Guest Reviews
- David (10/5): Excellent stay and would recommend to others. - The location was excellent. The staff was fabulous. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good with lots of options. We wish breakfast would have started a little earlier. There were a few days we weren't able to have breakfast at the hotel because we had to leave early for site seeing.
- Karen (9/5): - Location, friendly staff, great breakfast. Loved it!
- Alliksaar (9/5): - Suurepärane asukoht, vaikne ümbrus ning väga sõbralik ja vastutulelik personal.
- Terrence (8/5): Very good, would stay again. - Perfect location. Staff helpful & hospitable. Room very small, but very clean.
- Kevin (10/5): Excellent staff and accomodations - Central location, breakfast included Nothing

- Vita (9/5): great location and nice hotel - this is such a great location !! hotel was clean and quaint ! staff very accommodating shower stall was super small
- Whitehead (7/5): Great location for historic sites. Small room and quite expensive. - The location was very good close to the Coliseum and numpties low cost eateries nearby. Very expensive and an extremely small room with a minuscule bathroom with nowhere to put toiletries.
The barman appeared to disappear at every available opportunity usually to Vape in the court yard.
I understand the hotel is family owned and occasionally got the impression that we were intruding on their home. Whilst some people would like the style I felt it was a little like a museum.
- Mary (9/5): I was travelling alone and felt very secure and comfortable in this hotel - An elegant and comfortable hotel in a very convenient location. Breakfast was very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Old-fashioned flush in the bathroom was not effective and water pressure in the shower was low.

- amanda (10/5): Great location and value for money - Very good location
- Annemarie (10/5): - Das Haus hat ein wunderbare Atmosphäre, die Lage ist traumhaft, das Personal liebenswürdig und hilfsbereit!!!
Absolut empfehlenswert!! Nichts

- Poliana (10/5): Me hospedaria de novo, com certeza. - Café da manha excelente, localização segura e de fácil acesso ao metro e ao ônibus. O terraço é uma gracinha, e a limpeza do quarto muito boa. O chuveiro era ótimo, a cama confortável, a toalha era boa, e as instalações também. A equipe simplesmente excepcional, todos muito educados e prestativos. Viajei sozinha e me senti segura tanto no hotel quanto na rua do hotel. E diferente de muita rua em Roma, a rua é asfaltada para quem vem do metro! O que ajuda a arrastar as malas. Da parada de ônibus tem um pedaço de paralelepípedo. As portas são bem pesadas e não consegui abrir com uma mão só. Não é culpa do hotel, mas acho bom deixar registrado para outros viajantes: se você tem dificuldade de carregar a mala, ou estar só com muita coisa, é melhor pedir um taxi para chegar na porta. A caminhada do metro é curta, mas cheia de turistas, você passa por toda a calçada do coliseu.
- Poliana (10/5): Ficarei outras vezes - Segunda vez que fiquei hospedada, se voltar a Roma vou considerar o hotel novamente. Ótima localização, ótimas instalações e a equipe é excepcional. Fazem mais do que o esperado para poder ajudar. O taxista que chamaram pra me levar para o aeroporto também, outro simpático e prestativo. Bom café da manhã. A porta é bem pesada, não consegui abrir com uma mão só
- Beate (9/5): Familiäre, angenehme Tage in ruhiger und doch zentraler Lage! - Liebevoll eingerichtetes Einzelzimmer mit einem kleinen Balkon, der über dem begrünten Innenhof liegt. Das Badezimmer ist klein und alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Geschlafen habe ich sehr gut - super Matratze, feine Bettwäsche, ruhig.
Die Lage des Hotels ist fußläufig zum Kolosseum und zur Untergrundbahn. Kleines, feines Frühstücksbuffet!
Sehr nette, freundliche und hilfsbereite MitarbeiterInnen machen den Aufenthalt zusätzlich sehr angenehm.
