Il Covo is a very fine place to stay. The bed and breakfast is located in the heart of Rome, close to the Coloseum. The rooms were large and full equipped with hairdryer, bath towels, refrigerator, ... The staff was always ready to help. Breakfast was served in the bar on Piazza Madonna dei Monti, near Il Covo.

Great centralized location, just a short walk away from the Colisseum and subway stations. Nice, typical Italian breakfast. The room was small but it was quaint and it was clean. The only bad thing was that the air conditioning sucked! The staff were helpful as well. Overall would stay here again! More

Perfect for a little drink with some delicious salatines or a casual dinner. Very relaxed and very Italian. Just lovely. More

Avoid Il Covo, it’s a scam, an arrangement between Il Covo, Antica and Il Griffo, who have small rooms in nearby buildings, with bad or non-existent services. Internet doesn’t work (only at the reception), there are no telephone extensions in the rooms, the air condition doesn’t work and I had a shower that didn’t reach the height of my shoulders.... More

I was recommended this b&b by a tour guide. I called, they seemed nice enough on the phone. When we got there we got a different story. Covo means lair in Italian and this place really turned out to be the lair of rudeness, impatience and awful attitude. The saving grace of this B&B is that it is centrally located... More

I chose this bed and breakfast because the location and the price, which both are excellent. We stayed not in the main building, but in a room of an appartment a few streets away. It was located on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator, but for us that was not a problem. The room was small but not... More

The room was clean and well furnished and the bathroom and spotless. We paid £50 a night for this room which was much cheaper than others in the area that looked... More

Upon arriving at the so called B&b we were told by a woman with an extremely indifferent attitiude that the rooms are scattered all over the neighbourhood. OK, fair enough, we thought, "when in Rome"...We were then led for about 4-5 city blocks !!!, over bumpy, often broken cobblestone streets having to carry all of our luggage with no assistance,...
