We reserved a taxi to go to the hotel, and the taxidriver was really kind and showed us some beautiful parts of the city! The best start of are perfect weekend in the City!
...
Last year I already went to this hotel, so I know how it was, and I think it is even more beautiful than on the website. The staff is always so kind, a pleasure to go to this B&B !
...
The price was like we agreed, I think it is a good price for the stay, only the breakfast could be a little bit more. But, I would go back to this hotel the next time I will go to Roma. So, I hope the price is going to stay the same, because I think it is a good price for the room.
...
Perfect location to visitate the city, if you want to get connected with the Roman people, because the staff is friendly. You are not a number, but persons !!! Very important for me. A place to go back to!

We had a great time in Rome and the accommodation was brilliant.

We thought Il Covo was perfect, great location, lovely rooms. We were very comfortable and would definitely recommend to a friend.
Thank you.

Very friendly and helpful staff but also non-intrusive.
They offered to keep our baggage free of charge until the evening on the day of our departure and also arranged a taxi to the airport at a special reduced rate.
...
I would highly recommend this establishment to a friend- a quiet clean comfortable charming B&B with lovely breakfasts, daily impeccable upkeep of room,friendly staff and in a fantastic central location-walking distance of everywhere!!

Transferred by El Covo to alternative accommodation nearby for first night. This was adequate but with much less character than El Covo which we enjoyed for the remaining nights. Staff were very helpful.
...
Nothing to add
...
Simple but characterful. Very well situated - great to see the Colesseum at the end of the street! Would certainly go back to same place again!

They were very nice and helpful, and got us a room as soon as they could.

One thing that is not stated is that they now have satellite tv.

The B&B was in a very good location to be able to walk to place. The rooms were nicely decorated, and the staff was always very friendly.

Very polite receptionist on our arrival, providing all the info for our stay, in a 10 minute talk... recommendations... how to get around in public transport to/from B&B... just the kind o info you need to start visting right away.
...
We stayed at Marco room, which maybe was the less quality room, but still correct.
Breakfast lacks some quality, specially that juice.
...
Very well placed... take the 117 funny electrical minibus right in to the heart of Rome, or a pleasant walk to Fontana di Trevi in 10 minutes...
Colosseum is at the end of a paralel street, at viewsight as on pictures.
Very calm neighbourhood, not the center (but close) and not termini station area (which is quite further away from the main area)... Nice and recommendable.

On my voucher it stated a 'Quadruple Room Standard, Double Bed + 2 Single Beds'. we were given a quadruple room with a double bed and a double sofa type bed, however, it was quite comfortable and perfectly adequate for our stay. It just meant that I shared one double bed with my son and my wife shared the other with our daughter.
...
The owner was more than helpful and spoke excellent English. We had a wonderful time in Rome and would certainly recommend Il Covo to future visitors.
...
Basic accommodation but clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful in both Il Covo and the cafe where we had our breakfast.

The overall conclusion was very positive, with one exception. We did not always have much privacy because our room was next to a place where someone was doing the 'laundary' (ironing & washing machine) & window was opened whenever we returned from town. Breakfast in 'Bodega' was nice, but simple (only one croissant with juice & cup of coffee), although we don't want to complain about it.
...
I suggest that you mention about breakfast - nice environment, but simple
...
Good price/quality & I would recommend it to others, since it was clean.

We were welcomed by a very huge dog, so at the beginning I donīt wanted to entry.
This was the first impresion, but then we had a very pleasant stay and did not see that dog anymore :-)
...
Very good, it was no problem to leave the luggage in the restaurant!
...
It should be mentioned that the rooms are not directly in the mentioned place, but near.

Francesco, the hotel manager, took care of us right away, and allowed an early check in, which was very helpful to us.
...
The property was nice but the room was not nearly as nice as the ones shown on the website. Also, we had no refrigerator.
...
Again, Francesco accomodated our very early check-out needs and assisted in reconfirming our transporation arrangements.
...
Great location, good choice if you want something safe, economical and no frills.

