Excellent location & wonderful staff
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.

Spotlessly clean, friendly hotel, perfect location
Don't be put off by the look of this hotel from the outside! It is staffed by wonderful people, is spotlessly clean (and we are really fussy!), breakfast is good and brought to your room, and there is a tv and shower etc. Perfect area for exploring Rome by foot. 3rd floor (4th if you're American) so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues - be warned!

Great location, staff
I stayed at two hotels in Monti while I was in Rome, and I wish I'd stated at this one the whole time. Great location, staff was super friendly and helpful, room was comfortable and breakfast was really good. A major plus: it was extremely hot and the air conditioning worked really great. I've had many European hotels claim to have AC but have them barely work. This one worked great. It is on a fairly loud street, but the windows kept the noise out well. Breakfast is 5€/person, delivered to your room. The food was great, and nice to start the day (mostly cold items, but good array).
Breakfast!

Disliked: Staff & service
Arrived late (10pm) after flight from Tokyo - so got key from another hotel as prearranged no problem. But plumbing in my room was very bad - the toilet has a pump that kept grinding very loudly for about 30 minutes. (Never struck anything like this before!!!) So tried to phone management - but incorrect contact information in room about how to phone them. So ended up Skyping them - they sent very kind lady 10 minutes later who basically told me to turn off the toilet power, and only turn it on briefly each time after toilet was used!!! They moved me next day without much apology. Overall very basic accomodation - but clean and wifi good. Fantastic area. Would stay again in Monti area, but not in this hotel.

Amazing location, staff were extremely welcoming.
Had an incredible 4 night stay in Rome. The staff were helpful,knowledgable and welcoming. Breakfast brought to our room each morning was a lovely change/luxury. Myself and my husband are vegetarian/vegan and the hotel staff couldn't have been more friendly and understanding- even asking if we needed any specialise products as they would cater for us specially and specifically to our dietary requirements. Great vibe to the place and a delightful street, with markets, restaurants and a cool little bar we loved, just 2 doors down from the hotel.

Hotel De Monti
Pros: The hotel location is a big plus, close to train station which we arrived. Hotel's employees were fantastic, very helpful and friendly, We didn't know there is no elevator in the hotel both my sister and I had knee issue so they helped us with carrying our bags both ways. The room was very comfortable and big enough for me and my sister and clean. They served breakfast in our room which was nice and the price for the location in Rome was very reasonable. I general I had a very good experience and loved the staff. Cons: not having elevator is a big minus. It seems the building is old and the city won't let them to install elevator but for guests should consider this. There was an issue with the pipe so we always had noise if the water was running I mean very loud noise.

Great location...great people..
Really nice hotel in a great location. Great checkin with restaurant recommendations which were both great. The rooms are very nice for the price. The breakfast was basic but the coffee was lovely. The only negative was 3 floors of stairs waiting after walking all day around Rome! If you can handle this it's a great choice

Nice hostel, in a good area.
Hotel de Monti was a good place to stay in Rome. It was close to Colosseum and train station. There were lots of great bars and restaurants in the surrounding area The road was little noisy outside and the stairs are quite steep! But apart from that we really enjoyed our stay.

Good two star hotel, good location
The hotel is on the third floor of a very old building. There is no sign on the building for the hotel but it is not hard to find especially with a smartphone map ap. Hotel also sends you a link to a video on how to get there from the train station. Instructions from hotel are that you must arrive by 6 pm and we hurried to do so, but it turns out that staff is at desk until 8 pm so there might have been some leeway...not sure. Staff was helpful - continental breakfast served in your room exactly at the time you request. Room and bathroom are very small but fulfill needs and are very clean.

Great stay near the centre of Rome
The hotel was a fifteen minute walk from the Roma Termini train station. There was actually a YouTube video to 'show' you the way to the hotel. Staff were super friendly and walked us through a map of the area including popular sights and restaurants. They also offered right away to help us with reservations. The room itself was one of the most spacious we stayed in while in Italy. One quirky thing we needed to get used to was the loud toilet. I believe it is called a 'macerator toilet.' The staff let us know it is a necessity in the old building. We didn't really notice the noise after a day. The room itself was very clean and was cleaned every day we stayed. There was also a provided breakfast where you could choose from a good list of items. You were also welcome to have them all if you wanted! This was a welcome detail because most places only provide a croissant and espresso as their breakfast. We particularly enjoyed the cookies! One of our best stays while on our trip!

Returned to de Monti - great location and staff
This was our second visit to De Monti - te first was 4 nights in 2014 and we were 4 nights this time. The location of this hotel is great - near termini and within walking distance of all major sites. Great restaurants, bars and shops nearby - which was great for evenings after longs days of walking. The staff was very helpful again with tips reservations and setting up taxi to airport. There is no elevator and several flights of stairs so you must be mobile to stay here. Rooms are smallish but clean and breakfast (good breakfast) is brought to your room on a tray.

Taverna di monti and La Carbornara are amazing and brilliant value for money Great cocktail bar next door with live music some nights. 5 mins to the colleseum and 30 mins to St Peters. Able to walk to all the sights. Breakfast was lovely, great coffee! Supermarket 2 mins away. Room very clean and everything you need.

