I am sorry that it has taken me so long to write a review. Time has gone by so quickly.
I first want to say that the location is wonderful and so close to everything. Stepping into the small courtyard was like going back in time. I was a solo traveler and encountered no problems. I walked everywhere (day/evening) including the Vatican (3 times). Its an easy walk to the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and the Colisseum.
Renata and Ravi were just great and very helpful.
I had the single room located to the side of the front desk and experienced not a single problem and it was just the right size for one person. It was very clean and modern.
When I return to Rome I will definitely stay there again.
The only thing is try not to take too many bags (unless you have somebody to carry them). You have to go up three flights of stairs.
If I can be of any help pls just let me know.

Booked this place because of the reviews here so I thought I had better add my own to help out others. First and foremost is the location. There cannot be a better in all of Rome. Most major sights are within easy walking distance (and what a city to walk around in!!!) and in the case of the Pantheon and P. Navona they are closer than that!!! Obviously it is not a luxury hotel and has little in the way of guest ameneties but the front desk are very helpful and anything you might need is readily available closeby. Be aware that there are several flights of stairs to negotiate if that might be a problem for you.The room was as big as you get in Rome (not huge) but it was spotless (well cleaned daily) and had all we required in the way of toiletries, telly, minibar etc.
As for Rome, it was fantastic - much more than we expected. Nobody ripped us off or robbed us, the taxis were great (the drivers mad as monkeys), the food was brilliant, the best coffee shop in the whole world is round the corner from the hotel, the clothes and shoes were good to look at but as I had not won the lottery for while looking was all I did. I would advise reading up either on the net or books on what places to avoid and how to make sure you get the right taxis and such like and thus make sure your stay was as pleasant as ours.
I will definately return to Rome and the only place I will be staying is the Locanda Senatorum.

We recently returned from being in Rome late September/early October. Our arrival at this hotel was a huge disappointment and the greeting was downright rude. After a long trip, the last thing we needed was to have to carry our luggage up four flights of stairs - there is NO LIFT! Not only that, but two hotel staff were there when I went up the 4 flights to ask about a lift and neither of them offered to help with our luggage. I would never stay there again. But great location near the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. The room was adequate and the typical small size. Important point - we stayed at a much nicer, friendlier, more spacious, and less expensive hotel in Rome later in our trip that far surpassed this one hands down!

My Husband and I just returned from our first trip to Italy. We did some research and chose all of our hotels based on trip advisor reviews/location/pricepoint. The Locunda Senatorum was one of the better hotels we stayed in on our trip to Italy. We were there Sept 23-26 and Oct 6-7. 2007

The pros:

-unbeatable location. You step out the door and walk a block and you are at the Piazza Navona. Another block and you are at the pantheon. We walked to the Vatican, the colloseum.. everywhere!!!

-the hotel provided little touches that made our stay better. A pair of slippers, shampoos.. etc. After walking all day these little things came in handy.

-In comparison to other hotels we stayed in, the rooms were BIG!

-staff were very nice. We ordered a taxi through the hotel to pick us up from the airport and he ripped us off. Charged us 10 more euro than he should have. We complained and our return taxi fare was reduced. We would HIGHLY recommend arranging a taxi to/fro the airport. It isn't that close to the hotel and is a good investment to ensure you start and end your trip well.

CONS:

-NO STAIRS, the hotel is located on the 3rd floor. On a daily basis no problem but lugging your bags up and down took a toll on my husband.

-Overall fairly quiet, but our last night we didn't sleep at all because who ever lived the floor above us was up all night moving stuff around. For 150-200 euro, depending where you book, you should be able to sleep.

We'd go back again but wouldn't recommend it to those that can't do lots of stairs or lift things up stairs.

Ciao and happy travelling