The receptionist was very helpful for giving advice on things we want to visit.
...
For the price, we think that the accomodation should work properly: some lights did not work in the room, warm water on the lavabo was very difficult to obtain.
The quality of the breakfast was rather poor: for the price we expected a buffet or at least more choices.
...
The location of the hotel is perfect : from that point we can visit many things at foot.

Problems with taxi from airport ...in practice it wasn't there, it had gone to the wrong airport. I met the particular driver at the end of the time in Rome (actaully he drove me back to the airport .. the correct one this time) , he was very apologetic and as I speak a fair amount of Italian it was not a great problem in the end.
...
I already knew of the restaurant having eaten there several times in the past. Room was large as was the bathroom and equiped as stated. Indeed much larger than many hotel rooms at several times the price. 'Quiet' is a relative term at any time in Italy, Overnight, no problem with noise for sleeping even with window open. However, morning traffic and the emptying of bins would even penetrate a sound proofed 'sound room'! Certainly quiet enough for me.
...
The restaurant side of the business provides excellent quality which is what has drawn me back to the property over the last year or so on other visits to Roma
Other bars, piazzas and restaurant locally are not overflowing with tourists, plenty of 'locals' which is not what you find in other parts of Roma which for me makes the whole visit more interesting.
...
Good rooms and food for a reasonable price in an interesting area of Roma especially if you want to avoid hoards of tourists, yet with all the standard tourist sites not far away.

My flight from Bristol was cancelled, but we managed to catch another flight 5 hours later from Gatwick airport. We were unable to notify Il Covo of our late arrival, but they were still there to welcome us when we arrived. They also have a sign on the door saying where they can be contacted (500m down the road) if nobody is at reception.
...
The property was centrally located, very clean, and was exactly what we were looking for. It was also so convenient to pop 500m down the road for breakfast. We were delighted with the property. The air conditioning was just perfect to get a good night's sleep, particularly with night temperatures of +22 degrees.
...
Although we had to depart our room some 6 hours before departing Rome, our baggage was well looked after and the owner obtained the services of a most delightfull taxi driver who took us to the airport .... complete with a guided tour of the less well known parts of Rome (he first checked that we had plenty of time for our flight).
...
A very honest description.
...
A perfectly situated hotel to see the sights of Rome ... my first visit to the city but certainly not the last (it was fantastic).

value for money - clean, well presented and friendly. Due to the seperate entrance i felt like i lived there especially as it is set in a old cobbled side street!

Il Covo arranged for us to be met at the airport. We were too early for our room but able to leave our case.
...
We were in Rome for a long week-end. Il Covo is a few minutes walk from the Colosseum, so ideal. Typical Italian accommodation in an apartment building. Air conditioning, clean,comfortable and ideal for our short holiday. Breakfast was at Il Covo a short walk away and you could eat other meals there with a 10% discount if you wished. The manager was excellent with his knowledge of things to see and do, transport etc. We would certainly stay there again.
...
Il Covo arranged for a taxi for our departure to the airport. The taxi driver was like taking another tour, he gave a running commentary all the way - excellent!
...
Good value, excellent location for main attractions. The manager spends time telling you local sites not to miss on short holidays and other areas to visit.
...
You must visit Rome and Il Covo is in a good location. If you want a typical Italian place to 'rest your head' rather than a 'clinical' modern hotel - Il Covo is the place. Air conditioning, ensuite, clean and comfortable. Continental breakfast which is more than adequate, no waiting for tables. They speak English (and other languages). They organise pick up and drop off at airport. You may stay in accommodation that is a short distance from Il Covo, which we did, and this was excellent.

WE were really pleased about the facilities, the only details is that warm water is supplied by an electrical thermotank which is very small, so it not possible (or difficult at least) for 2 people to have a shower one after the other. It would be advisable that the staff makes this clear when checking in.
The room was very neatly cleaned every day, and staff were always helpful. Really good choice to stay in the centre of Rome with a reasonable price !
...
-Very convenient for all main touristic sites...within walking distance !
-no elevator
-small electrical thermotank that supplies the hot water
-many restaurants in the neighbourhood
-huge wardrobe !
-they provided a 'culla' for the baby at no extra price
...
-absolutely worth trying (we are coming back when we go back to Rome, that is a fact !)
