Hotel Lancelot

I recommend this hotel very highly. Hotel is beautiful inside, immaculately clean, a traditional and classy interior. Service is impeccable, it has a 24/7 bar, the beds are very comfy and housekeeping every day does a great job. Breakfast is lovely. The area is quiet, but so close to all main sights. It's really excellent, and great value for what you get. We visited in December which is just a perfect time to beat the crowds and see beautiful Roma.

Absolutely Exceptional Stay at Hotel Lancelot! Our stay at Hotel Lancelot in Rome was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the customer service was outstanding — the staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. We booked the Colosseum Terrace Suite, and it was absolutely breathtaking! The view of the Colosseum from our private patio was unforgettable — it felt like a dream come true. The room itself was beautifully designed, spotless, and had everything we could possibly need. The food was incredible, from breakfast to dinner — every meal was fresh, flavorful, and served with warmth and care. I also celebrated a private birthday dinner, and the staff made me feel so special. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness made the evening one I’ll never forget. The hotel is immaculate, beautifully maintained, and full of charm. It truly captures the magic of Rome. Thank you, Hotel Lancelot, for making my birthday and our stay so special. My family and I will definitely be back — this hotel has our hearts!

I have stayed at this hotel four times since 2021 and it is my home away from home in Rome. The hotel is located just 10 mins away (walking distance) from the Colosseum. Very central location within Rome. The hotel itself is quiet and extremely well looked after by the owner and his great team of receptionists, who are very kind and helpful. The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable, and you also have the option of eating dinner at the hotel every evening. Breakfast is good with both sweet and savory options. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Will definitely return and thank you for another wonderful stay!

one of the best hotels that we have visited. in the best location, the quality is 10+++++, wonderful Jasmina with her kindness made everything extraordinary! From first mail for reservation till end ! The location is fantastic, a 10-minute walk to the Colosseum as well as to the Metro station, the rooms are spacious and extremely clean and comfortable, the staff is friendly, in a quiet street with a view of the Colosseum. For the highest recommendation!!! Many thanks to the whole team!

Our first time in Rome, and this hotel did not disappoint! We discovered this lovely hotel while researching places to stay and immediately felt it had everything we were looking for and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff made us feel so welcome. They kindly offered to store our bags so we could explore while our room was being prepared. Since the hotel is just a short walk from the Colosseum, we headed straight there to take in the sights such an incredible way to start our trip! When we returned, our room was ready, spotless, and absolutely beautiful. It even had a small balcony with a little table and chairs overlooking the Colosseum the view honestly took our breath away. We loved sitting out there in the evenings, listening to the sounds of the city and feeling the soft Roman breeze. We even slept with the doors open a few nights, just to enjoy that fresh air and the twinkling lights of Rome. Each morning, we enjoyed the included continental breakfast, which was delicious and beautifully presented. They offered fresh pastries, fruit, and other options and the free specialty coffee in the morning was such a treat! Starting the day with a cappuccino or espresso while watching the city wake up was one of our favorite moments. We also found the hotel’s location to be perfect for what we wanted to do. It’s within walking distance of so many incredible sites the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Scala Santa, and the Basilica of St. Mary Major all important stops on our pilgrimage. The Metro was easy to navigate once we got the hang of it, and even though the Vatican is a bit farther away, it was just a short cab ride from the hotel. We felt this hotel was in an excellent location for exploring both the ancient and spiritual sides of Rome. Every day, our room was cleaned and refreshed perfectly, and the front desk staff were always friendly, helpful, and full of great recommendations for dining and local spots. The hotel itself has such a charming, historic feel beautifully decorated, secure with gated entry, and full of character. Our stay here was truly wonderful a little slice of heaven in the heart of Rome. We can’t wait to return to this beautiful hotel the next time we visit!

