Casa in Monti

Location is very good. Monti as a locality is a great base from which to explore all the major sights on foot. Good selection of local restaurants too, including directly opposite (Ristorante Il nipotino del solitario). Hotel is in an older building, on the first floor. There is an elevator but we found the stairs easier. Room a comfortable size for two people. Quiet too.

Being an older style hotel, we found a lack of bench space to put things on. Our toiletries bags had to sit of the floor for example. Also, the hotel hosts international clients, but the breakfast was very 'Italian'. That is, breakfast choices were sweet cakes, cold slices of pizza, a boiled egg ... Supermarket orange juice, no fruit, no cereal. But coffee of course. This needs improvement in my opinion.

Great location, super friendly staff

It was comfortable, worm and near some of the important things in Rome. The staff was very polite. The bed was comfortable although only one pillow was provided. There is some good restaurants in the vicinity. It is not the cheapest by any means but if you do not mind basic, I think is worth considering.

This is a guest house and not a Hotel as I was to find out. It is on a first floor and access is via a set of worn marble steps so if you are carrying heavy luggage you may struggle. I discover later that there is a lift, but no suggestion to use this at check in was made. Breakfast is fix, there is no choice. If you have dietary problems there is no alternative, so you may be paying for something that you can not have. We paid for a triple bed room for two people, we just were given a double bed, so smaller than expected room (at least It did not look like the picture in the booking). One thing I did not like at all was the awful water pressure in the shower and the fact that you have to wait a bit to get the hot water and at the same time was difficult to regulate the temperature. When you spend the whole day walking, a decent shower is a must!

Location is great, room was clean, staff was nice, but that's it. Then there are cons because of which i would not consider it again.

The room was too dark, relying only on the lights inside, but the worst thing was privacy. Right behind the room door is the front desk. You can hear every single word through the door. People moving around likely don't realize it or don't care, but it is too disrupting, mainly late in the evening. Also, i am pretty sure outside, every word from the inside of the room is audible. It could be worse only if there is no door there at all.
