Hotel Nazionale

"Most of my hotel reviews end with the words “When we return, we will definitely stay here again”. My guilty confession is this - I don’t always do that. On longer reflection, perhaps the location of another hotel could be better? Or perhaps it was an overly fussy rigmarole at breakfast or any other minor niggle? It could be a tiny thing that prevents me from booking again. The Hotel Nazionale is the absolute exception. Since our first stay (so many years ago) we have returned to the Nazionale six times - it is that good. Saying that, would it be the hotel for you? Well if you’re a “gym-bunny” for example (it hasn’t got one) or like the “modernist” style, it may not be. If however, you value excellent personal service, a location that (IMHO) is unbeatable, then this is the hotel you should book. Step out of the hotel and note the ancient Egyptian obelisk, once a Roman sun-dial, a few steps more and you are gazing at the column of Marcus Aurelius. Turn right instead of left and you’re in front of the Pantheon (passing one of Rome’s top two coffee establishments). A couple of minutes past the column and you’re at the Trevi Fountain. Tired of all the history and need a little “retail therapy”? The Corso (and a little further the via Condotti) are steps away from the hotel. Last but not least, Giolitti and its famous ice creams (a little over-hyped in my opinion) is literally just around the corner. I also think the Nazionale to be very competitively priced, when you consider its amenities and location. We visit Rome a lot and since discovering the Nazionale - would stay nowhere else."

"Our friend, an airline pilot, recommended the hotel. The building is in great shape, impeccable service, great location. Clean, great atmosphere. Nice bar. We had a nice suite, but ask for a front-facing room. Located right on a quiet piazza next to the Italian Parliament. We spent time before dinners sharing wine out front on the patio. Walkable to everything so don't bother with a car, only taxis and service vehicles are allowed. Great restaurants all around and mini but well-stocked grocery stores within a short walk. Shout out to Patrick at the front desk, he actually took us to the train station after his shift. The whole staff is excellent, the bar is great. We'll be back!"

"We stayed at Hotel Nazionale Rome as a family of four and had a great experience. the hotel's location is absolutely perfect - right in the heart of the city and within walking distance of major attractions like the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and Piazza Navona. Our room was comfortable, clean, and spacious enough for our family, which made our stay very pleasant. the hotel has a warm, classic charm, and everything was well maintained. After long days of sightseeing, it was great to return to a cozy and peaceful room. The staff were courteous and helpful, always ready to assist with directions or recommendations, which made travelling with family much easier. Breakfast was also good, with a nice variety. Overall, Hotel Nazionale was a good choice for our family trip to Rome - great location, comfortable stay, and wonderful service."
