"Fantastic place with air conditioning and soundproof windows!"

Situated at the top of Via Carol Alberto, one block off Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore and four blocks south of Termini station, Hotel Montreal is our "sure bet" for a hotel in Rome. It's not exactly cheap, but it is reliable – and popular, so make sure you book well in advance.
The Montreal is part of a residential building and has 27 rooms. They occupy several floors of the building. Decor generally varies by floor, but for most part the rooms are decked out Venetian-style with enticing gold, green, cream, and peach walls and fabrics offset by dark wood furnishings. Ornate gold frames bring a little bit of spice to standard prints in the rooms and around the bathroom mirror. Baths are tiled and have sleek, glass showers.
Half of the Montreal's rooms face the street (each corner room has an extraordinary view of Santa Maria Maggiore), and the other half look down to the hotel's pretty garden. All rooms have air-conditioning and come soundproofed (major bonus!). The downstairs breakfast room is also quite pleasant.

"Would NOT recommend to share your credit card infto on their site!"
Unfortunately, I had a very negative experience with Hotel Montreal, though not exactly with the hotel itself (cause I never happened to stay there), but with the staff. Actually, I booked a room in this hotel on its site using my credit card but then changed my mind and cancelled the booking. However, I was later very disappointed to find out the money for 1 night had been withdrawn from my card, despite the fact that I had cancelled the booking in advance, according to their policy. I did my best trying to get my money back, sent lotsl of angry letters to the staff but the they did nothing and I never received a refund. Therefore, I would highly NOT recommend you to share your credit card information on the hotel's site!