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel in the Monti neighborhood. Central to attractions but quiet at night and good local restaurants. Would recommend to anyone looking for a small, quiet hotel with a good location. The front desk woman was very helpful in recommending places to eat. Free breakfast delivered to the room every morning was a great way to start the day.

Disappointing Room/Hotel Accomodations...
EXTREMELY loud with paper thin walls; heard every time someone opened/unlocked the hall door and their room door. In addition; the toilet made a growling sound! Sounds as though there is a subway that runs under the building. NO extra pillows or a blanket; stuck with the two pillows on the bed. Know that there is no elevator and you will have to climb 4 flights of stairs with luggage to get to your room AND limiting check in time!! MUST check in between 1-6PM...did not know this when I made the reservation. If you don't make it by 6PM; you are without a room! Small closet size check in room with one employee checking you in; no hotel lobby. On a positive note; continental breakfast delivered to your room!

Nice place!
This is a very nice hotel however follow the directions carefully before you arrive. The streets in Rome are not conveniently marked so it is not easy to find. The hotel will send you a YouTube video that will get you directly to their hotel, however; you must have Wi-Fi to use it and it is very sketchy after you leave the train station. So make sure you have the directions written down before you try and find this place. Staff is very helpful and friendly and the room was very quaint and quiet!

Quaint stay in Rome......
Excellent location, very easy to find from Termini (view the video link they send you), breakfast was quaint being served on a tray to your room at the time you have specified, room was tidy and kept clean. The people manning the reception were full of info about where to eat and buy gorgeous desserts and gelato. A definite stay for anyone, and Rome is very walkable but beware very hilly!!!!

Charming Hotel, fantastic location
Hotel was charming in probably the best location in Rome. Less than 10 minutes walk from the Colessum. Some of the best restaurants and bars in Rome within walking distance and frequented by both tourists and locals. The staff at the hotel were helpful advising on places to visit and eat. The room was small but big enough for me and my husband. Breakfast was served each morning in our room and everything was fresh and plentiful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rome wanting to stay at a lovely hotel in a safe and charming part of Rome.

If you are in Rome for a short amount of time E.g. 1-3 days and are looking for a nice place for a reasonable price, this is the place for you. Hotel staff are very friendly and the room has everything you need. Room was in great condition upon arrival.

Room quality vs rate
The room was adequate but value vs room I would have expected better. Bathroom to tolit leaked yucky water, bathroom smelled, our room at the kitchen beside it.. which meant a 7am wake up call from the noise. Not all bad though, the staff at the hotel were amazing.

Location and Loved Friendly Staffs.
We stayed 2 nights at Hotel de Monti. Actually it was not a hotel but kind of apartment style accommodation. From the outside, building itself definitely needs major repair and/or face-lift but inside it was surprisingly modernized room and clean. If you didn't know there was no hotel sign at all, it was very difficult to find an entrance door. Walking distance to Termini train station, Colosseum and Trevi Fountain. Good restaurants are nearby, and even grocery store is conveniently locating 5 minutes from the hotel. This hotel’s the best asset is Friendly Staffs without doubt, every one of them are extremely helpful. Including a good breakfast delivered to our room everyday was a bonus.

Nothing was too much to ask for - the staff gave us such amazing advice of how to tackle Rome in a short amount of time. We only had 2.5 days and saw everything we wanted to see and more thanks to the amazing tips and tricks given to us. Could not be more satisfied, and would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to visit Rome - you are literally minutes from the Colosseum and other sights. If I could give this hotel 8 stars out of 5, I would.

The staff was wonderful! The rooms were nice and it was great to have an ensuite bathroom. The location was fantastic and in walking distance to all the major attractions. And I really enjoyed the breakfast. The one thing that was very frustrating was the wifi. It was very weak and there were times where there was no wifi at all.

I must admit I was expecting more from the hotel due to all of the glowing reviews. Hotel De Monti is in a good location and the staff are pleasant but it is very much a budget hotel. The walls are thin enough that you can easily hear conversations from other rooms and people coming and going at all hours. On one night we were kept awake by the sound of a water pump when other guests were showering at 4am before their early departure. The rooms are basic and the beds were not particularly comfortable. Having breakfast delivered to the room is very nice but could be improved on by offering some cereal and a fresh fruit option. You can find some great places to eat just around the corner in Via Urbana which offer options for those looking for something beyond pizza and pasta.

Small hotel offering warm hospitality.
We stayed at Hotel de Monti for 6 nights during our first visit to Rome. It felt like we were staying in an apartment (hotel occupies the 3rd floor of a building in the Monti neighbourhood, no elevator) but we had a lovely breakfast served each morning (menu choices are typical local fare which you select the day before) and had our room tidied up and fresh towels provided daily. Mauro, our wonderful host, was very helpful to provide sightseeing tips which helped us to plan our itinerary, miss crowds and take shortcuts. He was also very helpful in accommodating our special requests!
