This review is posted very late, but it is still accurate!

I booked the Lancelot for my honeymoon last May and we had a fantastic time here. They arranged to have a car sent to pick up my wife and I from the airport and had a bottle of sparkling wine waiting for us in the room.

The staff is highly professional and courteous. They helped us many times with restaurants, sites, getting around etc...

The morning breakfast is fantastic, and the bar offers a nice place to relax with a drink after the sights of Rome.

The rooms are very spacious, larger than what I expected. The bathroom is very nice, the bed comfortable and we even had a nice little terrace overlooking the street.

The stay was extremely pleasant and I will not bother looking for another hotel the next time I go to Rome.

Have stayed at Hotel Lancelot twice. Once in 2005 with two kids, and once just us two adults week before Easter 2009.
Location to die for. Not only can you see the Coloseum, buses everywhere are 100 yards away yet the street itself is very quiet.
Great info in response to any questions at the desk. Maybe too many of us British and Americans to feel like Italy but benefit is you get advice in perfect English.
Restaurant recommendation from the desk of Ditirambo in the city centre was also perfect.
Highly recommended.

Wow. Not the most eloquent choice of words, I suppose, but this hotel was exactly what we wanted. Great food, beautiful room, excellent staff, great location, beautiful view from the upper floors. We stayed 10 days, starting with a fairly large group of seminary students and then a few days more with a small group of friends. The Lancelot felt like home. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and well-appointed. The room was oh-so-clean when we returned each day. The food is great. We actually looked forward to eating each night in the hotel. Half-board is well worth the cost. Wireless Internet worked well in the room. Nice sitting rooms, coffee bar, intimate environment. Classy and classic. Within easy walking distance of the coliseum. Great neighborhood with restaurants and gelato bars, grocery stores, etc. A bit of a hike to the closest metro station (Colosseo or Manzoni), but the bus stop is just at the base of the hill. Have stayed twice and look forward to staying again.

This is my 4th visit to Rome in 7 years. Although I am sure there are other wonderful, small hotels in Rome, I always stay at the Hotel Lancelot.

We stayed 4 nights end of Feb 2009. Hotel is 7 minute walk from Colosseo metro stop & easy to locate as it is not on one of the twisty roads. We had a Triple room for 3 adults 180 euro. Not luxury, but nice & clean. 3 comfortable single beds in a generous sized room. Good, cold breakfast included. Love the neighborhood. Lots of tiny restaurants down the block for dinner.

Great staff. Plus the 2 euro cappuccino they serve in the tiny bar is the best we had in Italy.

Highly recommend
