Hotel Lancelot

Loved this place; I will stay here again in a heartbeat.
Being hosted, not just hospitality, is a dying form but it has its bastions here and there. The Hotel Lancelot is one of those places. I don’t think I’ve even been so well accommodated and truly hosted. The overall experience was comparable and as memorable as my stay at the Hyatt Regency in Hong Kong. Now this place is not the same luxury five star hotel as the Hyatt but everything about it’s charm and the people working there along with the reception from the hotel owners made it among some of my most memorable stays.
The owners made a point to routinely check in and talk to our group. They were friendly and often recommended great restaurants and places to stay. There was a genuine care from them and the rest of the staff whether or not we were having a good time. They kept the bar open late and the owners often had a drink with us – even treated us to several drinks. They came to nearly every one of our shows at the Teatro Brancaccio, a few blocks to the north, and on the final night they invited us to the rooftop for drinks. It felt more like staying with friends than it did staying in a hotel.
The rooms were comfortable and spacious. Very clean and had a charming décor. Many of them had balconies and I often took my breakfast up and ate overlooking towards to Colosseum. It’s located on a sleepy street but very easily accessible to everything. We did several walks out to the Colosseum, Forum, Trevi Fountain, and so forth.
I would also like to point out the photos are accurate and possibly don’t fully capture how comfortable this place is to stay.

We loved everything about this place. It’s a great location, near landmarks and transportation. It was our first time in Rome, and the staff could not have been more helpful in planning our itinerary and getting around the city. The room was nice and clean and ready early for us. We dined in the courtyard with other guests who were repeat customers and great company. If we ever go back, we would definitely stay here again.

Upon arriving, we were immediately treated like guests of honor by the concierge. He was so super friendly and helpful, and gave us lots of detailed information about the city. The staff in general really took care of us during our stay.
The room itself was not spectacular decoration and comfort-​wise, but the view was phenomenal! We could see the Colosseum while enjoying a beer outside among the flowers on our terrace.
The dinners are served family-​style, so you get to meet and chat with other guests. This was by far our favorite part of our stay. The food was great and the wine was also wonderful. Don’t hesitate to participate in one of these truly enjoyable meals!

I stayed here last night and it was the first time ever at this hotel in Rome. The location is great — literally down the street from the Colleseum and the nearby area is very pretty, couldn’t be happier.
Upon entering, the staff was super sweet and chatted with me about Florence, what to do in Rome and said that the dinner they offer there is eaten family style in order to get to know the other people, which I thought was a really unique touch. I felt like they really cared about me having a nice stay.
For the price (115 for one person) it was a great deal, especially for Rome. My room was very pretty and cozy and on my floor (6^th) there was a stunning terrace that overlooks Rome. NIce!
Breakfast was good, it was pretty abundant for Italy and I liked the coffee they use. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a three star that could be a four star (stars don’t really MEAN anything in Italy). Its very convienent location-​wise and the dinner menu looked pretty good even if I didn’t get to try it.

We stayed here for our stay in Rome and I was smitten with the balcony. The hotel is a couple of blocks from the Colosseum.
The room was clean, air conditioning was sufficient (we were there in the hot summer days of August), and the staff was very friendly.
