Rome hotels in Monte Mario

Cons: It's a little away from the city but the hotel shuttle bus runs an excellent service. And besides, if we were in town, the room sizes wouldn't be as decadent.

Cons: bad location far from city center hotel charges you for everything

Cons: the way of dealing with the staff specially concerage and room service they are very bad as 5 star hotels

Cons: If this hotel was anywhere else but in Rome, you would consider it old and run down. The furniture in the guest rooms is ancient and the decore is very tacky. They are trying to go for some "original decore" look, but unless they want to tell me that Julius Caesar stayed there himself it's not working. The furniture in the guest rooms are not "antiques"; they are just old.... Sadly I'm not sure there's much better in Rome. The city seems to get away with never having to remodel, update, or provide any amenities under the disguise of being "authentic." Their "concierge" is useless. Other than showing you a map of the city and telling you how to get to the Vatican, they cannot/will not do anything to actually help you. They are really just untrained and glorified bellmen. Not what you would expect from a purported "luxury" hotel. Finally, they seem to think that using the pool is an optional amenity. There's a charge if you want to sit anywhere by the pool. Chairs and beds are not free. What mutil-star hotel charge to use their pool??? That's the stupidest thing. The result is that everyone is forced to sit in a circle around the edge of the pool or to lay down on the concrete.

Cons: Internet was non-existent to very-slow. We were vacationing and had a very difficult time sending occasional updates to folks back home. The hotel is well-priced but became more expensive than desired after factoring in transit to and from the city and airport. (Staying in the city and paying a bit more for a hotel is a better option if you want to enjoy the city.) No English channels or English subtitles available. Very thin walls, but thankfully, no one in the adjoining room until the last day of our stay. Everything sufficient. Location was a draw-back since we were there to enjoy the city. If you want to countryside retreat, this place my be a good option. Restaurant was overpriced. Other close restaurants but walking is dangerous as a result of no sidewalk and crazy Roman drivers!

Cons: We were 3 persons and the reservation showed that, and the room had only 1 bed, we complaint and they put an extra bed that they wanted 200 euros more for that. We had ti fight to get that removed. The air conditioning broke in one night and we had to sleep with no air in Summer. Its a 4 star hotel and do not have any irons for the clothes. The WIFI was poor and unreliable. The water in the shower jumped from warm to cold with out control.
