Steps away from the beautiful Via Giulia is this gem of a hotel that occupies two floors in a residential building with marble stairs. The location is exceptional for exploring the historic center and Trastevere neighborhoods on foot. We felt like we were in striking distance on foot from most major sites. The staff was incredibly welcoming from the very beginning, and our room was ready two hours ahead of time. We most appreciated the friendly staff, who helped when there was a small problem in the room and arranged a car service and early breakfast, the quiet location, the daily cleaning and water service, the convenient espresso machine, the very comfy, large beds, and the modern bathroom, which was much bigger than most European bathrooms. Transportation is difficult in Rome, but at least at this location we could catch buses that run along the river or nearby larger street. Breakfast at the hotel Navona was a pleasure down in the cool stone cave, but you have to walk for five minutes to get there. The biscuits and coffee on both floors of the inn helped fill in the gaps! Rome River Inn checked all of our boxes and then some, and we will recommend it to friends and family. Thank you to all the staff for such a great week!
