Ask for the 6th-floor units that have private terraces overlooking Ancient Rome—they’re well worth the 20€ extra you pay.
Oyster
Mid-Range
"The family-owned and operated Hotel Lancelot is a mid-range property in the quiet, village-like neighborhood of Celio; a six minute walk to the Colosseum and a two-minute walk to the nearest metro." Full review
The Telegraph
8.0
"Its old-fashioned elegance feels just right in the Celio, an attractive district that, despite being in the shadow of the Colosseum, is a quiet world apart from the city-centre bustle." Full review

Fodor's

The Telegraph
8.0
"Describing its ethos as ‘rough-luxe’, the 10-room boutique hotel places original, vintage pieces by leading Italian designers in a stripped-back historic building, leavening the mix with rich fabrics, playful contemporary art interventions and a ground-floor bar and breakfast room that feels like a shabby-chic bistro." Full review
Departures
"Each unit is one of a kind: patina walls come illuminated by 1950s light fixtures, Baroque style ceilings sit above items like a Gio Ponti bar trolley." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith
"G Rough, a 10-suite boutique stay in central Rome, wraps five-star service and retro Roman glamour in shabby-chic garb." Full review

Michelin Guide
"This is Roman luxury the way it usually only exists in fantasies: perfectly tailored from materials of the highest quality, and then lovingly scuffed and worn to show it’s built to last." Full review
