B&B Navona First

B&B Navona First has at rooms located in at least two different buildings. The residenze we stayed in was located in a quiet street, very close to Piazza Novona, a great neighbourhood. Just around the corner there where nice little restaurants and cafe's, shops and pubs.
A big plus for having a communal kitchen, and free internet. The breakfast was the normal coffee, juice and croissant in a cafe around the corner. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.
The first night we stayed in a very nice, comfortable but smaller attic room (with no window, but an AC), but we were moved to a bigger room for the following nights (with a window, and AC). I would definately stay there again, and I have alreaddy recommended the place to my friends, although I would request a room with a window just because I'm more comfortable with that.
The B&B offer transport too and from the airport, we booked transport when we were leaving, and where surprised over the standard of the transport. We expected to be picked up in a normal taxi, but instead a very fancy car with a driver dressed in a suit picked us up. The transport to the airport was very comfortable, well worth the money.

A small hotel in a fantastic location. It's the location and the cleanliness of the hotel which would make me return. The room was small but we weren't in it much but it was bright and modern with air con and a small fridge. We did buy some wine to drink in the room but unfortunately no glasses were provided and when we tried to access the communal kitchen to get some we found that it was locked after 8.00pm so no access after that! Shower room was very small and compact but shower excellent-- washbasin is in the bedroom. Stairs to our room (which was one of the lowest) were very steep would be difficult for anyone with small children.

This hotel was a bit of a find. I checked on Laterooms and it seemed like the ideal location and the price was extremely reasonable. I was taking my brother, sister and mother to Rome and it was their first time, I have been a couple of times before so knew the area that would be great from a location sense and easy for us to get around. The location is ideal, you can walk comfortably to all the key locations, it is about 20 mins from everything, whether it is the Coliseum, Vatican City, Trastevere, shopping area Via Del Corsa, Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain, it allowed us to spend a day in each area and walk back to the hotel in the evening. It is very close to the Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. The only down side to the location is that most if not all of the restaurants are there for the tourists so you will end up paying higher than normal prices for mediocre food. One word of advice is research the restaurants before going otherwise you will just end up going to the local ones and probably think that the food in Rome is not great! With regards to bars – Campo di Forno is about 5 mins away where you will find a great out door market selling fresh fruit and in the evening transforms to a square full off bars mixed with both resident Italians and tourists once again the prices are higher than most places, but the vibe is fantastic.
Now onto the hotel itself, they have two different buildings, one is the one which you will see as the address and the building is on Vicolo Della Cancelleria which is on a quieter street and has less rooms– this is where we stayed. The room easily accommodated the four of us, however if you need more room than a Bedroom and bathroom it may feel small. There were two levels within the room, this was achieved by the fact that the room height was so great that they have fitted a make shift mezzanine level that had two more beds on it but you can stand up there quite comfortably – I will stress that it is quite hard to climb up and down on the wooden staircase, but if you are ok with heights then you will be fine.
The rooms were very clean and were made every day. There is also a full size shared kitchen area, which is ideal if you buy things that you might fancy while in the room, there was also an 8 seater dining table which no one used for eating, but was quite a comfortable addition to the bedroom and there was access to free internet which you could use to do anything as long as no one else in the other rooms was using it. I think there were about 5 rooms in total so when ever we went back to the rooms you very rarely met anyone else which made the whole area feel huge.
I think for the cost, location and size it was ideal for us as a adult family, but would work just as well for a group of friends or people with young children – I will definitely be telling everyone that I know about this place as it added to the beauty of Rome by being able to stay in a place like this.

The receptionist is nice and friendly! The room is pretty big and kitchen modern and full. Location is great!
But: 1. On Saturday nights extremely noisy; 2 Very narrow stairs (no elevator), 2 flights up; 3 130 euro/night is not that great price
4 The breakfast- cruason+very good capuchhino+juice.

Fantastic location, very near Piazza Navona & Pantheon. Very close to many restaurants. Could walk to all major sights within 15-20 minutes. Lovely room, tastefully decorated & newly refurbished. Communal kitchen & computer with free internet. Have already recommended this to friends and family. A real gem!
