Hotel Lancelot

San Giovanni & Testaccio


A great location near the Colosseum, striking views and super-helpful English-speaking staff – the family-run Lancelot scores across the board. The lobby and communal areas gleam with marble and crystal, while the airy rooms exhibit a more restrained classic style. The best, on the 6th floor, also come with their own terrace.

Parking is available on request for €10 per day.

In high season, three-course dinners (€25) are available and served at communal tables.
