We stayed at Hotel Lancelot for 5 nights for a combo of business and leisure. Having never traveled to Europe before I had no idea what to expect of the rooms other than reading in many guidebooks that European hotel rooms are very small with tiny beds. We were pleasantly surprised with a good sized room, queen bed, and a private bath. The only complaint about the rooms, was the shower did not drain well and we would have to turn the water off during the shower so that it would not spill onto the floor. We did not take up the issue with the staff as we liked our quiet room location. The complimentary breakfast was convenient. There were many restaurants in the few blocks surrounding the hotel and it is convenient to the Coloseum metro stop. One of the staff members (I think he actually was the cook) highlighted a walking tour for us one day that was AWESOME. After we walked that tour, we really felt like we had been to Rome! The hotel was by far our favorite part of our Italy trip...the lobby is nice to sit and have a bottle of wine at night after walking 10 miles a day!

My 3 friends and I stayed at the Lancelot April 19-21, traveled elsewhere in Italy, and returned for 2 nights at the end of our trip. We stayed in a quad which was set up with a double bed, a single, and a roll away. The room was large enough for the 4 of us. The staff was always kind and helpful and we enjoyed the daily breakfast buffet. There were a few common rooms to use as well as two outside terraces, which we did not take advantage of. If the weather had been a bit warmer, it would have been delightful to end the day with a glass of wine in either of these spots. The hotel is close to the Colosseum and to a metro stop. There are a number of restaurants close by. Each night the hotel offers a fixed price dinner for an additional cost. We took advantage of this on our last night and had an enjoyable evening dining with some of the other hotel guests. All in all, I would recommend the hotel for its exemplary service, cleanliness, and location and would stay there again on a return trip to Rome.

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.
