Navona Essence Hotel

Aside from the convenient location and kind staff, unfortunately I would not recommend this hotel. The sound proofing is terrible - we had to ask to move rooms as we could hear the room next door playing their TV/music late into the night. The room we moved to was slightly better but we could still hear conversation of people next door. The staff were friendly but overall not worth it.

Great hotel located centrally in Rome with always-available helpful staff at the front desk, located right beside a lovely public square with great restaurants and atmosphere. The hotel is located in a small street, some might consider it an alley. You will need to walk for approx. 5 mins over cobblestone to access the hotel, which if you are carrying lots of luggage will be physically challenging. However, once checked in you are in a great location to walk to most of the main attractions in Rome (we walked to the Colleseum and the Vatican City for example). The room was fine and did the job, the bed was comfortable. There was no view from our room. We were right beside the elevator and we could hear people getting in and out of the elevator which woke us up very early one morning. The bathroom was fine, the shower was broken initially and water was splashing out of the shower area, we informed the staff at the front desk and it was repaired that same day which was very impressive! One should expect that hotels in the city centre of Rome will be small. This hotel is small, there is no bar or lounge area in the hotel for example. There is a breakfast area but we did not have breakfast in the hotel.

Our reservation at Navona Essence Hotel for the 26th of December was cancelled by the hotel only two days before arrival, without any explanation. We had already booked our flights and were forced to find last-minute accommodation at much higher prices. Completely unacceptable behavior and practice. I would not recommend this hotel.

The Navona Essence Hotel could not be in a better location. A very short walk to Campo de Fiori, most major tourist sights are a 20 minute walk from this hotel. A quiet hotel with an elevator, all was well with our stay until the day before our departure. My partner woke up with a row of perhaps 9 tiny bug bites on his left arm. We, unfortunately, left the window slightly open the previous night and we thought some flying insect had entered and repeatedly bit my partners arm. The next morning my partners arm was in bad shape. The tiny bites were now much larger, very itchy, and uncomfortable. We flew home, arriving too late to visit a clinic. My partners arm was not better, still itchy, uncomfortable and oozing slightly. A trip to Emergency confirmed my partner had been bitten by a bed bug. We were shocked, but research indicated bed bug infestation is quite common in all hotel classes, on airplanes and other modes of transportation. I emailed the hotel. giving them our room number and the unfortunate news that their hotel had a bed bug infestation. I heard nothing from the hotel, so I wrote a longer, more detailed email, asking for a reply. I was not asking for any discount or refund, my purpose was to make sure they addressed this serious health concern. After a total of 3 emails. I gave up and decided to post a review. I have no idea if the hotel has addressed their bed bug issue. I suspect that they have not. I would advise staying in a different hotel in Rome, as dealing with your clothing packed in suitcases is labor intensive, and bed bug bites can be quite uncomfortable and unsightly.

Great little boutique hotel located in the perfect spot. From this hotel you can easily walk to any of the main attractions within 30mins removing the need for public transport providing you don't mind walking that is.||The staff are super friendly and accommodating and the hotel has been recently refurbished to a high standard.||The only downside I can think of is that it's located on a narrow street. Our taxi from the airport had to pick us up / drop us off at the end of the street, but ultimately only a small inconvenience.

The BEST location, just steps from Campo de Fiori. Roscioli oven and salumerie right down the street with great shopping. |We stayed in the guesthouse and loved it. Very clean, quiet, private. Really comfortable bed and pillows and the shower was the best. The only negative thing I can think of is that storage is very limited. We got used to it pretty quickly though. |Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend and would stay there again if I ever get back to Rome.

Truly delightful hotel. Location is unbeatable, room was clean and spacious, bed is very comfortable.

This hotel was amazing. Loved that it was smaller and within walking distance of all major attractions. The staff were spectacular and the room was clean. We especially loved how it was tucked away and super quiet for those times when you want to just relax. Perfect start to our honeymoon! Update: Just got back from our 2nd stay here and it was amazing. This time we stayed in a room in the guest house and it was just as nice, if not more so than the Junior Suite. Staff was just as remembered, super helpful and kind!
