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.

We had a lovely time in Rome staying at this property. Staff were very nice and spoke English. Location is conveniently located 10 min walk from the colosseum. The breakfast is served at a cafe one block down the road. Room had a small frig and included a wine bottle opener - which when traveling Europe can be difficult to find. Would recommend for experience and price.

They staff were friendly and attentive. Our room was nice, but located up more than a few flights of stairs. There was an elevator but it’s super tiny and could barely hold 2-3 of us. Breakfast was delightful even though the restaurant was located down the street. Despite all the stairs, I would definitely recommend this place!

Great location, comfy

The room was pretty nice. I liked the breakfast at a nearby cafe - it was a couple pieces of meat and cheese with coffee, bread, yogurt, croissant. It was a little warm in the room but it’s also summer in Italy. The location was nice, a short walk to the Colosseum. It was also walking distance (about a mile) to Termini, so I was able to save on a bus/taxi.

We stayed at Hotel Il Cove for two nights and had a fantastic experience! The location is excellent—close to major attractions yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful. Our room was spotless, modern, and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready with recommendations and a smile. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, with plenty of variety to start the day right. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations, and we would definitely choose Hotel Il Cove again when visiting Rome. Highly recommended!

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.
