My husband and I and 4 boys just got back from 7 cities in Europe. By far the Hotel Lancelot was the best hotel we stayed in. We wish we had stayed longer. The room on the top floor (#60, the older kids were in room #24) was beautiful, roomy, clean and had a glorious garden terrace view of the city. The front desk recommended a local resturant Luzzi around the corner and it was lively, fun and had great food. I would highly recommend it! - The Cleverly's, Scottsdale, Arizona

We called ahead to ask if we could drop off our bags before check in. The front desk offered that we could check in early. This much appreciated favor and allowed us the opportunity to get refreshed after an overnight train ride.
...
Two minute walk to the Colleseum, but absolutely in a safe, and very quiet, neighborhood.
The dining room offered a very nice breakfast and excellent dinners. Best dinner we had in Rome. Excellent value and well prepared.
...
I think the hotel should provide more details on the evening meal they provide. I didn't know that it was available until I checked in.
...
Very nice owner. Excellent facilities. Probably won't go to Rome again, but if I do I will certainly stay at the Hotel Lancelot in order to make the trip enjoyable.

You seem to have put all of the features onthe web site but it is difficult for you to really express how welcoming the staff were and the homely atmosphere particularly when dining at the large tables with other guests.

Itwas very prompt, efficient and informative

The hotel was recommended to us by a family member and we have also recommended it to others.

This was the perfect hotel for my stay. They
were so welcoming and helpful. At the last
minute, I asked for them to arrange an
airport pickup, and they did it to
perfection.
...
I could buy bus tickets there,
which was very helpful. One night I ate out,
and they reimbursed me for the meal. I did
not even have to request it, but they did
it. I will definitely return!
...
Stay was value for money. Only small
discussion was that I had requested the
night before to organize a taxi to Termini
to catch the airport train, because it was
very early.I was told it could be done just
before. As it turned out, I almost didn't
make that designated train, and if I hadn't,
I would have most likely missed my flight,
as the aiport was very busy.
...
The location was terrific, and that was not
too obvious on the site. It was close to the
Colosseum, which meant easy access to
buslines, etc (one goes right to the
Vatican), yet it was in a wonderful, quiet
neighborhood. It was a great experience.
Also, the round tables were the reason I
went here, as I was traveling alone. That
was very special.
...
Terrific location, wonderful staff, great
experience on meeting other travelers. Rooms
were correct. It made traveling in Rome solo
really easy and fun.It was comforting coming
'home' at night. The sitting rooms were
actually the first 'public areas' in a hotel
that actually invited you to sit there.

There are two types of balcony's at the hotel. A photo of them from the various rooms would help the guest make a decision as to which one might be better to their liking. Ours was on the top floor and great. There are smaller ones from lower rooms that would be just as nice and maybe 10 euro's or so less expensive. An option to help the guest make a decision.
...
Great location. Great neighborhood to be in.
Small shops, Cafes, Wine Bars, nice local people and away from tourist buses and crowds.

The door in our room was not very soundproof and as a result all the noise in the hallway travelled directly into our room, it felt like the people outside were in our room!!! This is the only negative comment on our stay.

Very helpful. As we arrived early in the morning, Lancelot staff offered us breakfast and coffee until our room was ready.
Ensured our room was ready by 10.00a.m. rather than the stated afternoon check-in. The staff went out of their way to make us welcome.
...
It was a pleasure to stay at the Lancelot. Staff were always extremely helpful.
Only suggestion is that rooms should contain a refrigerator.
...
Very smooth and easy - no surprises.

Please not that the rooms do not contain a refrigerator.

A tranquil oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of Rome. Friendly, helpful and effiecent staff where nothing is a problem. I would recommend this Hotel to anyone contemplating a stay in Rome.

We had only two disappointments. The breakfast could have been a little better. Hot food. e.g. toast, scrambled egg, would have been welcome.
Also the bathroom was very small but it was adequate for a short stay.

The only thing that could have made it better was if we had asked the hotel to arrange airport transportation for our arrival. The hotel arranged the departure and it was very convenient and the price was reasonable.
...
The Internet access was nice and speedy. Consider making it free. The rooms were a bit noisy. We could hear alot of hallway traffic and one night we could hear the television from the next room.
...
We had a little confusion with the check out, but it did not diminish our experience at The Hotel Lancelot. The reception staff had booked a tour to Florence for us, however the cost appeared on both room charges. The Landry cost (Room 226?) was also on the Williams bill (Room 224).
...
I don't remember seeing the terraced rooms on the Web site. They may be there, but I don't remember seeing them. The cafe lattes from the bar were execptional. While we didn't dine at the hotel, the aroma was quite nice. Also, the security of the gated entry provided a level of comfort (especially when traveling with minors).
...
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The neighborhood was quiet and convenient ... while the location was not in the central touristy location, it was easy to find and easy to walk or metro to other areas. The Coliseum provided a great landmark reference, and once you found the hotel, there's no chance you could get lost. The area restraunts and cafes were a great.

We were so extraoridnarily pleased with our
experience - everything from the courtesy of
the hotel operators (who booked dinner and
borghese palace reservations for us without
prompting!), to the beautiful rooms with
balconies overlooking capo d'africa, to the
delicious breakfast - that we recommended
the hotel to our honeymooning friends, who
were previously booked at another hotel.
Without fail, everytime we return to rome,
we will stay at the hotel lancelot.
Exceptional!

