Travellers Reviews
Submitted by Neil Clutton, Powys, SY15 6BB, United Kingdom
We arrived earlier than the check in time but the staff ensured that our room was ready straight away which we were very grateful for. ... The standard of accomodation could not be bettered. We have stayed in much lessor quality 4 star hotels. ... Clean, friendly, welcoming, fantastic location, felt completely safe at all times and great value for money compared to hotels in this location. Some road noise but its a city so it was expected but nothing significant and I live in the countryside. For those who want to enjoy the major part of Rome on foot this place is a must, you want regret it.

The Check In was made in advance from a friend of mine as I was arriving later in the evening. ... The staff was polish and helpful, in particular Mr. Ravi and the owner Mrs. Anita. ... All the informations are correct, the property is in a very nice location, in the city centre of Rome and Mr. Ravi and Mrs. Anita are absolutely perfect! ... A very cosy place, cleaned, comfortable and a few steps from all the most important places in Rome!

It is in an ideal location and the rooms (I stayed in 2 different ones over a 9 day period) were clean and very quiet. A/C and Sky (TV) are welcome details; staff was always friendly and helpful. The doubles are huge (for Rome). I can't think of any negatives. The only thing they might improve somehow is the breakfast situation: it is served at a perfectly friendly and charming nearby café, which means you have to go outside for it. In the warm summer, that was no problem, and it was fine, but a bit meagre, even given the simplicity of the Italian breakfast. It was exactly as advertised on the site, but hotels in Venice and Florence at the same price level offered ample coffee, all the bread/croissants you wanted, and juice (or even more). I would think the café could give patrons a larger serving of coffee, two or more croissants, and juice (not too much to ask!). So that is the only thing they might improve, as far as I can see.

I appreciated very much all the items in the bathroom. They are as a 4 star hotel. Also the mini bar has a large choice of drinks and snacks. The mattress is very comfortable. ... A romantic place with a lot of amenities in the room. You can sleep there also if you have lost your luggage I think.

The stay in the Locanda Senatorum was in any way a nice experience. The room was fine, breakfast at the nearby bar excellent and the staff was absolutely great. The concierge was very helpfull to make reservations in restaurants, book transportation etc.
Furthermore the staff (concierge, cleaning) was very nice to our daughter (age 7). It is a very fine pålace to bring children.
We will definately be back. ... The stay in the Locanda Senatorum was in any way a nice experience. The room was fine, breakfast at the nearby bar excellent and the staff was absolutely great. The concierge was very helpfull to make reservations in restaurants, book transportation etc.

The shower wasn't working properly the first night. But otherwise, the place was very nice. We really appreciated the small touches such as the toiletry kit and chocolates on our pillow every night! ... It would be helpful to have bus maps. The receptionist (particularly the male...I forgot his name) helped us figure out which bus to take each day, but it was a little tricky. ... I think it may have been a little overpriced. But I do think that it was a very nice place. ... Great location next to Pantheon and Piazza Navona. Not near a metro station, but buses easily accessible. Very clean. They also had very thoughtful complimentary things such as toothbrushes, shaving kit, shower gel, as well as placing chocolates on the pillows everyday!

We arrived very late on a Friday night (00:30) and The Locanda Sentorum very kindly arranged for the keys to be left with another hotel in the same building, which was very helpful. ... A well presented small hotel, with very friendly staff, in a fantastic location!! I would definitely recommend staying here (and already have!)

The staff were fantastic and organised our room straight away as we were early and had a young child that needed a sleep. ... One of the nicest, value for money, hotels i have ever stayed in. Great location and fantastic staff ... I would absolutely recommend it. Modern, great location, clean, quiet and fantastic helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them. All the major sites within walking distance and great restaurants in the local area. Fantastic value for money

Arrived eariler than suggested check in time and was able to get in the room, so that was great. ... It wasn't so clear about having vouchers for a local cafe for breakfast rather than breakfast at in the hotel. Having said that I really loved going to the cafe for breakfast, it was a really nice place that served lovely coffee and where we could mix with the locals. ... Romantic, Excellent Location, Great for couples of all ages, very clean, nice touches. Quite. Couldn't fault it.

