Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Lancelot enjoys a superb location, being only a 5-minute walk to the Colosseum, which is even visible from some rooms' balconies and from the panoramic terrace where guests enjoyed watching New Year's Eve fireworks. Guests appreciate the eclectic decor and the sitting rooms available to relax in. The breakfast is a continental buffet offering a wide choice of food, though some found the TV signal in the rooms to be practically non-existent. Dinner is available, offering a good opportunity to meet other guests.

friendly staff healthy options basic room cleaning lady

The staff was friendly and the room super clean. Breakfast offered healthy options. i enjoyed that the location was close to the colosseum, and many good restaurants were nearby.

The room was basic, and i paid extra for a colosseum view, but it was not there.
