About
Primo Piano Suites
Primo Piano Suites occupies the piano nobile of a historic building on Via Giuseppe Zanardelli, a lively street that connects Piazza Navona to the River Tiber. With just six rooms, the guest house keeps things personal: guests mention a warm welcome, help with luggage, and hosts who hand out local recommendations as freely as they do arrival drinks.
The location is the headline. Nearly every review calls out how easy it is to reach Rome's most-visited sights on foot — Piazza Navona and the Pantheon are a couple of minutes' walk, the Trevi Fountain about ten, and the Colosseum and Vatican within a comfortable stroll. Rooms are simple but well cared for, with parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, and coffee machines, and breakfast is served in-room.

In brief
What works, what to weigh

- In-room breakfast included — Breakfast is served in the room and described as assorted and plentiful, with fresh bread, cereal, and coffee — a convenient way to start a day of sightseeing.
- Clean, comfortable rooms — Rooms are described as spotless and cozy, with parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, and coffee machines. Daily cleaning keeps everything fresh.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No lift — stairs involved — The suites are on an upper floor of a historic building, and guests warn of quite a few stairs to climb. This could be a challenge for those with mobility issues or heavy luggage.
- Small property, limited on-site facilities — With only six rooms, there is no restaurant or lounge beyond the coffee shop, and no pets are allowed. Guests seeking full hotel amenities may find the offering minimal.
- Breakfast is simple, not lavish — While breakfast is included and appreciated, it is described as assorted rather than elaborate — expect bread, cereal, and coffee rather than a hot buffet.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 12:00 and 20:00, and check-out between 08:00 and 10:00. Late arrivals outside these hours may not be accommodated.

04 — Location
Getting around Rome
The property sits in Rome.
Piazza Navona: A two-minute walk from the suites, this baroque square is ringed by cafes and street artists, with Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers at its centre.
The Pantheon: Rome's best-preserved ancient monument is about a five-minute stroll away. The oculus and the sheer scale of the dome still impress after 2,000 years.
Trevi Fountain: Toss a coin over your shoulder to ensure your return — the fountain is roughly a ten-minute walk through narrow lanes from the hotel.
Colosseum & Roman Forum: A 20-minute walk (or a short tram ride) takes you to the heart of ancient Rome. The Palatine Hill and Forum are best visited early to beat the crowds.
