The excel montemario's 100, or so, rooms are bright and spacious and feature air conditioning, direct dial telephone, satellite tv, minibar and bathrooms equipped with hairdryer. The hotel has a contemporary feel throughout and in addition to the inviting breakfast room (serving a buffet style american breakfast), the hotel also offers guests the chance to enjoy a quiet drink in the bar or, ideally during the summer months, in the outdoor gardens which offer some great views of the surrounding areas. For reference purposes, the closest metro stations are battistini or cipro-mueso vaticani, but guests can also easily reach downtown rome by bus no. 911 Which stops just a few minutes from the hotel, and continues to the via del corso, just a stone's throw from the famous and iconic spanish steps.
