Hotel Nautilus

I spend one night there with my family and we had all of our belongs stolen inside of our car on the next morning after checkout. All luggage was inside the car and it was stolen.

The hotel is 3 blocks from touristy areas including the Vatican, but has a very residential feel. There are many great restaurants and Gellato shops nearby (L’Archetto for Pizza and Gelateria dei Grachi for dessert can’t be beat). There is a great food store (Castronini) to buy spices, oil, pasta to take home. There is a grocery store & pharmacy around the corner if you need to stock up on edibles/drinks. The hotel is clean and quiet. If you have a big family with young kids...it’s probably not going to be your thing. Hotel is on the 2nd floor, and while there is an elevator, you still need to go up 3-4 steps to reach it (and it’s very small - don’t think a stroller would work too well). For adults looking for a clean place to lay their heads down at night, big fluffy towels, lots of hot water in the shower, and a safe, quiet neighborhood away from all-night areas (everyone seems to disappear after 10pm), but that is AMAZINGLY close to tourist areas & transportation, then this is the hotel you are looking for. The staff are very friendly and sweet - breakfast is delicious (but there are many great options for breakfast where the locals go, like Sciascia Cafe around the corner with the best breakfast mini sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life). The price was so low that I wasn’t expecting much beside a bed, but honestly I would have paid double given how wonderful my stay there was. I will definitely be staying here again if/when I make it back to Rome again.
