I never give five stars, so don't take that as a ding, necessarily! My husband, two teen sons, and I stayed in the family "room" at Il Covo, which is the B&B option for the Hotel Antica Locanda, in the Colosseum district. I chose it because of its location between the Colosseum, the Forum, Trevi fountain, and the Spanish steps.The room itself was very comfortable, and had couches that turned into beds with mattress toppers for the boys and a king sized bed in a separate room for us. The building was not air conditioned, but each room was and it was very comfortable even in the 100+ degree heat. Our room was on the 5th (6th!) floor, but thankfully there was a tiny elevator (one person and a large suitcase only). Since we were on the top floor, our room had a lovely little terrace which overlooked the neighborhood. It was too hot to sit outside except for EARLY in the morning or late in the evening, but in the evening the Colosseum was lit with the lovely "golden hour" glow of the setting sun. There were literally DOZENS of places to eat within a two block radius (including the cafe down the street that is where our breakfast was). Note: for Americans it was jarring that some places didn't open for dinner until 7:30pm. And some places didn't want you to just order drinks and snacks, and others ONLY had drinks and snacks, depending on the hour. This hotel was not the least expensive option in the neighborhood, but it was delightful and I would stay there again.

The Il Covo is managed by the (adjacent) hotel just across a small side street. It is a 10 minute walk from the Cavour metro station. The check-in staff was wonderful. She walked us up to our room to avoid our getting confused. Were on the 5th floor and there is a lift. The room was comfortable. The only irritation was the internet got clogged in the pm but not enough to lose a star. It is close to eats, shops, and small grocery. The Colosseum is a 10 minute walk. Buses were within reasonable distances. Tap and go was handy for us on the few bus trips we did. Check-out was very easy. Transportation tip: On the inbound, we took Leonardo (€18.00-ticket) from the airport plus 1 stop Metro B (€1.20) from Roma Termini to Cavour. On the outbound, we took Metro B (€1.20) from Cavour to EUR Magliana. Then Cotral bus from stop #f10036 (€2.20) right outside the EUR Magliana exit. You need to download the Cortal App to buy a ticket, i.e. no tap and go. Pro: It is a chill ride (vs.Termini) and save some coin. Con: Buses are less frequent but it is the start of the line and our 11:00 bus left on the second.

The room was huge, nicely updated and featured doors opening onto a quiet courtyard, which we very much enjoyed. The location was wonderful on a quieter street, with an easy walk to the colloseum, shopping, museums and restaurants. We were there for 4 nights, 3 of which our air conditioning was broken. We weren't offered any discounts or a room change, which was disappointing especially since it was excessively hot and we requested service multiple times. They did fix it for our final night, but it was still not working at full capacity. So, even though the room was nice it was very difficult to get comfortable and sleep due to the heat.

This is a little gem close to everything you want to see. We pretty much walked everywhere. Reception was very nice and welcoming. Informative too. Pretty good shower when it stayed up. The restaurant for breakfast, although a little walk away, was good so we went back for lunch on our last day. The only downsides. There was no kettle or coffee machine. I think there was in the past as there were tea bags and cups but no kettle. Also the front door is hard to open when you’re leaving. The smell of the jasmine growing up the front of the building is fantastic. Thank you for making out stay nice and easy 👍

Somewhere to sleep!

You needed to check-in at the reception of the sister hotel, ll Covo was 3 buildings along. The room we had was tiny, dark and cheaply furnished, noisy, the lift was tiny - 1 person and a small case - not suitable for a buggy or wheelchair. Breakfast was served at a cafe down the road on a small square. Continental was served but service wasn't personal/friendly. The room was clean. The terrace area was ok - acessed feom the sister hotel - no bar but you could take your own drinks/food up. The location was good - 10min from the colosseum. We wouldn't choose to stay here again, feeling disappointed.