First let’s start with the positives. The staff were all friendly, it had a lift and the room was spacious. Breakfast was minimal but sufficient to start the day. You may need to wait 15 minutes or so for a space to become available but that was okay too. The location is good being close to the Colosseum and there is a small patio on level 6 that provides a view. |The room has air conditioning but it is not possible to adjust and it is way too hot for our liking so we turned it off. Not sure if we would have coped in the searing summer but as it is nearly winter it was acceptable. The room only had sheer curtains and it felt like the light was always on and made sleep disrupted. 2 paper cups were provided in the room and one packet of 3 tissues. The cups leaked if you left water in them and a glass would be more friendly to the environment. The hot water was luke warm at best and made having a shave uncomfortable. No kettle or anyway to heat water to have a shave or make a cup of tea. I picked this hotel and the good news is my wife will not allow me to pick another. Also we were unable to eat at the restaurant on either of our last two nights. They had a private luncheon on both days and this made it not possible to cater for guests for the 3 course set dinner menu.

Charming hotel just a few meters away from the Colosseum. Friendly staff, comfortable bed, decent size single room and great breakfast. The only negative point was the shower which is really tiny and the drain doesn’t allow the water flow down properly. |Overall a nice stay in a nice location.

First family visit to Rome. Traveling with children… hotel… room and location was important for comfort. Staff very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We usually stay at big hotel chains… but so glad to have found this hotel…. It is small and charming. It was nice returning back… after long adventures in the city.🙏🏾😊

Adorable boutique hotel. In a gated entrance. Great customer service, great bar, great daily breakfast that is included. Had coffee and you could get a latte if you wanted one. Very clean hotel. Bathrooms were updated. We had the family room and it had one queen bed and two twins which was perfect for a family of 4. Hotel owner was so kind and helped us when my daughter was injured with an ankle and foot sprain. Great location! Easy walking to restaurants and the Colosseum. Grocery store nearby. No refrigerators in room but you can ask for glasses and ice for your water or drinks you buy. Had taxis or Uber for longer destinations. We will be back there to stay again!

Great "boutique" hotel located a mere three blocks from the Coliseum. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Shaded front and rear courtyards to beat the Rome heat while having a libation from the hotel bar. Also, a rooftop sitting area. Breakfast is provided in the morning. (Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella and prosciutto for breakfast !!!) A/C in our room worked fine. We even had a small terrace. Only two cons: Very small elevator. If you have a large piece of luggage, it's just you and that luggage on the elevator. Con number two: Small bathroom. Shower was very tight for a 6'3" 220-pound man. And no room for toiletries in the bathroom either. Other than that, I highly recommend this place.

This hotel was absolutely amazing to stay there on a 4 day trip to Rome! It had amazing accessibility to the colesium and in walking distance of many amazing resturants and an amazing accesibility to cabs! Overall great Oh wait im not done! The amazing staff service like a planned timed breakfast and service were you can schedule cabs! Their drink and meal options were of an amazing variety would reccomend for anyone in the area! 5 Stars OH WAIT the rooms are clean and comfy! 5 stars!

A sweet little hotel near the colosseum. Located on a quiet street. Attentive staff. Comfortable rooms. Their breakfast has a lot to offer, there's something for everyone. Good coffee! They do also offer dinner. Have not tried that yet, but the menu looks delicious. The price for a shared room was very reasonable. Within walking distance to the colosseum and metro. If I ever return to Rome I would stay here again!

A charming, small hotel located near the coliseum. The staff was very attentive. The hotel is cozy and welcoming. They serve a hearty "buffet" breakfast every morning that included something everyone will enjoy. Fresh fruit. Muesli. Meats. Cheeses. Breads. They also offer an optional dinner that we had one night. It was amazing. The owner dined with us, as did a few other hotel guests. Every course was delicious, especially the homemade panna cotta topped with blueberries for dessert. The hotel may not be in the middle of the city action but we liked the quieter area. Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance and the rest of the city is easily accessible by cab, metro or by foot.

Lovely. Friendly. Fabulous. And it is our first night here! We get to stay a whole week with our Rick Steves tour group. The dinner they have nightly at 730 pm is wonderful and lovely. Beautiful tables with lighted candles then comes the food!!! Must give reservations by 6pm if you want dinner here. It was amazing food and company. They also have a little bar area with cozy seating. This is a truly wonderful Rome experience. Come and enjoy this gem!!

