The room was large and quite nice. The shower water temperature was irregular and got cold. Climate control also did not work. However, the primary reason for my low score was our check-in. We entered the building to check-in and asked if it was Il Covo. The woman at the desk rolled her eyes and said yes. The check-in process was long and the entire time this woman was incredibly rude to us - the only thing we can think was because we’re American. This was not a budget hotel (in our opinion) and to be treated so rudely was no expected. Days before our stay the first nights stay was put on my card, I had used Apple Pay. She asked me for the same card and I had the physical as she said she couldn’t use tap. This started a series of rejected transactions and the receptionist berating me in a crowded lobby, “for giving her the wrong card.” My fiancé tried to explain the virtual account number is different than physical and she cut him off. When any other person came in she spoke to them and ignored us in the midst of our check-in. Her colleague came out and asked if she needed help and she turned it down. The woman with the long hair who showed us our room was kind and gave a great dinner rec. the woman who helped us figure out a key issue was kind too. But this woman spoiled our stay - great location and breakfast down the street were huge perks but for the rest of our stay we were afraid the woman from check-in would be at the desk. Truly ruined our stay.

The property was clean and the staff was very nice. Had a good breakfast to start the day. Our room did not have A/C and Rome was warm the week we were there. I do believe that the hotel has rooms with A/C. It wasn't too bad seeing how the evenings were cool. I didn't catch her name, but the woman at the desk in the evening was very helpful. She brought ice up to our room when my wife fell and twisted her ankle. During the day, Rosanna was also helpful getting us going in the right direction to see the sights of Rome.

We had a great stay here. The room is spacious and gives you a real Rome feeling with the furniture and exposed brick ceiling. Grateful to have been on the bottom floor as the stair case up is quite windy. A staircase we climbed many times to enjoy the beautiful patio up top. The down side to the bottom floor room would be the sound of vehicles right by the window but I do believe all ground floor rooms in Rome may have this same issue. The bathroom is clean and everything worked really well. The location is great for walking and I cannot say enough great things about the included breakfast. The breakfast is at a small restaurant down the street and the food was always served fast and fresh. Note it’s a set menu but we enjoyed it all 5 mornings and the money saved was an added bonus! The staff were all so incredibly helpful weather we needed to borrow an iron or our hair dryer wasn’t working, they even called us a cab at check out! If you want a great authentic Roman experience this is a great place to stay I would absolutely stay here again.

Certainly Overpriced and Overrated

I might have just been unlucky, but the whole stay felt off from the start. Even though I got a booking confirmation within minutes, when I arrived over three hours later the receptionist claimed they had just received it and made me wait another 10–15 minutes.

The room wasn’t what I booked or anything like the pictures. It was bigger, yes, and clean, but that’s about all the positives. The wardrobe was tiny, barely enough for one person, (picture on this review) completely unrealistic for a room sold as “triple.” The bathroom was clean but cramped, with a low overhead shower that’s awkward unless you’re under 1.76m.

Breakfast was a joke. Advertised as a “continental breakfast,” but all you get is: one orange juice, a yogurt, two slices of ham, two slices of cheese, two slices of plain white bread, one croissant, and a coffee or cappuccino. That’s it, anything else costs extra.

Wi-Fi didn’t work, TV didn’t work, and since the building had no mobile network coverage, I was basically cut off the whole time. Staff kept saying it was temporary, but after five days nothing changed. The reception building next door had working Wi-Fi, management couldn’t even bother with a €90 extender to cover the guest rooms.

Staff were kind and the place was clean, but that doesn’t make up for false advertising and poor service. For the price, absolutely not worth it.

For the most part we liked the hotel..The staff were friendly and most of them helpful. Thre hotel is located near a metro station which is connected to the train station. The room was nice and bed was comfortable. Why we give it a three star rating is the first night of our stay there was no hot water. Two staff members came and couldn't fix the problem, the next day someone finally turned on a separate boiler for the room. The other reason was on our last night the WiFi didn't work, as a tourist the plan I got was slow running in the hotel and I needed to make some bookings. I guess our room had a separate WiFi link and a staff member tried to fix it no go. She then told me she needed her phone and left. I kept waiting for her to come back with an update or solution. Finally after ten minutes I went back to the front desk and then she told me there was nothing the hotel could do until the morning. She did offer to move us to another room but it was getting late and we didn't want to have pack up and change rooms. We were disappointed that the hotel didn’t offer any compensation for the lack of services we received. So an ok place but I can't give it a recommendation.

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.

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.

Additionally, after my first night, I only had access to one clean towel daily.

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.

Great location and staff but dated facilities

The location and friendly staff were great but the room itself was underwhelming. Could walk to most tourist sites with relative ease. Amazing to walk around the corner and see the Colosseum and the staff were easy to access and helpful. Room itself was large by European standards but dated and poorly laid out.

