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.

Stayed in the top floor room of the B&B part of the property. Much to recommend. Spacious, clean, nicely decorated. Strong wi-fi. Comfy bed. Rooftop terrace is delightful. Terrific location in the Monti. Tall blonde woman at check-in desk next door was very helpful. The only reason I can't quite give it the full 5 stars is that the shower stall is small and the water temperature fluctuated quite a bit during even short showers. Even so, I would stay here again.

We would consider this area, but maybe think twice about the property because of the check-in experience. Pros: 1) Room very spacious and clean 2) Location were great. Convenient walk to everything we wanted to do. 3) Breakfast at cafe down the street is great Cons: 1) Check-In: The older lady when we checked in was cranky and seemed very shady. A) She said we needed to pay the city taxes in cash only. Even told us to go to the ATM if we didn't have the cash or she wouldn't give us the key, but still charge us for the room. B) She wanted full payment for all 3 nights up front. We simply asked, "Oh, this doesn't happen at the end?". She became very offended so we became suspicious and asked if we could see the room first. Her reaction was to get super annoyed and mumble something under her breadth the whole time. She locked up my credit card, told us to leave the kids in the office as we walked to the room down the street. C) We liked the room so we paid up front and got cash from the ATM (where we had to also pay fees) to pay the taxes. She took all payments with a very cranky attitude. 2) Hot water: There were 2 adults and 2 teenagers and there usually wasn't enough hot water for the last person if we wanted to shower one after the other at night. 3) WiFi: Only worked to download texts. Wasn't even good enough for me to check-in to my flight. It is fine if you have international data plan because you are able to get decent cellular signal.

Hi, We regret to know that now, because our reception desk is open 24h and we we always try to help our guests if they have problems during the stay. Hope to see you again to give you our best solution for a quiet room in the real centre of Rome. Kind regards, Il Covo Staff

Rome B&B
Boutique style room in quaint cobbled street with lots of restaurants nearby. Just be aware this is a b&b, not a hotel which isn’t clear when you book. Breakfast is not on site, but in a restaurant a street away. Didn’t bother us but might bother some people. Lovely terrace which we used both nights but lots of stairs to get there. Would recommend

I was disappointed to find it was more of an apartment style than hotel. I booked for peace of mind as I was travelling alone but my room was located in a seperate building to the reception area of the ‘hotel’ and my bathroom was also at the end of a communal hallway not in my room- not the most convenient! Very Basic room but overall clean and tidy. The staff were great and super friendly/helpful.

It was an opportunity to visit Rome with my wife and family members. The staff were warm and friendly and the hotel is in a great position for sight-seeing. Watch out for the grumpy neighbour if you spend time on the roof garden though!

Das Zimmer hatte praktisch kein Fenster, man konnte die Fensteeladen nicht offen stehen lassen, weil es Parterre war. Die Klimaanlage hatte Verbindung zur Strasse wodurch viel Geräusch von der Straße in das Zimmer übertragen wurdem. Sehr gutes Empfangspersonal, aber ungültige Telefonnnummer. Buchung nur schwer möglich.

Il covo dépend d'un hôtel qui se trouve à une trentaine de mètres. Il n'y a pas de hall d'accueil tel que présenté dans le descriptif, ni terrasse. Le petit-déjeuner doit être pris dans un restaurant qui se trouve à une centaine de mètres. La chambre était exigüe et ne comportait ni table ni bureau et une seule chaise. Seuls points réellement positifs, le calme et l'emplacement pour vister Rome à pied. A ce jour, la présentation de Il covo sur le site est trompeuse pour ne pas dire mensongère.