My daughter and I stayed here in '14 on what was her first trip to ltaly. She was mesmerized by the the whole trip, but especially by Hotel Lancelot. Great property, location, amenities, staff. Nice lounge and dining too. Close walking distance to the center of ancient Rome and dozens of very good to fine dining establishments. Long story short, we are back for several days in '17. Nothing has changed.

Loved this place; I will stay here again in a heartbeat. Being hosted, not just hospitality, is a dying form but it has its bastions here and there. The Hotel Lancelot is one of those places. I don't think I've even been so well accommodated and truly hosted. The overall experience was comparable and as memorable as my stay at the Hyatt Regency in Hong Kong. Now this place is not the same luxury five star hotel as the Hyatt but everything about it's charm and the people working there along with the reception from the hotel owners made it among some of my most memorable stays. The owners made a point to routinely check in and talk to our group. They were friendly and often recommended great restaurants and places to stay. There was a genuine care from them and the rest of the staff whether or not we were having a good time. They kept the bar open late and the owners often had a drink with us -- even treated us to several drinks. They came to nearly every one of our shows at the Teatro Brancaccio, a few blocks to the north, and on the final night they invited us to the rooftop for drinks. It felt more like staying with friends than it did staying in a hotel. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. Very clean and had a charming decor. Many of them had balconies and I often took my breakfast up and ate overlooking towards to Colosseum. It's located on a sleepy street but very easily accessible to everything. We did several walks out to the Colosseum, Forum, Trevi Fountain, and so forth. I would also like to point out the photos are accurate and possibly don't fully capture how comfortable this place is to stay.

We stayed here for our stay in Rome and I was smitten with the balcony. The hotel is a couple of blocks from the Colosseum. The room was clean, air conditioning was sufficient (we were there in the hot summer days of August), and the staff was very friendly.

This is the only place I have and will ever stay in Rome. I just finished my fourth stay and there is nothing at all I don't like about this place. The owners and staff are the most kind and helpful people I know. The hotel is beautiful and perfectly clean. The food is perfect. Breakfast is included and it is beautiful. Dinner is an add-on option at an amazing value...but the food is beyond delicious! The location is also perfect, a small five minutes walk to the Colosseum and Forum. You will not be disappointed!

I stayed here last night and it was the first time ever at this hotel in Rome. The location is great - literally down the street from the Colleseum and the nearby area is very pretty, couldn't be happier. Upon entering, the staff was super sweet and chatted with me about Florence, what to do in Rome and said that the dinner they offer there is eaten family style in order to get to know the other people, which I thought was a really unique touch. I felt like they really cared about me having a nice stay. For the price (115 for one person) it was a great deal, especially for Rome. My room was very pretty and cozy and on my floor (6th) there was a stunning terrace that overlooks Rome. NIce! Breakfast was good, it was pretty abundant for Italy and I liked the coffee they use. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a three star that could be a four star (stars don't really MEAN anything in Italy). Its very convienent location-wise and the dinner menu looked pretty good even if I didn't get to try it.

Upon arriving, we were immediately treated like guests of honor by the concierge. He was so super friendly and helpful, and gave us lots of detailed information about the city. The staff in general really took care of us during our stay. The room itself was not spectacular decoration and comfort-wise, but the view was phenomenal! We could see the Colosseum while enjoying a beer outside among the flowers on our terrace. The dinners are served family-style, so you get to meet and chat with other guests. This was by far our favorite part of our stay. The food was great and the wine was also wonderful. Don't hesitate to participate in one of these truly enjoyable meals!

We loved everything about this place. It's a great location, near landmarks and transportation. It was our first time in Rome, and the staff could not have been more helpful in planning our itinerary and getting around the city. The room was nice and clean and ready early for us. We dined in the courtyard with other guests who were repeat customers and great company. If we ever go back, we would definitely stay here again.
