Well priced convent (50 euro per night) lodgings with great location in Rome, walking distance to colosseum and other roman ruins. The train station is about a five minute walk away and the train (metro) easily takes you to the centre of rome and all other attractions. A number of places to eat nearby. Price per night included breakfast which... more

Simple, clean, quiet, and convenient. Wonderful also having the Church attached to the lodging. No complaints at all. Will certainly look to stay here again next trip to Rome. more

I stayed here with my daughter and sister. The room seemed nice enough but it was very hot. We were on the second floor and opened our windows to get some air circulation. During the night someone climbed in our window and robbed us while we were sleeping. more

Minuses: 1) very basic rooms and beds (could use some interior decor) 2) curfew -- doors locked at 11 p.m. 3) strange... more

Madonna dei Monti also goes by the name of "SANTA SOFIA" (actually the name may not even be "Madonna dei Monti" as this is just the Piazza it is located on).
