We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights in February. On arrival, we were very well greeted by Franco and another colleague. Our bags were taken to our room straight away. They also warned me about the hotel lift and that my baby's pushchair will not fit into the lift... And it very nearly did not. It is the tiniest lift ever.. The chair and me fitted but only just.
The room was clean but small especially for a triple room. Bathroom was ok. There is a fridge so I could buy milk for my daughter. On the first night I asked for milk at the hotel as the supermarkets were already shut and they charged me €3 for a small jug. Not complaining as glad I managed to get milk but was glad to find a supermarket the next day as 1 litre bottle of milk cost only around €1.50. No kettle though. We edit not try the breakfast as heard it was all cold food and I don't like cold breakfast. Also I got a password for the wifi which is fast and I had connection in the room perfectly fine even though we were on the 5th floor.
If you need a cot for babies, they charge a shocking €15 per night.
Location is pretty good. From termini station, it takes around 10mins walk though there is a metro station about 5mins away from the hotel.
Rome is a fantastic city and is best seen on foot. Metro tickets cost €1 per trip or €4 for the day.
I would definitely go back to Rome and possibly to hotel montecarlo if the price is right next time.

Very nice hotel, near Termini (train) station.
We traveled Rome at 22/12/10 and stayed there for 5 nights. The hotel was very clean. I want to say "thanks" to all from reception desk, especialy Michael. They are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The rooms are big enough and clean.
If you want a very nice and clean hotel, with helpful front desk, near center, with low price, then Montecarlo is your choice!

It is a nice hotel, quiet, have the basics. The shower is a bit small but hey, we're on vacation. Rooms are large, we were there for 3 days. Hotel is 15 mins walk away from the train/bus station. Once there you can catch a bus or metro to all attractions which is very easy - dont forget to buy your ticket beforehand. At night we went for a walk in another direction which was really very nice - enjoy the city at night with the lights and many water fountains. The computer at the hotel is good for a museum but still operational, was very handy for quick emails and chat.

Hotel is nice and quiet. Rooms are a bit dark but it is a part of general interior design so it actually looks even interesting and creates the "old mansion" atmosphere.
First thing that surprised me was the size of the elevator. People suffering from claustropfobia - deffinitely ask for a room on lower floors so that you wouldn't need to use the elevator!!! It's aprox 70cm wide and 1m deep. So the first time we used it i was really feeling uncomfortable, but later after walking for 10 hours i felt quite okay riding that "glass coffin" to the 5th floor so you'll get used to it.
Personnel is really nice and polite.
TV has no English channels so be sure to have a laptop with you if you wish to wach a movie in the evening. WiFi is free, just ask administrator for a password, connection is also very good and stable.
In January in the evening it get's rather cold even in Italy but it's no problem as air conditioning keeps the air in the room as warm as you like.
Breakfast is very light, no warm dishes but it is totally sufficient for a day start and the coffee is really good (same as pastries).
If you need to open a bottle of wine go downstairs to the bar( in case if bartender is away just ask administrator to help).
The only thing that i could complain about is the low level of soundproofing - i could hear what is happening in the corridor and they could hear what was happening in our room. But it is Italy, so feel free to be noisy and be ready to hear people talking emotionally and all the time :)
In case of night check-out they offer a transfer to Fiumicino for 55euros, but you can also use the night Cotral bus.
