Hotel De Monti

My wife and I sincerelyRoman Rapture enjoyed our stay at this centrally located and well-maintained hotel. Thouroughly modern in every way, this hotel personifies Roman hospitality and professional innkeeping. Notable among the well-trained and friendly staff was hostess Camilla in the restaurant. Her professional care and attention was out-shined by her friendliness and sincere care for the guests. Her advice on things to see and do were second to none. We look forward to staying here for another week next year.

Fantastic hotel 5 mins from the coliseum
Lovey breakfast
Staff so helpful
Very clean
Beautiful restaurants nearby all nationalities catered for
Quaint little streets making experience more fantastic okay
Highly recommended

Booked this hotel specifically because its address is close to the train. But upon check-in, I was told to go to another unknown and unsigned building (named hotel de Monti) 5 minutes away. Ended up having to drag my luggage uphill 5 more minutes away from the train station, and then up 4 floors without elevators. My original booking had breakfast included. But the unknown building doesn't have breakfast and I have to walk 5 minutes one-way in the morning to the original booking address in order to get my breakfast. Worse, the unknown building was very poorly maintained. The first room had unbearable methane or ammonia smell. so I walked back to the original booking address to switch rooms, then they give me another room in the unknown building, but as soon as I sat on the bed, one of the legs gave away. I called maintainance, the owner of the building came but wasn't able to fix the bed then and there, he used a stack of books to pop up the bed.

We stayed here for 3 nights and had a really pleasant stay. Check-in is at Hotel Griffo and it's just a short walk to the De Monti. The receptionist was fantastic, really friendly and helpful. The hotel rooms are situated on the 3rd floor, which may be difficult for those with mobility issues as there is no lift. The room was basic, but very clean and comfortable. The rooms were cleaned daily and fresh towels were also provided daily. Breakfast is taken at the Hotel Griffo, and is basic but adequate for what you pay for. However, the best thing about the hotel is the location. It's literally a 10 - 15 min walk to the coleseum. There's plenty of restaurants/cafes etc in the vicinity too. All in all a really lovely stay and highly recommended if you want to be close to the Coleseum.

Lovely budget hotel in a great location. (Coliseum is a 15 min walk). Check-in is at Hotel Griffo, which is a short walk to the hotel. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The room was spotless and was cleaned daily with fresh towels provided throughout our 3 night stay. The rooms are situated on the 3rd floor and the steps are rather steep - so perhaps not ideal if you have mobility issues. Unfortunately no tea/coffee facilities in the room, but a short morning stroll to the Hotel Griffo for breakfast was a lovely way to start the day. Breakfast is basic, but for a budget hotel, it was more than adequate. All in all, a really lovely, welcoming hotel in a fantastic location.

The Hotel was nice and spacious it was clean and you could have it cleaned daily. Nice location close to Colosseum the only let down for me was no tea and coffee facilities in the room but if you want to stay in a nice quiet area of Rome but still has enough bars and restaurants in the area this is for you. Check in is at Hotel Griffo and the lady on reception was very helpful.

I would like to divide this review into pro's and con's of our stay. First of all, we knew about the three flight of stairs to get to our rooms, which as one reviewer said 'its a workout', but no complaints. The pro's: The location is perfect to access the sights e.g. 10 minute walk to the Coliseum/Forum and a 15/20 minute walk to the Panthenon and Trevi Foutain. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and a special thanks to Eva for her tips and advice. The room itself was comfortable, clean and the area of Monti had lots of dining options to choose from and with exception of our last night, we dined within a brief walk of the hotel, such was the choice.
The con's: The water temperature for the shower was too cool for our taste and while at high summer this may be a blessing, in January it was a shock to the system. I felt that the room could have had tea/coffee facilities as this tends to be standard in most hotels and more storage space for clothing would have been welcome.
Overall, these con's did not spoil our stay and we would return for the right price, but perhaps we would choose the Hotel Griffo to avoid the stairs again (I'm approaching 62 years old, so I would go for the easy option of a lift). Our stay will leave us with very pleasant memories of Rome and as I threw a coin over my left shoulder with my right hand at the Trevi Fountain, I will get my wish to return.

Our room had windows, but no view we did have air conditioning. We knew beforehand that there was no lift and we would be on the third floor. The attraction of staying here was the 1500 year old building. Having walked several kilometres around Rome all day in 30 degrees and considerable humidity, at 60 plus years of age, the concept of climbing 58 steps to get to some comfort was a little daunting. Having said this the hotel is close to a lovely area with lots of interesting shops and eateries. The coliseum is a 15 minute walk away, if we return we would probably stay at the Hotel Grifo they have an elevator!

My family of five stayed in two rooms. Both rooms had a king bed and a twin. Rooms were very comfortable, AC worked well and bathroom was equipped well. The breakfast was superb and included in the price of the room. There is a Metro stop across the street, but we walked to Colosseum (5 minutes), Trevi Fountain (15 minutes) and the Forum (20 minutes.) Lots of restaurants around that were excellent. Will stay again.

Very nice hotel. Looks new. Breakfast included. There is a mini mart just across the street. Alot of eateries all over the area. Not just italian food. Colassium walking distance just down the street to ur right then left. The forum very close to the colissium. The hotel rooms have a safe. Currently the balcony view is not available cuz they seem to be upgrading it. Got a peek though and its a big balcony.

Fantastic little place right in the best part of Rome. Angelo was a great host and very helpful. The rooms are basic but were perfect for what we needed. Very clean room with a nice basic breakfast included. The location was perfect, really central to all the places we wanted to see. Will definitely stay here again when we are back in Rome!!

