Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Lancelot

This friendly home-away-from-home in a quiet residential area close to the Colosseum has been run by the same family since 1970. Its carefully and courteously attentive staff go the extra mile for their guests. Clean and comfortable guest rooms have basic antique furnishings and big windows—some even with a view of the Colosseum. Some have terraces or balconies as well, and all have air-conditioning, 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.
