Good stay

We stayed in a large room with a tiny bath and were very comfortable. Breakfast in a small restaurant 2 blocks away was nice -- croissants, coffee, bread, cheese, yogurt and juice. After a few days we paid extra for omelets to get a little protein and variety. Very nice neighborhood with good restaurants just half a mile from the Roman Colosseu.

This property was perfect for getting around to the Colosseum/Roman Forum, and also to the Trevi Fountain/Pantheon as it sits close to both. We also we able to walk from the train station as well even though with luggage wasn’t ideal. The breakfast was good and the staff were very nice. It is in the city so expect noise outside and could hear people in the hallway fairly easily. Overall we really enjoyed that we stayed here because of the ability to get around.

Incredibly friendly staff. The area is pretty strategic for basically whatever you want to do in Rome. Room was clean felt safe as well. The only thing I wish was better was the Wi-Fi it was pretty slow. if I could give 4.8 Stars I would.

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.

See if you can get a floor above street level so you don’t hear street noise or doors opening. Standard European rooms. Lovely front staff every one of them.!

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!