Location is a few roads down from the Colosseum/Roman Forum. Staff are lovely, very friendly and accommodating- on our last day, we were allowed to leave our suitcase in the room/reception for as long as we needed to enjoy a few more hours of Rome before getting an evening flight.

The hotel is just around the corner from the road Via Urbana. Which has some cool places to eat, including Grezzo- a vegan raw chocolate/ice-cream parlour and a restaurant called Aromaticus which has a predominantly vegan menu/very healthy food options. There are supermarkets (Meta and Super Elite) a short walk away too.

In the other direction, there is the main train station/bus terminal (where you can get a bus- the 714 for most of the journey down to the Domatilla Catacombs (closest stop is Navigatori).

We walked everywhere this holiday, saw the majority of the attractions and only used the bus once.

The room was very clean. Access to the building is via a keycard, and breakfast is provided via a nearby hotel.

This is a fabulous hotel. We were undecided on our rating and ended up dropping it to 4.5 only because it is on the 3rd floor with no lift. But hey, you walk around & up and down stairs all day enjoying Rome, what’s a few more stairs. Of course, for those with a physical condition or disability it may be a problem.

Hotel De Monti has everything we want of accommodation: - perfect location; wonderful friendly staff; very good value for money (for central Rome); decent size & nicely renovated rooms (with very good beds & functional bathroom; spotlessly clean; and quiet (double glazed windows & not too noisy street). It has Wi-Fi and aircon but the windows can be opened. A decent breakfast is also included in the price. And there is a safe.
The hotel is less than 10 minutes walk from the Termini station, the hub for transport to/from the airport and for anywhere in Italy. The must see sites are easily walkable from the hotel. The Coliseum is just 8 minutes away and most of the others (except the Vatican) are less than 20 minutes walk. The Vatican is about 40 minutes but you can get a metro back to the hotel. The Metro station is5 minutes away. The walk back from the Vatican is beautiful particularly the bridges.

The hotel is just around the corner from a really nice cluster of streets with great restaurants and shops as well as a few tasteful bars. And it is a very safe after dark. Finding it: On first arrival, it was hard to find the door on the street and the small name plate for the hotel. Like most others in central Rome, the hotel doesn’t occupy the whole building. The address is 95 Via Panisperna. don’t be confused by the next door hotel window that says “95 rooms”. We knew we were close so we phoned reception and the lovely Dadda came down and met us at street level. She even helped with the bags. After 24 hrs flying from Oz we could have kissed her. The hotel is not very far, maybe 150 metres down Via Panisperna off the main drag from the Termini (via Cavour). It was very very easy to find each evening. We stayed a total of 5 nights on our way into and out of Italy and would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in October. Spotlessly clean, basic accommodation, probably better described as a B and B than an hotel as no bar or sitting area. Comfortable beds, bathroom tiny but adequate. Great location for walking to many sites of interest and lots of lovely places to eat and drink nearby. Would recommend for a budget break.

2 night stay for tourism. 2 gents in their 40s.

Had a friend come visit from the US and played tour guide for a few days in Rome. My wife was nice enough to let me get away and I was just looking for a basic place to stay that was decently located.

You can't really complain for what it is...They come right out and claim it's 2 star property. Rooms seemed a little smaller than what they appeared online, but really wasn't expecting anything large anyways.

The included breakfast is a nice touch but we were out too early and back too late to order and take advantage of it more than once.

Office hours are limited but once again the property lets you know this in advance.

The staff was nice enough to stay a bit longer with my luggage so my friend and I could finish a tour before heading to the airport.

Conclusion...

For what it is and what my needs were, I found the property perfectly acceptable and I have no hard complaints. Contrary to that, the breakfast is a plus for a 2 star. If your looking for something pretty well located, something you can use as a base for 18 hours a day tourism and then just come back and shower and sleep...if you're on a budget...if you're not in need of luxuries and space...this place does the job nicely...It's basic...but it's not a dump...it's clean...I don't know how often I'd find myself in the same situation, but I'd stay here again if I found myself in similar circumstances.

Just a disgusting place to stay where they got there photos of there rooms i am bewildered nasty dirty place to stay and breakfast well that was a complete JOKE. DON'T BOOK THIS PLACE.Even though its close to Spanish steps spend a little bit more money and Stay somewhere else.

Душевая кабина не очень!)) и само здание тоже старовато и не ухожено!

This hotel is very modern and the quality of the room is great. The location was good (right next to the colosseum) and we enjoyed the nice walk to centre (around 25 minutes) which is where we mainly went for dinner.

There were two negatives for this hotel. The room was really really small. We got a standard room, but I didn't realise just how cramped it would be. Of course, you spend most of the time seeing the city, but the size of the room was still frustrating. The breakfast was pretty poor as well and you have to get the coffee yourself froma a poor quality machine.

Would probably recommend, but next time, would go without breakfast and upgrade to a larger room

We stayed here only one night to be close to the Colosseum, a must see, and walked from the train station, easily done. Very friendly, accommodating. Great breakfast for 5 euros. One drawback is the stairs to get up to it. But they help with bags, even though it said they do not! Great restaurant about two doors away.

Ottima posizione per visitare il centro di roma e in particolare Foro Romano e Colosseo. A due passi dalla stazione Termini nel quartiere Monti pieno di locali e ristoranti. Ottimo breakfast servito nel vicino hotel grifo. Non adatto a tutti perchè ubicato al terzo piano senza ascensore.
