There are many wonderful areas of Rome, but the area around Relais Rome Sweet Home Navona is central to everything I love about the Eternal City: ancient monuments, museums, good restaurants, good subjects to draw and paint, and an overall good atmosphere. And, the room we stayed in was really nice; everything it was advertised to be. However, my first impressions were far from positive. Our room, and two others are on the second floor of a building which is shared by full time residents. So, the common areas--entry passage and staircase were pretty dingy and dimly lighted. But, the room was, plesantly, just the opposite--smartly designed, clean, ample closet space, and comfortable, if a bit tight.

The concierge, Giorgio, was extremely pleasant and accomodating--and in our particular case, apologetic for the interruption in water supply due to city work. I think he is above and beyond average in helping guests 'get to know' the area.

I do not think I would stay here again; prefering a regular hotel or apartment instead. But, I would recommend this type of arrangement to travelers who are perhaps, younger, and less affected by first impressions.

This was a nice place. It is like having a hip apartment right in the middle of Rome. You can really walk to all the major sights from here. We got the junior suite which was pretty small for 3 people, basically less than a metre of space around 3 sides of a big king size bed, with a single tucked into nook in the side.

It is really easy to get here from the airport on public transport. Catch the train from the airport and get of at Trastavere, then go outside Trastavere station and catch tram 8 to it's last stop at Largo Argentina. The apartments are on a street perpendicular to the tram stop, a 1 minute walk.

The room itself is beautiful and location great. HOWEVER, be prepared with a cell phone that works in Italy. Since the property is unmanned, you'll need it both when you arrive and if anything comes up. In our case, our location was having construction work done. There were regular blackouts and no hot water. We sent a distress Email (from the "reception" area) to no avail. Finding a public pay phone was impossible so we couldn't get any help until we literally bumped into the property manager on the street on our last day. He was very courteous and helpful but by that time it was basically too late. So, don't stay if you don't have a working cell phone and don't expect an traditional "hotel".

A nice room, modern and fresh, in a great location - 5 minutes from the Pantheon, Campo di Fiori & 10 mins to Piazza Navona. Bus stops close by will take you to the Colosseum & St Peter's. It doesn't look like much when you stand on the outside or walk up a couple of flights of steps but inside is a nice little sanctuary. The rooms are pretty tight but they've done a good job utilising the space. The service was good, though if you don't have a mobile phone, you will find it a little difficult to get in contact with the manager. If driving, be aware that parking inspectors work the alley this hotel sits on and are fairly ruthless in their attempts to clamp cars.
