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.

Great Stay at Il Covo

Had a great stay at Il Covo, the receptionists were amazing and very helpful. The room was clean and the size was just right for the price. The cot for our baby was prepared in advance and was free of charge. The free breakfast was good. They let us leave our luggage before check-in and after check-out. We stayed a while at the reception after checkout because our baby was fussy and the receptionist was very accommodating. We will surely book again on our next visit.

Small rooms

Room was small and felt a bit claustrophobic, same as the elevator. Almost no space for luggage’s. There was a window but the view is the wall of the next building. Only had 2 pillows for 2 guests and no way to request for extra except to go all the way down to the office next door. The hotel has their own resto/cafe which was nice except we were placed in the other building so then we had to go to the cafe down the road for our breakfast. Breakfast was nice but the staff didn’t feel welcoming. Bathroom was nice, clean and seemed brand new. There’s a small fridge in the room. Heater control is on/off only, can’t change temp. Close to the coliseum and the office personnel give good directions.

I enjoyed my stay at Il Covo. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making my visit pleasant. However, there was a sewer-like smell that occasionally seeped into the room, prompting me to keep the windows open. This would be problematic during the hot summer or cold winter days. Additionally, after my first night, I only had access to one clean towel daily. Overall, I liked this place and would consider staying again if I could be assured of more towels and a room without any unpleasant odors. The staff and location were excellent.

The location was convenient, breakfast was excellent. Our room was lovely but we had sewer gas smell. They treated it 3 times during our 3 night stay but it always came back in the evening. Smelled it all night making sleep difficult. Property fully booked so they couldn't give us a different room. Our friends had a room on 3rd floor and it was fine. 3 different keys needed to get in the building and room plus keys were on a huge heavy key fob making it hard to take with you although you could leave them at the front desk but it was a few doors up. Be aware that checkin is up the street at a different property. We wouldn't stay here again. 1. The smell in our room. 2. Using all the keys to get in and out. There was only 1 set of keys so if you wanted to go out separately, you couldnt get back into the building nor your room without keys.

Front desk Rosanna was very friendly and we enjoyed sharing laughs together. However the actual room is so small and noisy. Felt like we were sleeping in a box; no space for luggage, shower is nearly impossible to move in and we could hear every sound from neighbors through walls to people outdoors all night. Very old building. Also no wifi!! Even regular service was nearly blocked we couldn’t access the internet at all; when I asked if there was another option, the night front desk just told me “no it doesn’t work. No other wifi.” Breakfast was okay, bed was comfortable and location convenient (more up/downhill than we expected), but probably wouldn’t stay again. Thank you.
