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.
