leslie

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The location was good, quiet, easy walk to restaurants. The towels and bedding are old and could definitely use an update. My Expedia booking unfortunately took a 2 person booking and made it one. They assured us two beds the next day, which was a matter of providing an extra set of sheets and pulling the beds apart, this never happened. They only house clean between 9-11 and informed us we must be out of room to have it cleaned, we left and came back and it had not been cleaned but they were surprised we asked. Very small toilet paper rolls and very cheap paper. Old thin towels only replaced every 3 days and they seem to wash in vinegar so they smell like vinegar. All in all not a great stay and definitely not as nice as our Florence stay

We stayed at Ottaviano Guest House for six nights; overall we loved our stay. It was certainly very convenient, just a short walk from the Metro and again to Saint Peters Basilica with lots of dining options in the area. Our room looked out over the street and it was a bit noisy late at night and early in the mornings but in the scheme of things it’s a great place to stay.

Location near the Vatican but some distance from Colliseum but easily accessed by Metro. Room spotless with good facilities and good eating places of good value near hotel. Would certainly use again in this expensive city as a great budget choice. Lovely views from window.

Excelente, limpio, la habitación amplia, la ubicación espectacular. No tiene recepción 24 horas pero no hay ningún problema porque tienes las llaves del hotel. Tiene ascensor, está ubicado a dos cuadras del Vaticano. Hay que mejorar la cama auxiliar pero sin duda VOLVEREMOS a Roma y al Ottaviano Guest House.

No amenities. Staff is friendly. Bring your own shampoo and shower gel/soap as there’s is not the best. Wifi is slow. The towels I had were not clean. It’s basically a large apartment with 6 separate large rooms with their own bathrooms. You have a set of a few keys to carry around with you. It’s very close to the Vatican. For the price, you may want to spend a bit more and stay at a hotel.

Nice location but had issues

Nice room close to the Vatican. Only one, well two complaints, 1) didn't know upfront about the city tax levied at checkout and 2) felt rushed for checkout. It was supposed to be at 1100 but the person at the desk was at our door earlier than 0800 saying it was time to check out.

Superb location

This is an excellent base from which to explore the main sights of Rome. I could walk to most of them. I left my room at 7.45am and was walking in the Roman Forum at 8.30 am. The whole sight was deserted. A wonderful experience. I was in St Peter's Basilica which opens at 8.30am at 8.30. So I missed all the long queues and had a much more fulfilling experience. My room had all I needed. A comfortable bed. A large en-suite. A kettle and a fridge. Plus wifi. Vichenso on reception was so polite and helpful. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby and very easy access to the subway.
