The Nakissa Inn is a bed & breakfast in Rome’s Rione Monti, just 450 metres from the Colosseum and 250 metres from the Cavour metro station. Located on the first floor of a historic building, it offers a private courtyard with a table and chairs where guests can relax away from the traffic of the city centre.
The rooms, ranging from 14 to 17 square metres, are furnished simply and functionally, with tiled floors, air conditioning and a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, which offers solutions for couples, families and small groups thanks to double, triple and quadruple rooms.
The location in the heart of ancient Rome is one of its most appreciated features: guests can walk in just a few minutes to the Imperial Forums, the Vittoriano and the bus stop for Termini station, about one kilometre away. The staff offer a luggage storage service and a tour desk to organise sightseeing, and an airport shuttle is available on request, useful for those arriving from Ciampino or Fiumicino.
The Nakissa Inn offers three room types designed to accommodate from two to four people, all overlooking the inner courtyard and characterised by a quiet atmosphere despite the central location. Each room has air conditioning, a tiled floor and a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, as well as free WiFi available throughout the property.
The main differences concern size and bed configuration: from the 14 square metres of the Double Room, designed for couples, to the 17 square metres of the Quadruple Room, suitable for small groups or families with children thanks to the combination of a double bed and single beds. The Triple Room sits in between, with 16 square metres and space for three guests. In all cases, the desired bed type should be communicated at the time of booking.
The Double Room, at 14 square metres, is the most compact option at the Nakissa Inn and is designed mainly for couples. It overlooks the property’s inner courtyard, which ensures a good level of quiet despite the proximity to the Colosseum. It has air conditioning, a tiled floor and a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer.
At 16 square metres, the Triple Room is slightly larger than the Double Room and combines a single bed with a large double bed, making it ideal for small groups of friends or families with one child. Here too the view opens onto the inner courtyard, and there is a private bathroom with shower.
The Quadruple Room is the most spacious room type at the Nakissa Inn, with 17 square metres split between a large double bed and two single beds, enough to accommodate up to four people. It is the best choice for larger families or groups who want to share the same space, while still having a private bathroom and air conditioning.
The Nakissa Inn provides guests with a range of services designed to make a stay in the centre of Rome easier, starting with luggage storage and a tour desk to organise visits to the city’s main monuments. An airport shuttle is available on request, useful for those arriving from or departing to Ciampino and Fiumicino airports, while daily housekeeping and a concierge service ensure attentive care throughout the stay.
The property, non-smoking throughout, is equipped with a lift, heating, air conditioning and a safe, as well as a 24-hour security system with a smoke alarm and key access. The rooms, fitted with a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, are complemented by an on-site convenience store for everyday small needs.
The Nakissa Inn is located in Rione Monti, one of the oldest and most characteristic districts in central Rome, a short walk from the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums. The narrow streets of Monti, with their craft workshops, small restaurants and evening venues, retain the atmosphere of a working-class district that has remained almost intact despite its proximity to the great archaeological monuments. The property’s private courtyard offers a quiet corner to sit away from the traffic of Via Cavour, the street on which the building stands.
Getting around from here is easy: Cavour metro station, on line B, is just 250 metres away, while Termini station, the city’s main railway hub, can be reached in about 1.3 km or by the bus that stops right in front of the property. The Colosseum is 450 metres away, the Arch of Constantine 450 metres away and the Imperial Forums 500 metres away, all reachable on foot in under ten minutes. For those arriving by air, Ciampino airport is about 12 km away, while Fiumicino is 19 km away, both connected to the centre by shuttle services.
Walking from the Nakissa Inn, you can easily reach Piazza Venezia, 700 metres away, and the Trevi Fountain, about 950 metres away, classic stops for a day on foot in the historic centre. The Palatine Hill and the Domus Aurea, both about 500 metres away, allow you to explore Roman archaeology in a single visit. In the evening, the venues of Rione Monti, such as the bars around Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, are the go-to spot for a drink before dinner.
