Fodor's Review:

Originally a guesthouse that started hosting visitors in the 1950s, Hotel Lancelot has been run by the same family since 1970, and is well known for its wonderfully attentive staff and the personal care they give to those who stay here. Located in a quiet residential area near the Colosseum, rooms at Hotel Lancelot tend to have big windows, so they're bright and airy, and some have terraces or balconies as well. Over the years, the hotel has undergone a number of renovations. The most recent updated the rooms with air-conditioning, en suite bathrooms, TVs, and Wi-Fi. In the restaurant, where hearty breakfasts and dinners are served, guests sit at Lancelot's "round tables"—partly a play on the knight's tale and partly an effort to encourage communal dining among guests from around the world. And these round tables seem to be a big hit, since Hotel Lancelot boasts that most of their guests are either return visitors or new guests recommended by others who've spent vacations here. Pros: their motto is "hospitality" and they have the staff to prove it; secluded and quiet; very family-friendly. Cons: some of the bathrooms are on the small side; no refrigerators in the rooms; the location may be a little too quiet for some travelers.
