Nerva Boutique Hotel

We stayed 2 nights in this charming hotel in the Monti neighborhood. Although the room was small (like so many hotel rooms in Rome!) it was very well thought out and comfortable. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive; especially our breakfast server (I'm sorry, I can't remember his name!) He was so sweet to cheer my husband on while he tried his best Italian to order breakfast. I really liked the location- away from the maddening crowds yet close to unique shops and restaurants that didn't feel like tourist traps. Would absolutely stay here again!

Absolutely beautiful hotel in the perfect location in Rome! Everything about this hotel was top-notch; we couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. The receptionist that greeted us is quite possibly the friendliest, bubbliest person that I’ve ever met. She gave us fantastic local “non-touristy” recommendations. The room itself was gorgeous, clean, and perfect for what we needed. We are breakfast in the hotel twice, and both the food and service were fantastic. I absolutely recommend staying at this lovely hotel when in Rome!

The highlight of this hotel is undoubtedly the breakfast—an absolute must for every guest. Every morning at 6:45, the scent of freshly baked croissants fills the air. You can head down to a beautifully set table with fresh flowers and enjoy Alpen Yogurt from the mountainous region of Sterzing Vipiteno, whole-grain toast with mortadella, organic eggs, and an incredible espresso. And don’t forget to share a piece of your croissant with my little sparrow on the terrace! In the evening, you can use the token received at check-in to enjoy either an avocado, strawberry, and blueberry smoothie or a glass of prosecco on the veranda. The staff is another highlight—polite, always smiling, and welcoming. Staying here feels like visiting old friends. Upon check-in, the hotel provides a carefully curated and frequently updated list of the best dining spots in different parts of Rome. We tested it, and every place was delicious, authentic, and full of locals—far from the usual tourist traps. The room is a perfect mix of design, comfort, and history, with a stunning view of Roman ruins, a great bed, and fast Wi-Fi (5 Mbps). And finally, the location—just a 3-minute walk from a road with breathtaking sunrise views of the Colosseum, yet nestled in a quiet and peaceful area. Thank you for the hospitality—it was an incredible stay! 💛

I was telling someone about our stay years ago in Rome and it occurred to me that I might have not left a review. If things haven’t changed since years ago this is a great smaller-size hotel. The staff were very accommodating. The ladies with the morning breakfast (for instance: fresh squeezed blood oranges on demand) is something we reminisce on occasion. It is weird to say but this hotel was one of your highlights on our trip to Rome. We went to Sorrento for a few days and returned to Rome and stayed at this hotel again. The staff recognized us and upgraded us to a fabulous suite that wasn’t booked. Without asking or informing us. Just automatic. What a surprise and treat. Hopefully their staff is still as stellar. All the best.

The bed was very comfortable, they arranged flowers and wine for our anniversary. The staff was very pleasant, we also enjoyed the free mini bar and drink tokens upon arrival. The rooms was spacious for two people. We would definitely come back if we visit Rome again.

Found this hotel from Rick Steves book. It was lovely. Great location near the colosseum but tucked away on a nice street. The staff was the best, so helpful with everything from reservations for restaurants to calling taxis and arranging airport transportation. Aurora - the restaurant was very nice- great food and drinks. Would highly recommend Nerva when in Roma!

Travelled to Rome to see college students studying abroad and so my son could run the Rome marathon. This hotel, the staff and the room was wonderful! Location to the colosseum, the forum and Palatine hill is perfect! We hope our travels take us to Rome again and when they do we will stay here. I should mention we stayed in the annex. Two beds, two separate areas with individual bathrooms. Just around the corner from the main entrance. It was awesome!!! I slept in the main bed - very comfortable and my son on the pull out. Not one complaint about the bed from him so it had to be good! Staff was incredible - from front desk to bartender to breakfast hostesses to cleaning people! Thank you Nerva for a great stay!

We popped in for drinks and light bites and loved it! The spring rolls and beef samosas were delicious! It ended up storming while we were there so we ended up staying longer than we expected but it was such a cozy spot we didn’t mind it at all! The front desk staff and bartender were both so kind to us, especially since we weren’t guests of the hotel.
