Nakissa Inn

The location is what sells this hotel. The rooms we stayed in looked nothing like the picture on the page, but to their credit they do have triple and quadruple rooms which makes it nice for family travel. The shower drain in our room was slow and you must bring your own shampoo and conditioner. No breakfast; coffee is served on the terrace and water is also available. Our room was on the second floor - it was quiet; or maybe we were to tired to hear anything. There are about 15 steps up to the registration floor.

We started and ended our holiday in this hotel and what a little gem it is immaculately clean and great location. The staff were very helpful and polite, we would definitely recommend this to family and friends and hopefully we’ll be back again soon. Thank you for making our holiday a memorable one.

This hotel is extremely comfortable and very hospitable. We were met by the owner who let us into the hotel. It’s right in the heart of Rome. Easy walking distance to all the sights. Easy to get a good meal in the streets outside. I’d be surprised if you were disappointed.

Location: we struggled to locate the place; the building in which the inn is located did not even have a bell to buzz us in. We had to ring the bell of another hotel to buzz us in (we soon realised why that was the case, see check in below) Lift: doesn’t work. So we had to lug up 3 large suitcases and 2 kids up the stairs Check in: the door to the inn was closed; kept knocking no one came. Then called the number on the door, to which the person who answered replied that he will come in 10 mins to check us in. On asking why there is no one to check us in, the reply was that “how am I to know when will you be coming”. This was so weird - because none of this was mentioned in the confirmation of the room booking Check in process: the person who came to check us in was completely clueless about our the type of room we had booked; then spent 10 mins looking for the keys and then again showed us the wrong room. On clarifying at his end with the person who had taken the booking, he finally showed us the right room. All this while his attitude was that he is doing us a big favour by giving the room. Extremely rude attitude, not child friendly at all. I am surprised that with people like him at the hotel at employee or owner, this place still continues to be in existence Room: room was small, definitely not worth the price they charge Breakfast: they will tell you that room comes with breakfast, but breakfast for them is packed cereals, so avoid the breakfast. The street downstairs has very good breakfast options. For that matter avoid the hotel altogether

We stayed here in March 2022, 2 adults and 2 children. The hotel is very much a local hotel; it occupies the first floor of a building on the Main Street in the Monti area of Rome. It is not a big shiny glass thing like modern hotels but very definitely a traditional Roman hotel. You can see the forum from the pavement outside the hotel and the colosseum is two streets away - about a 5 minute slow walk. Directly opposite is a tour company. I don’t think you could get a better location. The hotel owner was very accommodating. Although breakfast is not officially provided in CoVID times, there was fruit, croissants, tea, coffee, etc available 24h a day. There was a seating area indoors and outdoors. The hotel has 7 rooms and we were shown 2 that could take a king size bed and two singles. We chose the slightly larger room overlooking the street. Although the owner warned us about the noise, it didn’t affect us apart from being too noisy to open the window at night. The air con wasn’t working (or I couldn’t make it work) so it was a little warm at night. No TV in the room but I don’t speak Italian so that was no loss. Free WiFi though. Otherwise I could not fault the hotel; it was clean, the shower was good, the bed comfortable. The owner and manager were very accommodating and helpful. This end of Via Cavour is definitely the place to stay.

This has been one of the best hotels stays I’ve had, and I’ve stayed at plenty of affordable hotels. The location is amazing! The colosseum is about an 8 minute walk, there are so many good restaurants, shops, gelato shops, and atms nearby, everything is within walking distance! It is also in a very safe feeling location. The hotel itself is very nice, it’s clean, spacious, and it actually has an ac unit in the room! The bed was very comfy and the water pressure in the shower was great and adjustable. There’s a cute little lounge and patio sitting area with water, coffee, and tea available to us. There is a full size fridge and a microwave in the lounge that we can use as well. The hotel owner was a very good host. When we arrived he gave us a map of the city and told us where we should visit for food, attractions, and the best gelato! He definitely went above and beyond to make sure we had the best service! He helped us when we needed to find a testing site for Covid (flight requirement), called in a car service to take us to the airport, and always made sure we had everything we needed in the room. We had to stay an extra day because our flight got moved a day later and we were able to stay in the same room for a better price! This man really cares about his business and I will definitely be staying at his hotel again and if I have any friends come to Rome I will tell them to stay here. When we booked the room I thought the price was too good to be true or that there would be a catch but no! Rooms look exactly as the pictures show and I found nothing wrong with my stay! If you are debating to stay here, you definitely should!
