http://www.lancelothotel.com Hotel Lancelot


I've stayed at the Lancelot, and like it a lot. Very friendly staff,
good rooms, great breakfast, very quiet street, quite inexpensive.
The only drawback is its location. Although it's only about 2 blocks
from the Colosseum, it's on the FAR side of the Colosseum, and the
Colosseum itself is on the far side of the sights you want to see. So
even though you are right next to the Colosseum and the Forum, you are
some distance from other tourist sites -- the Vatican, Campo de'
Fiori, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Borghese, Piazza Navona, etc.
ON THE OTHER HAND, Rome is a great city to walk in, and staying at the
Lancelot, I walked all the way to the Vatican and back three days in a
row, walked from the Borghese to the Spanish Steps and then to the
Trevi Fountain and back to the hotel, walked from the hotel to Campo
de' Fiori and on to Piazza Navona and back to the hotel. So if you
enjoy walking, as I do, it's no problem. It's also a couple of blocks
from the Colosseo subway station, and not TOO far from the Vittorio
Emanuele area which is a central transportation hub.
If you stay there, try Le Naumachie restaurant, which is on a side
street between the hotel and the Colosseum.

you should get an hotel in the Spanish steps area

no Spanish Steps is much nicer. has the Metro, has the best shopping, is
the safest area of the town, no cars are allowed in most roads there,
it has a huge park, Villa Borghese. Trastevere or the Piazza Navona are
better only for nightlife.

spanish steps is the single most overrated tourist stop in all of Italy
-- the restaurants in the area range from tourist trap creepy to
overpriced and expensive shops --and it is filled with tourists milling
around wondering what on earth to do there -- it IS convenient to the
subway -- but the subway is not convenient for most tourism in Rome --
but to each his own -- just wouldn't want a novice to think this was a
fabulous area to stay [or at least that everyone thinks it is] I have
stayed in this area, in Piazza Navona area and in Trastevere and the
later two are far superior for getting to tourist sites and for local
amenities -- YMMV

That's all a matter of opinion. I'm not big on Trastevere, but I
agree with Jenn, and greatly prefer the Piazza Navona area to the
Spanish Steps.

And nightlife is not one of my interests.

Nonsense. If you stay near the Spanish Steps, you'll find the metro
very convenient. If you stay near Piazza Navona, you won't miss the
metro because you can walk nearly everywhere.

As for traffic, the two areas are about equal. As for nightlife, I
never saw any near Piazza Navona, because I wasn't looking for it. As
for safety, I walk all the time in the Piazza Navona area and have
never felt any risk.
