Imagine throwing open your shutters in the morning and watching the Piazza Navona wake up! The location and view is worth every penny. We had the large suite and it was modern and clean. Excellent bathroom.

Don't let the entrance scare you off. You come in a heavy wooden door behind the patio restaurant, through another locked iron gate, up 2 flights of stairs in a dank concrete stairwell, and finally into the suites. Once there though, it is simply lovely. Our finest accomodations in Italy.

The heavy double pane windows block out almost all of the noise from the piazza when it's time to sleep. The common kitchen area provides coffee that you can take back to your room, and a meeting area for planning your day (we travelled with another couple).

Breakfast in the Dolce Vita below was adequate for our needs (excellent cappiccino), although they don't get going until later than we would have liked. We had early morning tours booked and had to rush through breakfast.

We will definitely go back to the Navona 71 if we're ever lucky enough to find ourselves back in Rome.

More of an apartment than a B&B or hotel. Rooms are modern, spacious and very clean. Do your own research as the owners do not live in the block and therefore no one to ask advice.

Our room was one of 6 and unfortunately we got the room at the back of the hotel so instead of overlooking the Piazza Navona our window overlooked the hall entrance enclosure which was a bit smelly, however this meant there was no noise whatsoever. As we were only there for two hectic days this was just a perfect base to get our heads down.

Breakfast if you have time was lovely sitting out on the Piazza and tea/coffee, bread & crossaints was enough to start out your busy morning.

I would definately stay here again though would ask for a room at the front overlooking the Piazza.

Concerning the location: Piazza Navona! you can't find a better place to stay in Rome. The rooms with view on the place are great.

Concerning the hotel: the inside has been fully restored in 2007 in a modern way. The room we had was large (about 25m²) with tv and fridge. It's all very clean. The house keeper doesn't live there. You got the keys and you really feel like home (with hotel services !). You can make a cup of coffee and drink at your window, enjoying the view.

The breakfast is served at the restaurant just below. it's really basic: hot bevrage, juice, 1 croissant and bread. To be honest, it's the only thing to be improved.