- Corinne (8/5): - L'emplacement à côté du Colisée, la chambre agréable et le personnel à l'accueil Le bruit le soir provenant du roof top situé dans un autre établissement en face de l'hôtel
- DIANE (10/5): Terrific - Great location. Excellent breakfast
- Elisabeth (3/5): Bei einem nächsten Rom Besuch würden wir ein anderes Hotel wählen. - Die zentrale aber doch ruhige Lage. Die Ausstattung kann als Antik, kitschig oder vom Speermüll angesehen werden. Die Zimmer haben unhygienische Teppiche. Gereinigt wurde nur oberflächlich, bei uns im Zimmer lag Kabelabfall die ganze Zeit am gleichen Ort, d.h es wurde nicht Staubgesaugt. Im Frühstücksraum gab es keine Tischsets, nur immer die gleichen Tischtücher. Es gibt nur 10er Tische. Das Frühstück ist alles andere als abwechslungsreich und ausgewogen, dass liegt vielleicht auch daran, dass 80% der Gäste Amerikaner oder Engländer sind. Wir haben einmal am ersten Tag dort zu abendgegessen, dass Essen war lecker und die Idee des Zusammensein an den 10er Tischen ist gut gemeint aber anstrengend mit der Kommunikation.
- Gudrun (9/5): -
- francisca (9/5): Endroit très agréable - Accueil, ameublement, ambiance, décoration, emplacement
- Miwa (8/5): - コロッセオから近いロケーションでバスなどでどこにでも行けますし、近くに飲食店やスーパーもあり便利でした。シングルルームでしたがお部屋は広く、使いやすかったです。水回りは狭めでしたが珍しく水圧が強かったので特に不便しませんでした。従業員の方もチェックアウト時の男性の対応には疑問を感じてしまいましたが、それ以外の方は皆さん感じがよい方でした。 部屋に入った時に独特の匂いが強く、だんだん慣れましたが初日はきつかったです。また値段の割にアメニティは超最低限で冷蔵庫やボックスティッシュもありませんでした。ローマで他のホテルにも泊まりましたが、同じ価格帯で設備はこれより充実してたので落差を感じてしまいました。清掃は毎日してくれましたが、タオル交換は浴室床においておくなど明らかに交換してほしい感じを出さないと交換してくれないようなので注意です。

- Karen (8/5): Great location and staff, Italian Gem! - Breakfast was very good! Liked room size and decor. Great location and bearbybrestaurant Shower head would not stay attached and pumps to shower gel and shampoo weren’t working. Would prefer an updated blowdryer. Terrace on 6th floor was dissapointing
- Graham (9/5): very good hotel in a good location - The hotel was walking distance from the railway station, large double room, good breakfast and also had a small balcony. The staff were very helpful. nothing.
- TalvikkiN (10/5): The best location ever - Great location.Nice and clean rooms
- Nancy (10/5): Nice stay - Location was great. Staff at the front desk and bar were terrific. The only complaint I have is although the room was cleaned nicely they didn’t replace what you used. The paper cups were never replaced. Towels were only sometimes replaced.
- PHILIPPE (9/5): -
- gms555 (8/5): Great value, location and staff. - My second visit to Rome and again the Lancelot did not disappoint. Great location, walking distance to the Colosseum, easy walk to metro and buses. Wonderful rooms, simple but spotlessly clean and all you need. Friendly staff, great breakfast. One suggestion, more single/twin tables required in breakfast room. Highly recommended. Grazie Mille!
- 667val_riaa (2/5): Terrible service - I had an extremely disappointing experience at this hotel during my stay in Rome. The behavior of the staff was unacceptable and far from what one would expect from a professional hospitality team.
We went to the breakfast area slightly before 7:00 a.m., and instead of being treated with courtesy or understanding, we were met with rudeness and an unwelcoming attitude. The staff made us feel as though we had done something wrong, rather than simply being early guests.
This lack of basic politeness and respect left a very negative impression. Hospitality should be about making guests feel comfortable, not judged or mistreated. Unfortunately, this was not the case here.
I am extremely disappointed with how we were treated and cannot recommend this hotel to others. The staff clearly needs proper training in customer service and professionalism.
This was, without a doubt, my worst experience in Rome.
- Daniel (10/5): - Superb location close to the Colosseum. Friendly staff. We dined in one evening, which turned out to be a lot of fun! Really clean spacious rooms and we were able to check in early when we arrived.
- Trail12115524964 (10/5): Must stay when in Rome - Love this hotel! Stayed here twice and highly recommend. Highlight of our trips to Rome. Michsride for transportation highly recommended!
