Great location for visiting Rome and walking to many of the sites! Look forward to coming back.
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and courteous. The location was incredible! Only 3 blocks from the Colosseum but very little traffic on the street. Easy walking to center of Rome or Colosseum Metro stop and sooo many nearby cafes and restaurants.

Cons:

The bathroom was on the small side but clean and updated. Part of the charm of an older building!

Excelente hotel, recomendo muito!
Pros:

Este hotel foi uma agradável surpresa na nossa viagem. Um hotel bem decorado, com certo refinamento nas áreas comuns, com móveis antigos de qualidade. Funcionários atenciosos. Com um ótimo café da manhã, mas tem somente 8 mesas de 6 lugares, então é comum dividir a mesa com outros hóspedes, o que não foi nenhum problema. A localização é bem segura, numa das ruazinhas perto do Coliseu. Reserve com bastante antecedência, pois é muito concorrido, um hotel com possibilidade de cancelamento e sem pre-pagamento, com bom preço, considerando os valores exorbitantes de Roma. Excelente!!

Cons:

Poderia ter um frigobar no quarto, mas sei que não é algo muito comum na Europa. Sem problemas.

Pros:

Albergo in una via tranquilla e silenziosa, anche se molto vicino al Colosseo, a cinque minuti a piedi dalla metro. Personale sempre gentile, camera ampia, pulita e accogliente. Colazione varia e ben fornita. In camera non c’è il mini bar, ma il bar al pian terreno è sempre attivo e l’ho utilizzato.

Cons:

Forse unico neo il bagno un po’ piccolino.

Family run near the Colosseum
Pros:

This is a pleasant family-run hotel a few blocks from the Colosseum. The room was comfortable (small by US standards); the bathroom was tiny but functional. There is a communal dinner available that is enjoyable. A gentleman sat next to me who turned out to be the chef and the owner -- something he admitted after questioning. What fun! Don't miss the patio on the top floor with its view of the Colosseum and city.

Home away from home
Pros:

This was our third stay at this wonderful hotel, and hopefully not the last. This charming, family-run hotel, is vey well-situated, near the Colosseum, but in a quiet neighbourhood. Our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfasts were abundant and delicious, served in a large room decorated with antique furniture. There is a terrace on the top floor where one can admire beautiful views of the city. There is also a very nice bar that we enjoyed before going out for dinner to great restaurants suggested by the reception. Above all, the service is outstanding. When in Rome, we encountered some problems unrelated to the hotel. The staff was so kind and helpful. There is definitely a "home away from home" feeling about this hotel. We strongly recommend this marvelous place.

Hotel Lancelot- A MUST when in Rome!
Pros:

We love the amazing location near the Colosseum is hard to beat! But, the staff, Francesca, Chiara, Lubna and Mark, plus the breakfast staff, and bar tenders are all absolutely first rate! They are knowledgeable, they share recommendations, directions, suggestions for whatever you are interested in. They will also arrange transport to and from the cruise terminal and/or airport. 5 star service is what you will receive!
The rooms are lovely and appointed with beautiful furnishings. The common spaces are lovely as well, beautiful furniture, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

We didn't want to leave Rome and the Lancelot is the place we will seek for our next Roman holiday!

Cons:

Offering scrambled eggs for breakfast would be nice.

Charming and Friendly
Pros:

There are so many wonderful things to say about Hotel Lancelot and their staff. We had very pleasant stay in this charming hotel. The location is terrific with just blocks away from the Colosseum. The hotel itself has many attractive features with a lovely lobby, fresh flowers, and delicious breakfast. Care is taken with the small details.
The staff was very helpful and professional. I would definitely stay at this hotel again with a return visit to Rome.High end without being pretentious.
