Monti Palace Hotel

We stayed for 7 nights and we enjoyed the room as it was spacious and in good condition with a view of the street below. The windows can be unsafe for small children so be aware of that. The window opens wide, on hinges making it unsafe for children for both windows, one is in the bathroom. We kept both windows open for the air. The A/C is not controllable from the room (not turned on yet) so it was stuffy and too warm to keep the windows closed at night but the room did cool off well. However it is a noisy street with loud cars through the night and young people on the street. The loudest night by far was Friday night. Location is a benefit as the Roman forum and Colosseum are about a 10 min walk. The Cavour metro station is across the street. There is a convenience store down the street but I didn't see any grocery stores, there may be some on Via Cavour as you go towards the Colosseum. There is one elevator that works well but can get busy at times. The breakfast is on the rooftop bar with a nice terrace to look out at the city. The food is just about enough with bread selection, cheese, yogurt, cold meat cuts, some fruit and vegetables and coffee. The scrambled eggs were usually cold and service was busy but not overly warm. They don't get conversational (ask about your day or morning) nor do the front desk staff. Probably a language barrier, hopefully. The highlight is the view, natural light from the windows and adequate breakfast.

The room was spacious and clean, it had a fantastic bathroom and everything we needed, was in a safe and convenient location, the kids had their own beds, the beds were comfortable, the rooftop breakfast was included and a wonderful start to everyday, and the staff was excellent.
