Hotel Nazionale in Rome

You're in Rome. Why? Certainly not in your room. Your hotel room should only be used for storing your things while you're out and about, or for dropping it off with the owner. That being said, the Nazionale was a great hotel. Clean, with a great view of the square. Breakfast was all you need to fuel up before hitting the road (if you're going to bother). The staff was knowledgeable, polite, and very accommodating. A completely positive experience. The taxi ride from the airport to the hotel was twice as expensive as the ride back (we were staying in Fiumicino, so it was even longer); that's how they attribute this to good contacts! And great directions. But here's why this place is 5 stars. No, it didn't have a fancy floor-to-ceiling glass shower. But who needs one? This hotel is 5 stars because of the price and the location. And if you're a tourist, that's all you should be looking for. Unless you're trying to impress your girlfriend, in which case you're doomed because it's a slippery, never-ending descent. The hotel is right in the middle of everything. We took a taxi to the Vatican, but it was actually a 20-minute walk back. The Spanish Steps are at the edge of everything you want to see, 20 minutes from the top. Same with the Colosseum (with a little misdirection). Porta Flaminia is about 20 from there. Trevi is about 10 minutes away, the Pantheon about 5 minutes away... you're a block from Via del Corso for shopping. You don't need anything else. It's a stone's throw from the best gelato I've had in Italy (get the lemon and bosco). Walk around the neighborhood at night, it's safe, there's military police everywhere (you're across from the seat of government). If I went back, I'd definitely stay here again.

Great staff, very easy walking distance to all the sights. Simple but excellent breakfast. The rooms are a bit dated, especially the bathroom, but that's not a big deal.

Everything was PERFECT, the room was spacious and very clean. The situation was perfect. And most importantly, the reception was unparalleled. The staff was always smiling and ready to answer any of our questions. Thank you, we highly recommend this hotel.

The location of this hotel is perfect for anyone looking to stay close to the main attractions here in Rome. I booked the Basic Single Room and it was very spacious and comfortable for single travelers. The price may seem high but the location, service, and safety makes up for it. There is a police presence outside the hotel as your right by the Parliament adding a sense of safety throughout the day. The front desk was very helpful and respectful at check in and check out. If I ever come back to Rome and it’s in my budget I will definitely highly consider staying here again.

I really liked this hotel.
Everything is great! Beautiful rooms and lobby!
But the breakfasts could be a little better.

Very good location

The hotel is located in the Montecitorio Palace Square where the Italian House of Representatives is located. It is very safe and has an excellent location. It is only a 5-minute walk from the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain and 10 minutes from Piazza di Spagna. The room is large and comfortable. It will be my first choice next time I come.

The hotel building is from the 19th century and is a cultural relic, so the facilities are relatively old and the soundproofing is very average. If you mind the noise, don't stay here. The hotel service is OK, but the male waiter didn't take the initiative to help with the luggage when I left, which is a bit of a minus. The auntie cleaned the room very well and would help you fold your pajamas. The hotel is in a very good location, right in the old city of Rome, and because it is next to the House of Representatives, there are many police and it is very safe. In short, I still recommend it.

I visited this place for my honeymoon and was very satisfied with the location, service, and breakfast. The location is really the best!

Good location
