We didn't stay here but happened by it for lunch and we had a very good pizza and good lasagna. It was a cute little setting for a lunch. Can't say anything about the hotel though...

Small hotel, cozy and very welcoming. No elevator, and no phones in the rooms. Each room designed differently, they have Wi-Fi at the entrance floor. The breakfast is very nice.
We loved the fact that it doesn't feel like hotel. We will use this hotel on our next visits in Rome.

Stayed in July at Antica Locanda with a family of 9. The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious for European standards. Carmen, at the desk, was welcoming and helpful-went out of her way to make our stay a pleasant one. Khalid was also helpful, in the evening. We stayed on the lower floors and could hear all the street traffic and noise but family members in upper rooms were not bothered. The air conditioning was not up to American standards yet we were in Rome during one of the most awful heat waves of 2011. The breakfast was decent and just enough to get you started on your day. It is truly an Italian breakfast of cheese, prosciutto, bread, and jam. The same thing is served everyday so be prepared. The blood orange juice is fabulous...ask for another glass. However, the breakfast staff can be a bit tempermental.
The hotel is located in the Monti region of Rome, a great area the is a few minutes walk from the Coloseum and other major attractions, yet, away from all the hustle bustle of the tourist areas. The hotel is surrounded by quaint little cafes and shops-all within walking distance. We would DEFINITELY stay there again. Be warned-no elevator and lots of stairs.

While the location was very convenient to the Colosseum, Forum, subway and trains, the beds were rock hard (ours) or very lumpy (our friends'), the street noise was the worst we've ever heard (windows did not close completely) and the rooms were boarding-house seedy (dirty bedspreads, stained sofa, etc). When we checked in, we were told that we could get a 10 Euro discount for cash when we checked out. When we checked out, there was no such discount. That would have been a start to compensate for three very bad nights sleeps. Would not recommend this for a level of traveler beyond drunken teenage backpacker.