- Nina (9/5): Toller Ausgangspunkt zur Erkundung von Rom - Wunderbare Lage in Nähe des Collosseums und dennoch ruhig. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt, der Kontakt war persönlich und sehr freundlich. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und die Zimmer ausreichend groß. Wir würden hier jederzeit wieder übernachten, wenn wir nach Rom kommen.
- Justin2 (10/5): As good as ever. - Returned to the Lancelot Hotel for a few days in Rome. As good as ever: welcoming, comfortable rooms, helpful, very clean and excellent service.
- Fejes (10/5): -
- Peter Loos . (9/5): Prima prijs kwaliteit verhouding. - Geweldige locatie, vlak bij het colosseum en leuke restaurantjes. Niets

- Jason Barrie (9/5): Service with a smile - The staff just went above and beyond to make our stay memorable - incredibly memorable people. Great location with so many dining options, as well, as being so close to colosseum. The beds were too hard - but that's just a personal thing.
- Mary (8/5): - Great location, close to colosseum. Heating was not strong enough for the big room.
- Fernández García (10/5): -
- Marcela (9/5): Excelente hotel cerca del Coliseo - El estilo elegante y cálido, parking muy cómodo (es necesario reservar) Muy buena ubicación. La cena con escasa reserva previa
- Margaret (5/5): Probably would not go again - Small , friendly staff . Close to colosseum, lots of restaurants near by Bathroom was small and needed upgrade.
- Yingqi (9/5): -
- Annie (8/5): - A lovely place with great location.
Nice breakfast. Room a bit small, no kettle.
- Michael (8/5): - Clean, nice rooms. Staff was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and getting us a taxi to airport. It might’ve been nice to have a heads up regarding a large party that was at the hotel. We had to leave and come back for breakfast later in the morning.
- zinomi (5/5): -
- Hilary (10/5): Paradise on Earth. If ever in Rome again this is where I’ll stay. - The location & staff. Nothing
- axel (8/5): Très beau séjour. - La gentillesse, le charme et l’emplacement. Le bruit le matin (7h du matin, visseuse, nettoyage etc …)
- Mariano (10/5): - La ubicación es inmejorable, a 3 cuadras del coliseo, muy lindo, limpio, personal amable. Nada, estuvo muy bien en todo
- 19sallyanneb (10/5): Charming and unique hotel in a super location - Just returned from a lovely few days at Hotel Lancelot. What a unique and wonderful spot, full of charm, friendly people (guests and staff alike) and a super location too. This was my second stay, having visited over 30 years ago. This time I was with my husband, a wheelchair user, and we found the room and the hotel itself worked very well. Faris and the entire team could not have been more kind and helpful, full of local knowledge, assisting with taxis, etc. We ate in one evening and enjoyed a super meal. Thank you to all the staff at Hotel Lancelot for making our trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary so special!
- Jet79772 (10/5): Fantastic place to stay - Such a great place to stay this is the second time we have stayed and the first with my family. The hotel is in a great position to get to the Colosseo and onto the Metro system for travelling further across Rome. The staff were really friendly and accommodating the breakfast was fantastic. The room was great and well apportioned and well looked after with plenty of space for a family of 4. We thought it was good value for money and will definitely be coming back.
- SONIA (10/5): -
- Rocha (8/5): - Le petit déjeuner n’avais pas des œufs brouillés
- Fabio (9/5): -
- Ghizlane (9/5): - Un petit havre de paix au calme, à 02 pas du Colisée. Le staff est avenant, aux petits soins. Et j'ai particulièrment apprécié le confort de la chambre simple, spaxieuse, lumineuse avec un lit assez large.
- Jürgen (9/5): -
- Inna Fin (10/5): Perfect vacation in perfect hotel - The most enjoyable staying, everything was absolutely perfect
- Elena (9/5): -
- Yeomanson (10/5): - Second visit. Excellent staff. Great location. Dinner was also great fun. Nothing
- Elena (10/5): All was perfect - The hotel is a true gem. The location: central but quiet. Beautiful hotel with so many touches that make it truly designer and elegant, but also comfortable and thought through for travelers. Staff is brilliant and kind, helping in any possible way. Breakfast is perfect. For the first time (with traveling a lot!) I was taking photos of the interior as there were so many beautiful elements and art pieces.
- Aleš (8/5): -
- Carolinne (10/5): - No hotel tudo é excelente. Quartos ótimos e’ Tudo!
