I found this gem of a hotel using the airmiles.co.uk website and also checked the reviews here on Tripadvisor for a trip to Rome with my wife. This joint is excellent value ......right in the middle of the historical centre......it is literally 2 minutes walk to the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. Everything is more or less walkable easily ..............from here we went to the Vatican and also the colleseum on foot. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and our room (room 4) was fab. Not the biggest room I have ever stayed in but it had a huge king size bed, an LCD TV with free Sky TV, lovely soft towels, slippers, air con and a well stocked mini bar. The mini bar is worth mentioning because the items were all very cheap, as if you were buying them in a supermarket. I recommned staying here for a great room in a fab location at extremely cheap prices (for Rome). The breakfast was also interesting, you get a voucher for a delicious croissant or sandwich and coffee or fruit juice at a cafe just round the corner, very nice also.

My wife, our 18 month old boy and I, stayed at this hotel in the first week of May and had a great experience. We had a great experience. The staff was very helpful and courteous. They want out of the way to get things for us that we needed for the baby. Room was clean.
It is a great location. We will definitely stay here again and will recommend to anyone who is visiting Rome. Only limitation is that it is on the 3rd floor and there are no elevators. Assuming that you are packed light this should not be a big problem.

For us it was a great experience.

After my first trip to Rome in 2003 I quickly learned that the most important detail in booking a hotel in Rome is to be far from the Termini Train Station. There are number of areas to choose from but being close to the Piazza Navona is especially nice when you have a short visit in Rome. My fiancee and family stayed here for only one night in October in an effort to squeeze in some time in my favorite European city on our way up north to Siena.

The staff was very friendly and allowed space to store our bags during the day. They had wonderful restaurant recommendations and were happy to call cabs for us. The bathrooms were phenomenal which is important after flying all night and arriving in warm weather.

The rooms were clean and quiet and they came with vouchers for a complimentary local Italian breakfast of croissants and espresso - the breakfast of champions for weary travelers!

Considering its prime location near the Piazza Navona and all the little "extras" (slippers, hard candy and breakfast), we wished we could have stayed longer.

The only complaint was having to walk our suitcases up a few flights of stairs however it was well worth it to be safe and comfortable.

Just spent four nights at this incredibly convenient specialty lodging. It's so close to everything, and is clean and safe.

I was able to catch the No. 40 bus from Termini on arrival from Firenze. The locals were happy to help when I asked where Piazza Navona was (it's the nearest landmark to Locanda Senatorum). Via dei Sediari is a short walk from Corso Vittorio Emanuele if you get off at the fourth stop after leaving Termini.

I was travelling solo in Rome, and could walk everywhere I wanted from Via dei Sediari. About 3 mins to Pantheon, 15-20 mins to Colosseo (if you don't stop to shop or look at massive monuments), and about 20 mins to Vatican City.

The room was kept spotless and was well presented. The staff Renata and Ravi were always helpful and courteous. I was fortunate to meet the owners Anita and Massimo as well. They made me feel very welcome.

Although the location is fabulous, be aware that there is no elevator, and about 48 stairs to the LS level. This is not a problem after getting the bags upstairs the first time, and if you like your legs to get exercised. When in Rome, do what the (ancient) Romans do...?

If you have mobility problems, then this would not suit you. Many of these really old buildings can't accommodate elevators.

The no-extra-charge wireless internet is great. They also have SKY if you're into that sort of thing, for a small charge. I was impressed by the little touches - a chocolate on the pillow, and a cocktail glass containing more for future 'comfort'. Comfy bed, great shower and bathroom. View was pokey, but no worse than many views in densely built up places like NYC.

Great coffee shops around the corner. Wonderful stay. Would stay here again.

Stayed here for four nights (or three nights with one in the Navona Hotel, one floor below when the room in the LS was not available for the first night, the only glitch in the holiday) at this hotel and found it lived up to the publicity. The room was spacious and comfortable, bathroom pleasant and toiletries abundant. We never had to buy any sweets as they were copiously provided. Although we didn't need it there was a complimentary umbrella available.
The minibar was very reasonable with a third of a bottle of wine for 1.5 Euros.
Reception was charming and helpful.
Lots of restaurants close at hand although we went to Alla Rampa next to the Spanish Steps on two nights Antipasti out of this world and superb waiters.
Trastavere and the Jewish Ghetto worth a visit for peace and quiet in bustling Rome.
Our second time in Rome and just as good as the first time. Thanks Locanda Senatorum for a great stay.
