Domum de VencéReviews of devencer.com

We enjoyed the atmosphere of the house and our room. The bed was comfy with beautiful linens. Loved the decor. The ac unit did not cool that well. I should have contacted the owners about it, but did not. Felt secure. We will be back.

Interior Door is hard to open.

Our room was exceptionally clean and Jade helped us tremendously with the issue we had with the smoke alarm. The negative is that the air conditioning doesn’t work. It was hot and stuffy in our room even at night. The heat and humidity was extreme in the area when we went but it literally felt like the mini split in our room didn’t work at all.

On their website they say " A Beautiful Space To Dream Historically Modern | Minimal Space An intelligent rendition of 19th century elegance infused with modern comfort. Domum offers thoughtful beauty in minimum / lightly furnished space for guests seeking a spot of luxury with their morning coffee. Guest rooms are complemented with ten-foot ceilings that accent this home's historic origin. Original wood floors that, although revived, reflect a charm earned through decades of experience. En suite personal bathing rooms are reminiscent of the Mediterranean, both fresh and tranquil. Your room is coated with juxtaposed color that's both subtle and bold; a rich expression that is sure to delight. " The key phrase is "minimum/lightly furnished space" This is an historic property turned hotel, but really more like a B&B but there is no breakfast. I really liked the 19th century feel of the property. The location is quiet and perfect for the strand area of Galveston. Inside the property it is quite modern. Before I give you the negative side of things, I would stay here again. My intention is not for you to not consider the property, but to better understand what you are getting. I stayed in a single room with a queen bed. I knew the space would be small but didn't really care at the time because I was just planning to sleep. There was a bed, desk, chair, and a coat rack (plus the bathroom of course). There was no closet, no shelf, no place to put you suitcase, no mini-fridge, no ice on the property, and no vending machine. So if you wanted a cold drink, you would have to head out to a store. I didn't realize how important it was for me to have ice or access to a cool drink if for no other reason than to take my medicine. It was very inconvenient to have to place the suitcase on the floor. The description they provide is very accurate. The pictures of the rooms are accurate. There is no front desk. You are emailed a code that gives you access to the front door and your room door. If you are technology impaired you might find this difficult. I personally had some difficlty because it is not very clear that you have entered the code correctly. The place is not ADA compliant and probably is exempted due to it's historic nature. I only say that because if you use a wheel chair or walker I would not recommend this property as there in no sidewalk, an uneven cobblestone walkway from the fence to the house, and steps to the front porch. And more stairs if you are on the second floor. In my single room I don't think you would be able to turn a wheelchair around in the room and a walker would take up sprecious space. There is no onsite parking. It is street parking and there is a sign on the street that says 2hr parking 8:00am-5:00pm with exemption for resident pass. Fortunately when I entered the room there was a parking plackard for the car. If you have children the small room is not for you. If you are a couple, the small room will be a bit cramped. I don't know about the other rooms. Even with that, overall it was a pleasant stay

The rooms were very nice and clean .. everything you would need for an overnight stay . We were able to check in a little early which was very nice. The curb appeal was a little to be desired but I believe they are working on that . The interior was beautifully done ... We enjoyed our stay. Thank You .

It could of used a small fridge. Very clean and well taken care of.

Hotel and Rooms were very cute. Great location and staff. Little issues: Fan stopped working in Room 5. TV remote stopped working in Room 1.

This was very clean and nice. The only complaint I have is that the foot of the bedframe sticks out and it's easy to run into it if you don't notice it (drew blood). Within walking distance of food. Less than a mile from cruise terminal.
