9 Best Hotels in Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori, and the Jewish Ghetto, Rome

A cheerful hotel with irreverent art that overlooks Tiber Island, citizenM’s first Italian property has a young sensibility and is located close to Rome’s most ancient attractions.

On a pedestrian-only street near the Pantheon, this lovely little hotel has an air of warmth and serenity, as well as a rooftop bar with great views of Rome.

Guests choose this hotel, run by members of the same family for 200 years, not only for its prime location, but also for its welcoming staff, top-notch service, and comfy beds. The decor is nothing to write home about: the lobby is an all-white affair with furniture you might find in your grandmother's house, and some rooms are a bit bland. For families or those looking for a bit more space, Santa Chiara has suites that can accommodate two to five people. Most, but not all, of the rooms and suites have small showers (and no bathtubs). If you'd like more room when you're scrubbing down, request on booking.
