It's been a few years since we were there but I wanted to put this review with my current TripAdvisor id....

We echo what all the other reviewers here have said...this hotel could not have been more perfectly located - we walked everywhere, from the Pantheon a 2 minute walk away to the Colosseum about 15 to 20 minutes, and too many other locations to mention. The room was spacious, all staff were very helpful (one even helped my now-fiancee be sure he had the correct words to ask my hand in marriage in Italian!) We booked our trip with Go-Today so this hotel was an upgrade in their package - and well worth it! Can't imagine what it would have been like to pay less but be at a hotel not as nice or central - it's the walking everywhere that really made the trip.

THIS HOTEL IS IN A GREAT LOCATION IN THE CENTRE OF ROME IN A PEDESTRIANISED AREA. WITHIN EASY WALKING DISTANCE OF ALL THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS.
WE DROVE INTO THE CENTRE OF ROME AND PARKED IN A PUBLIC CAR PARK (WHICH WAS SURPRISINGLY WELL PRICED). FROM THERE WE COULD HAVE WALKED BUT WITH 3 KIDS IN TOW WE TOOK A TAXI.
When we arrived the porter was lovely and entertained the children while we checked in. Then up in a small lift we found our comfortable rooms (no views). They were lovely and spacious and the sofa beds were converted into kids beds.
A modern bathroom with complimentary shampoos etc.
As it is pedestrianised it was safe for the kids to have a run around outside.
The breakfast is good with lots of choice, if you need an espresso they will get you one if you ask.
There are plenty of eateries nearby and the ice ceams are wonderfully yummy!
Be careful though! We got caught out big time in the Vatican City, 6 sandwiches 2 bowls of chips and 6 drinks, £80. If you go away from the main streets you can reduce this by £20 and have 8 pizzas, 2 salads and drinks with wine in lovely restaurants. Same goes for coffee, 7euros in the squares 1 euro down the side streets.
Rome is lovely, an ideal city with children as everything is close by and the Roman history fascinates them. If they lose interest, get 'em an ice cream!!
Beware though some site including the cistine chapel close at 4pm. We missed it boo hoo....

We had a great time in Rome and Hotel Nazionale was a perfect home base. Great room, very clean and an ideal location to explore Rome from.

We would definitely stay here again.

I would deffinitely recommend this hotel. It's situated in the Old Town, near all the main attractions so you can basically walk everywhere. The room was nice (we were upgraded to a De Luxe Room), it was clean and had everything that you needed. The staff were nice and the breakfast very good.