Easy check in-they were expecting us and waiting with everything ready. ... Great people and very accomodating. Always willing to help and give good advice about the area and about Rome. Not large rooms but very comfortable--when you're in Rome why spend time in your bedroom? ... Easily done, no questions or hidden fees. ... Very quite neighborhood but also close to everything. We walked everywhere in the ancient City easily. ... Stay there!

They are very knowledgeable about the city, and spoke very clear English. ... This is the cleanest place I have ever stayed at... something very important to our family. ... The location for the price is unbeatable. ... Clean, wonderful location, caring staff, huge rooms for Italy, large bathrooms, and much better than any hotel I have ever stayed at in Italy. I have been in Italy for 1-6 months per year for the past six years; this is by far the nicest accommodation I have found. I would definitely return.

We used the shuttle service to arrive at the hotel. The directions for using this service was clear. ... We had such a wonderful stay here! It was only a 5 minute walk to the Pantheon, a 5 minute walk to Piazza Navona, a 15 minute walk to the Vatican, and a 7 minute walk to a taxi stand. I would suggest taking a cab to get to the Colosseum.
Renata and Raffi (spelling ?) were very welcoming and nice. Our room was No. 3. We were in the corner of the buiding so we had a view of 2 different streets. The room was large (especially by European standards) and very clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was updated, plenty of hot water, and the air conditioning was wonderful!
Breakfast is either OJ or coffee and a crossiant or breakfast sandwich. The cafe is just 2 right turns away (a 3 minute walk) and the guys that work there are SO NICE! Breakfast is not possible before 7 a.m. because it doesn't open before then.
My only warning is that it is on the 3rd floor and there is no lift. So, if you are elderly or have physical limitations, you may want to consider another hotel.
I would definately stay here again and definately recommend this hotel to others!!
Thank you so much for a great stay!

The only slight downside was that the hotel was on the 2nd floor and there was no lift and as we were travelling for two weeks we had quite heavy bags but not to worry a lovely Italian man who lived in one of the apartments very kindly carried our bags up to the hotel for us so we knew instantly that we were going to enjoy our stay! ... The hotel was beautiful very clean and very central and the staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Will definately recommend to friends and work colleagues and also stay again when in Rome. ... That is was very central with beautiful clean rooms, a great mini-bar and lovely staff!!

We asked for a room with 2 beds but got one with a doublebed. Though we gor abig room so we were happy. We would like more informtion such as fixespriceswith taxi 30 euros from ciampino and not rely on expensive services, an experienced traveller won´t buy a privet transfer wich costs much more than a normal taxi.
we also appriciated the nice prices in the mini bar.
the staff was very helpful especially Ravi!
I hope he likes his job and will stay there and get a rise !! or maybe he owns the place.
best wishes Miss Seppanen ... The thing that makes locanda worth staying compirng to other same price hotels are is the location. I think Locanda should work a little more to give the guests a little extra and not rely on the location only.
best wishes, Marja Seppanen

The directions were clear to me but the taxi had problems (maybe because of one way streets)and did not leave us off in front of the Locanada. We were several blocks away. ... The Locanda was very nice and the staff attentive. My husband insisted it was on the fourth floor since there were four flights of stairs and not the third floor. Great location. ... Smooth and efficent. We were able to check out an hour later then the posted time. ... More stairs than expected escpecially is traveling with luggage. ... Clean and efficient. Bathroom had great water pressure and hot water. Bed was comfortable. Not much noise at all. Room a little small. Had difficulty getting clothes out of the suitcase at the same time as my traveling companion. Best location ever. Never took a cab or bus or train. We walked everywhere.Be wary of quantity of stairs versus what is posted on the internet.

During our stay we only got to see the receptionist once when we checked in. As the Locanda Senatorum Town House does not have a breakfast room, they offer coffee vouchers of a coffee shop near by, which is a very good thing. Unfortunately they missed to give us a second voucher for the next day.
... When we checked out in the morning, there was no one. I wanted to pay cash, so I did not had the chance to. ... Nice and small Town house. Very proper and very local - in the heart of Rome.

We were given a triple room plus a fold up bed. Unfortunately the triple room was extremely small - you not it a suite. ... Breakfast was voucher. ... The romoms are small and compared to my parent's B&B (they stayed at All'Obelisco B&B in Rome)there was no comparison. All'Obelisco cost less, had bigger rooms, had a breakfast room.
