More photosHotel Navona is a real hidden gem housed in a historic 15th-century building right in the heart of Rome. The hotel is situated in the former residence of the noble Pamphilj family, and you can still feel the weight of history in its high ceilings and authentic architectural details. It sits just steps away from the bustling Piazza Navona, one of the city’s most iconic spots.
What makes this place special is how it balances Renaissance elegance with modern comfort. The interior design leans into the building’s heritage with classic Italian touches, while updated amenities keep things comfortable for today’s travelers. A unique feature is the hotel’s charming breakfast room, located in a space that highlights the original stone walls, giving you a very “Old Rome” feeling before you even step outside.
The location is basically unbeatable for sightseeing. You are within easy walking distance of major landmarks like the Pantheon, the Campo de’ Fiori market, and the beautiful Trevi Fountain. Despite being so central, the hotel manages to feel like a peaceful sanctuary away from the tourist crowds.
Because the building is protected for its historical significance, the property retains a cozy, intimate layout that large modern hotels just can’t replicate. It’s a fantastic spot for anyone who wants to stay right in the center of the action while enjoying a piece of Roman history.

Great for a few nights in a very central location.
Super friendly service! Great location.
First we got a room with some issue with the bathroom that caused a horrible smell in the whole room. They gave us another room for the second night and that one had no issues.

Very comfortable and a great location.
The location. We walked everywhere from there. Good restaurants nearby and good coffee shop for breakfast very handy.
The room was a little cold as the ceilings are very high. However, the staff were very helpful to ensure our comfort.

If you need a place in Rome, choose this one
This is the perfect place to stay in Rome. It is prime location but a quiet side street. I was here in January (maybe its a busier zone in summer). It was so clean and comfortable. Perfect bed.
There is nothing I didnt like.

Perfect spot for touring Rome with kids
Very spacious rooms that are more like apartments, perfect for traveling with kids, and they were very quiet and dark at night so we got great rest in between all of the activities. Very centrally located so it was easy to walk just about anywhere (we did the Coloseum, Vatican, Spanish Steps, and Campo di'Fiore) or find a taxi easy enough if we didn't want to walk. Restaurants at nearby Piazza Navona or Pantheon are excellent and there are great places to shop within minutes of walking.
Hotel staff was super friendly and helpful with everything from arranging transportation, food recommendations, baggage handling.

The only thing was the toiletries were inadequate

This hotel was a great place to stay and I’d recommend it to anyone interested in visiting Rome.
This hotel is located in an excellent central area in Rome that enabled us to easily walk all to all the major sites and get a sense of the city. The hotel itself is very quiet, due to the very thick masonry walls of this 15th Century Palazzo. Nice breakfast and friendly staff too. We highly recommend it.
Everything was really great!

Other Rome hotels
W Hotel, Rome
W Rome is a masterclass in blending history with modern, high-energy luxury. Housed across two restored 19th-century palazzos, the hotel was reimagined by the New York-based design firm Meyer Davis. Instead of opting for a minimalist approach, they embraced a "Masters of Addition" philosophy, layering the historic stone walls with bold, contemporary patterns, vibrant color blocking, and a playful 1970s-inspired aesthetic that feels uniquely Roman yet undeniably fresh.
New York Times + 2 more“W Rome, near Villa Borghese Park, has 162 rooms in two 19th-century palazzi. It offers marble bathrooms, velvet curtains and a skylit lounge.”

J.K. Place Roma Hotel, Rome
J.K. Place Roma is a luxurious boutique hotel that feels more like an exclusive private townhouse than a traditional hotel. Housed in a building that formerly served as a school of architecture, the property is defined by its sophisticated, residential atmosphere. The interiors were masterfully imagined by Florentine designer Michele Bönan, who drew inspiration from the 1950s La Dolce Vita era and a modern, retro-chic aesthetic.
New York Times + 2 more“Midcentury furniture mingles with marble sculptures at the J.K. Place Roma, a 30-room hotel that opened in 2013. The eye-catching design by the architect Michele Bönan features colorful palettes, stately four-poster beds and common spaces adorned with Berber rugs and a futuristic chandelier.”

The First Arte, Rome
The First Roma Arte is a sophisticated boutique hotel nestled within a meticulously restored 19th-century palace in the heart of Rome. Far from your typical tourist hotel, it functions as a living, breathing art gallery. With over 150 original contemporary works dispersed throughout its common areas and guest rooms, the property celebrates Italy’s modern creative spirit while honoring its historic architectural roots.
CNN“This super-chic, five-star art hotel just around the corner from Piazza del Popolo attracts well-heeled guests who want a base in the heart of Rome’s shopping district. The First offers one of Rome’s best views: roof-top tiles, domes and bell towers.”
Rocco Forte Hotel de Russie, Rome
Rocco Forte Hotel de Russie is a Roman icon nestled between the vibrant Piazza del Popolo and the famous Spanish Steps. Originally designed in the early 19th century by the celebrated architect Giuseppe Valadier, the building has led a storied life. It served as a hub for artists and aristocrats—famously hosting Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau in 1917—before later becoming the headquarters for Italy’s national television network, RAI.
CN Traveler + 1 more“The 120-room hotel just off Piazza del Popolo mixes Art Deco–tinged nods to Rome’s classical past with jazzy homages to Picasso and ballet legend Nijinsky, who stayed here in its previous incarnation.”

Extremely pleased and will recommend to anyone going to Rome.
Also, it was amazing to have a wonderful restaurant on sight for breakfast !! and that staff was also very kind and courteous.
