I was a little leery about staying at the Piccola Navona because it did not have a 24-hour front desk, and one had to type in a security code to enter the outer door. Luckily, my friend and I arrived at a time when the outer door was open, and we were given keys to the outer door and to our room. The staff we dealt with, Ellie and Alberto, were more than kind and pleasant. Our rooms were immaculate and comfortable. We had a nice breakfast included.
The Piccola Navona is within easy walking distance of the Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and the Campo dei Fiori. And there is a taxi stand within a few steps. I would stay there again--no hesitation.
They advertise an airline transfer, and they did arrange one back to Fiumincino. However, our flight to Rome was delayed an hour. When I contacted the service they had cancelled the transfer apparently because it was inconvenient for the driver. There is a taxi line at the airport and the fares are regulated so arranging a transfer beforehand with the hotel is not necessary.
