Hotel Lancelot

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Lancelot during my visit to Rome, and it was an unforgettable experience. The hotel is ideally located near the Colosseum in a cozy neighborhood, with stunning views of the Colosseum and the surrounding historic sites from our hotel room balcony. The hotel's location made it easy to explore the city, with many of Rome's top attractions within walking distance, and then come back in the evening with many great dinner options only blocks away. From the moment my wife and I booked, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of the stay was perfect. They assisted with travel logistics to and from the airport, helping to make the long travel day transitions seamless. We were fortunate to meet Mrs. Khan and her family, getting historical insight on the hotel and many of the sites we planned on visiting during our stay. Each morning the breakfast was perfect with the smell of fresh baked pastries welcoming us each AM before we set off to explore. The service at Hotel Lancelot was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to provide guidance, recommendations, and make sure everything about our Rome trip went smoothly. If you're planning a trip to Rome and want to stay in a hotel with quick access to the historic sites but still has the neighborhood feel for winding down after exploring, I highly recommend Hotel Lancelot. It truly made our visit to Rome a memorable experience.

We stayed at the Hotel Lancelot twice during our trip. The first room we had was on the 3rd floor and was a nice size with a small but private balcony that we enjoyed sitting on. The bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows. The bathroom and shower were both small but serviceable. The amenities were good. Wardrobe in the room, TV and a desk. Very comfortable room and we enjoyed our stay in it. |Our second stay, our room was on the 6th floor and had a large, private terrace with a view of the Colosseum. There was a large sitting room with a kettle and a small, private balcony just through the oriental pocket doors as well. Bedroom had a desk, wardrobe and a TV. This bathroom was much larger with a tub/shower combo. This stay was WOW! We enjoyed the first room we had on the 3rd floor but this room on the 6th was so much better! The view from the terrace is amazing! Very comfortable to sit out at the table on the terrace, even in December. ||Small elevator for use. No refrigerator in either room. Breakfast selection is very good and delicious. A variety of fruits, meats, croissants, pastries, coffee and juices. The cleaning staff do an excellent job of keeping the rooms sparkling. The bar was a nice place to have a drink. We made reservations for the Christmas Eve dinner at the hotel and it did not disappoint! A 4 course meal that was very nicely done! We didn't eat dinner at the hotel on any other nights but we were told that it was very good just on a normal basis, though we can only say for certain that the Christmas Eve meal was delicious! |The good people at this hotel work are magnificent at making you feel special and well taken care of. The conversations we had had were as great as our stay was and were definitely highlights for us! The hotels location is very good! A quiter area, though the street that runs in front of the hotel is a busy one. The Colosseum is a very short 10 minute or so walk from the hotel. Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum are very close as well. They will call you a taxi when you are in need. There is limo service available as well at this hotel. We just can't say enough nice things about this hotel and it's staff! We would absolutely stay at the Hotel Lancelot again and truly hope to do so in the future!

We chose the Hotel Lancelot because of Cruise Critic recommendations and specific Facebook posts. And we couldn’t agree more. |We arranged transportation to the hotel by our reservation. And our driver was there when we arrived. His English was excellent and pointed out things along the way.|When we arrived our room was ready. We requested a Coliseum view room and we were not disappointed. We had a small terrace with table and chairs and lush gardens. We did have to move a fern frond to take a picture of the Coliseum.|The room was small and comfortable. No fridge or microwave, we didn’t need it anyway. My husband went down for ice in a small, quaint bar, and came back with very nice highball glasses too.|They also offer family meals in the evening, which were very good, $25 person. Three courses with wine.|We walked everywhere from there.|We also arranged for a private car to take us to Civitavecchia for our cruise. Great!|If we are fortunate enough to go to Rome again, we’d stay in a heartbeat!

Lancelot is more like a B&B than a "hotel". I'd stay again! Very friendly Italian staff & owner. Quiet residential street. Clean & updated room. Hot water (some Italian hotels have energy-saving lukewarm showers). The small shower is a squeeze for large persons but we were fine. Fresh fruit + pastry + meats n' cheeses as breakfast with large tables set where guests chats for the morning. Bar + library + courtyard -- with good local wines -- where guests chat in the evening. Easy walk to the Forum. And it's not expensive! Some complain about their old key system?!🤷‍♂️ We had no issues with keys, and I felt safer because the staff remembers which room you're in. 5 stars 🤩

We enjoyed three nights at the Hotel Lancelot. Very accommodating staff. Clean rooms. Plentiful breakfast. The bar/lounge was a nice touch after a long day of touring. The staff was always willing to arrange for a taxi for us, and transport to the airport for our early morning flight home. They also provided 'to go' breakfasts for us on two days due to early start times which was extremely appreciated. The hotel is in walking distance of the Coliseum. I recommend this hotel and will stay here again.

Hotel Lancelot is a family run hotel with a family feeling. I had a single room with a balcony. My bed was very comfortable as was my pillow. There was a closet and a bench for my luggage. There was also a desk. The bathroom only had a shower and was completely satisfactory. There was an elevator to the upper floors. |Breakfast was served each morning and was awesome. Pastries, meats, cheeses, fruit, breads, coffee, juices and cappuccino to order. You were asked to leave your key at the desk when going out. It is in walking distance to the coliseum, gelato and many restaurants. Totally safe place to stay.

The Lancelot is a decent 3-star hotel in a quiet residential street very close to the Colosseum. The lobby and breakfast room was quite cosy. The room on the other hand somewhat bare. Bathroom minuscule. But all very clean. Walls very thin so do bring earplugs. A really nice breakfast with good choices.

Great location 5 minutes walk from the Colosseum. Terrific friendly service. Spacious and spotless room. Excellent buffet breakfast with a wide choice. Very good value for money. It is stylishly furnished and refreshingly traditional : a throwback to a bygone era.

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.