We had a family of 4 so they put us in an \"apartment-style\" room with 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, and a small kitchen. Everything looks pretty old - especially the bathroom. We found the kitchen area fairly useless. The built in bench seating was both uncomfortable and not arranged in a manner conducive to conversation. Also, we were there in the summer and only the bedrooms were air conditioned so the kitchen area was hot.

The property was wonderful, the staff was amazing and the room was very clean. We had a great time and the access to restaurants and the many tourist sites was great. We took a taxi most places and the staff was always great to arrange one for us.

The receptionist was really kind when we firstly arrived, showed us the surroundings of the hotel in a map. The room was really nice, and the air conditioner saved us from the external temperature. It is really well situated, really close to the Colliseum and other touristic places. Overall a really nice experience for what we needed.

Very Unique! This was an apartment chopped into individual rooms. We had a large (king?) bed and a pull out couch for the four of us. Along with the bathroom there was what used to be a kitchen and a very unique terrace space. It was nice to have the outside space but it overlooked another property below. Not an issue.. just different. AC was inadequate but that's how it is in Europe. The front desk was excellent and very helpful. Location is great. Very close to Coliseum and walkable to many other Rome highlights.

Il Covo has an excellent location with many restaurants and shops with a block, and being walking distance from most of Rome's major sights. Staff was really helpful. The room was lovely and recently renovated with a very comfortable bed. The only negative is that the shower was pretty small and it's floor was very slippery.

Loved the property! Great location to see all the major sites. Breakfast was definitely worth it and the 24hr front desk service was great! Getting Ubers/taxis was really easy and there was a few bars nearby as well. We especially loved Sara who was so accommodating during our stay. Definitely recommend this place to stay.

I enjoyed my stay here, it is located very close to the colosseum which was awesome. They cleaned the room every day. It was pretty small but that is Europe for you. There was plenty of storage for our things. The only negative was the bed was really hard which was a bummer since it is such a big part of what you use a hotel for. Everything else was great.

Walks to the Colosseum

The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was beautiful. Would have loved to have been able to move the shower head and a second pillow would have been nice but those were small things to complain about when we could walk to the Colosseum everyday lol.

Very good

Overall, very good and comfortable and on an attractive street. However, I reserved the quadruple room for myself and a family member - which appears smaller than pictured. We arrived at about 10:30pm - check in is at a nearby hotel, not in the same building - we were taken to the room and only one bed was made up, the receptionist said it would be made up following day and we should share so I had to insist repeatedly that it wasn’t good enough as we could not share and that’s not what we paid for, and finally he made the bed up that evening. I also pointed out that there was only one set of clean towels and there was also dirty ones from previous occupants - this however was not rectified until following day. After this oversight everything was fine. The breakfast is not on the premises, at a bar about 100 yards down the street - quite basic - juice, coffee, bread, jam, croissants, cheese and meat - but good enough. I am vegan (and had asked prior to arrival if there were alternatives and was informed there were not) so was able to at least eat bread and jam. Despite the initial oversight, the room was very clean and attractive with daily cleaning and very well placed for the Termini, the metro and all major attractions. Lots of local restaurants within a few yards. Overall very pleased and would use again.

Great hotel, would recommend!

Our group stayed in their largest \"family\" room that sleeps 4. It was clean, and in a great part of the city. One of the beds was definitely a lot less comfortable than the other (it's the bed not pictured in any photos). Breakfast in the morning was great - I suggest going down to the restaurant affiliated with them down the block vs eating on site. The only strange thing was needing 3 different keys to get into the room. But, happy they took safety seriously.

Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The location was fantastic for walking to the Colosseum, Trevi fountain, and Pantheon. There were fantastic restaurants to choose from everywhere. There were only sheets on the bed. I would’ve liked a blanket, but we were comfortable anyway. We would definitely stay here again.

The location was perfect, standing between the colossium at one end and trevi at the other. we arrived late and the lady on reception at that time was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was at a bar around the corner and the waiters were attentive.
The breakfast was good consisting of coffee, juice, bread ham and cheese, a croissant, and yoghurt which was plenty to get you started for the day.
Only a couple of gripes...aircon wasnt working and it was so hot and humid!
There was no tea and coffee facilties in the room so as an early riser i had to go out and source somewhere open for coffee and finally we were encouraged to leave our key at reception and one day wen we couldnt remember the name of our room a rather rude lady left us rather reluctant to do it again! Safety first an all that but we did give her our name on the booking!

The walls between the rooms were very thin. The neighbors bathroom was next to our wall and when they flushed the toilet it was very loud. Could hear the neighbors talking.
Had to walk several blocks for coffee and breakfast in the morning.
Staff was friendly and attentive.