- Jane (10/5): Two minutes walking from Colliseo - Location,location, location.
Breakfast. Stuff is very welcoming and helpful!
Lounge area with the balcony to the canal. The beds are a bit too hard for me.
In the bathroom there are no hooks to hang a towel.
- Nelba (10/5): - Great location, lovely staff and hotel property. The only negative was the small bathroom.
- Luigi (10/5): - Ottimo hotel vicino al Colosseo in una zona tranquilla. L' unica pecca il bagno che non aveva il bidet per il resto tutto ok. Lo consiglio La mancanza del bidet
- Ákos Zsolt (10/5): -
- gustavo (9/5): -
- sheilac651 (10/5): An excellent choice! - This was our second visit to the Hotel Lancelot. It is a lovely, well run, family owned and managed hotel near the Colosseum. The staff are, without exception, kind, helpful and friendly. Special thanks to Mark this year! Breakfasts too are excellent with a wide range of options. We have no hesitation in recommending the Hotel Lancelot and are already planning our return next year.
- Jitka (8/5): - Výborná lokalita. Snídaně dostačující. Ale filtrovaná káva v Itálii mě překvapila. Personál na požádání přinese kávu ze stroje, ale aktivně ji nenabízí.
- Lucy (9/5): - Posizione, gentilezza dello staff, pulizia Unica mancanza il bidet in bagno
- Katy (8/5): My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and we would definitely stay again and recommend other people to stay h - Loved the staff, so helpful and pleasant and happy to give recommendations and promptly helped when I got locked in the bathroom!
The breakfast was delicious and a lovely choice of foods. Our room had its towels changed everyday, the beds were made everyday, the beds were comfortable and the shower was great! The location was also perfect - not far from the colloseum at all but also a good base point to get to other areas and it had great restaurants only just round the corner. The only thing I can say I didn’t like was the sound at nighttime, there was a lot of noise outside which you could really hear (and I have bad hearing) and you can hear everything going on outside/next to your room like if the neighbours run the water or flush the toilet. But - that really would be the only downfall which could easily be resolved with ear buds!
- Seong (8/5): -
- Mariana (10/5): The best hotel in Rome. - Everything. They upgraded our room for you wedding anniversary. We loved.
The breakfast was so good.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming.
- Anne (10/5): Un hôtel calme et accueillant à deux pas du Colisée - La décoration de l'hôtel, faire avec beaucoup de goût et très accueillante : jolies associations de meubles, tapis et tissus colorés, avec de jolis bouquets comme dans un palace. L'accueil charmant du personnel. Le calme de l'environnement, associé à une situation géographie très centrale, dans un superbe quartier de Rome. rien
- Shaw huah (10/5): -
- Leisie93 (6/5): Great location, great value, policies that made me feel unwelcome - The location was fantastic. The price was a great value. And the hotel was definitely charming. But a lot of policies made me feel unwelcome. Maybe some of these polices have reasons behind them, but I wasn’t made aware of those reasons.
- There was a locked gate at the entrance. On my first day, after hauling my luggage from Termini station to here, I waited for 5 minutes, not understanding how the locked gate worked or how to get in or why I was seemingly being shut out. Eventually I figured out what button to press. But even after I figured out the locked gate, several days later, the electricity on the locked gate seemingly went out. I rang the bell 8 times. Then some students staying came and called their friend who was inside the hotel. He tried to let us out from the other side of the gate but couldn’t. Then he got the concierge who also couldn’t unlock the gate with the button on the inside. Finally, the manager came and unlocked it with keys. I think that was 5 people attempting: me, the student standing outside, the student standing inside, the concierge, and the manager.
- You have to leave the keys in the lobby before going out. Some people love this as a charming old hotel feature. I love charming physical keys in hotels, but Italy has a shortage of public restrooms and Rome’s public transit is bad. So after walking a lot and coming in needing to pee, the last thing I wanted was to have to wait to get my key to get into my room to pee. Maybe they’re afraid that guests will get keys stolen by pickpockets in Rome, but then wouldn’t that justify key cards?
- My room was freezing, so cold I couldn’t comfortably shower. I visited Rome in February. I told the concierge who immediately fixed it, but it was still very cold.
The hotel was still a perfect location and a fantastic value. The cleaning staff and laundry people did an amazing job, so thank you for that. ❤️
