Most loveseats are 140–180 cm (55–71 in) wide, 85–95 cm deep and 75–90 cm tall: as deep and tall as a full sofa, only shorter. The arms take 10–20 cm on each side, so look at the seat width between them too.

Enter the loveseat from its listing, then your doorway, hall and the wall it will stand against. At this length it usually stands on end, so the doorway width is the one to watch.
All in centimetres. 1 in = 2.54 cm.
Tilted back, it needs 78 cm of width. Your doorway is 91 cm wide, so there is 13 cm to spare.
Diagonal depth is measured with the cushions off: a straight edge across the back and the arm, then from it to the back bottom corner.
At 160 cm it can stand on end under your 203 cm doorway.
Short enough to stand on end under most doors. Leave a little room for hands as it goes through.
It takes 160 cm of your 300 cm wall and leaves 140 cm.
If it sits next to a sofa or chairs, add their widths to see the whole group against the wall.

Most are 140–180 cm (55–71 in) from arm to arm. Raymour & Flanigan quotes a slightly wider 52–72 in (132–183 cm), so a compact one can be as narrow as 132 cm.
Usually not. A loveseat tends to have the same seat depth as a full sofa, 51–61 cm (20–24 in), and the same 85–95 cm overall depth. Only the width is smaller, and that is what changes how it feels in a room.
Arms take 10–20 cm (4–8 in) on each side. On a 140 cm loveseat that leaves 100–120 cm (39–47 in) between them, so slim arms buy proportionally more seat on a two-seater than on a long sofa.
It is the usual choice. Raymour & Flanigan calls loveseats great for small rooms or apartments, and for small living rooms Castlery suggests a two-seater or a compact three-seater.
Often a full sofa or a couple of chairs. Keep 75–90 cm (30–35 in) of walkway around the group and 40–50 cm (16–20 in) between the seats and the coffee table.
On a two-seater, buyers want the width between the arms as much as the overall width. The picture at the top was annotated in SizeMarker: mark your own loveseat the same way, add the seat height and fabric, and send buyers one product card for WhatsApp or WeChat.
