warmer peach-and-cream color palette. Like the rooms, the bathrooms are clean and modern with elegant gray tiling on the floor and walls, and are fitted with large walk-in rainfall showers. Some rooms have views of the neighboring Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. All rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, work desks, and free Wi-Fi, plus one of the Quadruple Rooms also has a kitchenette. Guests should note that there have been some complaints of street noise.

On-site features are limited at the Domus Liberius, and they're principally focused on breakfast -- a continental spread that includes fresh pastries, bread, eggs, cheeses, yogurt, coffee, and juice. It's served in the breakfast room, which also has a few vending machines selling water, soft drinks, and coffee and tea. Other services on offer here include luggage storage, airport transportation, laundry, and fax and photocopying. A free Wi-Fi connection is available throughout the property.