We arrived by taxi late in the evening. The transfer was arranged by the hotel. The driver picked us up at the airport. Taxi price was a fair price.
...
under 6 i i wrote 'mostly', however the staff was very polite except perhaps the person serving breakfast. They were not very motivated but no unpolite.
remark 8 - the bathroom was very small but as everything else was very good this was ok
...
I dont have time to look again into the webside, but the breakfast was a bit less than expected. I did not expected so much (because of Italy and 3 stars), however a bit more (it was not more than 'italian breakfast' plus some extras) It was not possible to order something more against payment.
...
It is a absolutely cosy place which I liked very much. Nearby Colloseum but mostly quiet compared with other places and in a area where a lot of italiens living. You'll find some typical trattorias arround where you can eat excellent and cheap. It is absolutely worse paying a bit more for the terrace rooms !

I was amazed at the value for money the hotel represented. I researched my visit at great length before I went and none of the other hotels offered anywhere near the quality of service and facilities at the Lancelot for the money. The location was perfect too. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to other visitors to Rome.
...
A wonderful quiet location close to the major attractions of Rome with marvellous views of the Colosseum from the roof terrace. Friendly and helpful staff. Efficient service. Outstanding value for money. The furnishings and facilities were closer to a 4* than a 3* hotel. Superb food and varied menu. The round tables in the restaurant provide great opportunity for good conversation with other guests. This certainly enhanced my stay and helped relieve the stress of a very demanding course I was following.

It is a pleasant hotel, very convenient to most of the places one would wish to visit in Rome. The rooms were very comfortable and in particular the balcony was a lovely facility particularly in summer. The choice of food at breakfact was very good - something for everyone.

The hotel shuttle from the airport, 15 Euro per person, took us directly to the hotel door. Since we arrived at mid-morning, just as breakfast was being cleared, the desk clerk invited us into the dining room for a roll and a capuchino. Very thoughtful after a long trip.
...
The Lancelot is a hidden jewel on a quiet residential street, but only a few blocks from the Colosseum and several ancient basilica churches. (A short walk will bring you before the Moses by Michaelangelo.) It is surrounded by local bars and Trattoria. A wonderful refuge after a long day of sightseeing.
...
The hotel arranged a very early cab to take us to the airport. It arrived exactly on time.
...
It is family run, with several generations living in the hotel. It has more the atmosphere of a stay in a private home than a hotel. The Kahn family take great pride in the way they care for their guests. Directions are clear and helpful.

It was a pleasure to arrive here after our trip. The only thing that was not as expected was that we had no crib in our room for our child, but they put it in there right away. I had requested two rooms close together, and they were almost next to each other. The receptionist (who was the owner's daughter) was both pleasant and helpful, giving me information about the neighborhood and telling me the best place to get a train ticket for Florence.
...
The rooms here are lovely and a good bargain for Rome. The Colliseum and Forum are right up the street and we found it easy to walk to other sights like the Trevi Fountain as well. In addition, we found it very easy to take the bus to the Vatican and the tram to Trastavere, and they sell tickets at the reception desk.
The hotel is beautitfully decorated, immaculate, and quiet. We had nice rooms, the common areas are pleasant, and there is a nice bar and a lovely outdoor garden. Breakfast is large and delicious. Dinner (we paid to eat here one night) was also very good. There are also some good places to eat in the neighborhood and the staff was helpful with recommendations.
...
Check out was fine.
...
This is an extremely family friendly hotel. We stayed here with an 18 month old child and were never made to feel anything but welcome. All of the staff made him and us feel right at home.
The quality of the breakfast is the best I have ever seen in a European hotel, and it was varied from day to day.
...
One of the nicer hotels I have ever stayed in and the place I would always stay in Rome.

After dealing with a terrible cab ride in from the airport (driver doubled fare and there was a heated argument about this) the staff at the front desk were very understanding and apologetic for something they had no control over. They 'soothed' the tired and 'frazzled' nerves!
...
All staff were very friendly and helpful. More than willing to telephone for any bookings, reservations etc.
Our room overlooked the street and was a very lovely room but the noise of the traffic (even during the night) disturbed us. We were fortunate to be able to close the window and put on the air conditioning but it would have been nice to leave the window open. Rooms in back had no street noise but there was noise from courtyard (from private houses). Our friends stayed in one of the courtyard rooms...that is how I know this.
...
Fast and efficient. No surprises on the bill.
...
Location of hotel was ideal for persons visiting Rome for the first time. We found this exceptionally helpful as it was just minutes away from many of the historical sites (also for places to eat)

Located on a nice side street; very clean and personnel were very helpful. Very close to historical attractions (walking distance) which is very important in Rome).

The airoplane was earlier than expected therefore we had to wait on the transportation to the hotel. The minibus did arrive but i felt it could have been a little earlier as we were first off the plane but last to be picked up.The initial impression of the hotel was not as good as the photograph the entrance being at an angle to the road. This impression was soon dissipated by this charming Italian hotel which was a refreshing change from the corporate images we have been more used to.
...
See comments above.
The photographs given on the website did not, I feel, truly reflect the bedrooms, although again I must say that it was a charming hotel.
...
I think the strength of the Hotel was the ecclectic collection of ornaments, furnishings etc.that made up the interior decoration of the property. It gave it an individual character which is missing in many establishments. The other main feature is the property's location.It was central but unlike some other hotels had the added luxury of a quiet backstreet.
...
Easy to locate due to the airport pick-up.
Excellent location.
Hotel has charm and character that made the trip to Rome more memorable.
Good value for money.
