This was my first time staying in a hostel so I didn't have very high expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by Pensione Ottaviano. Firstly, the location was perfect....right next door to the Vatican, which means if you are up early, it's a 2 minute walk to the front door of the Vatican Museum, and you miss the queue. It is...

I´m glad I only had to stay one night at Pensione Ottaviano. There were no airconditioning or even a ceiling fan, so if you plan a trip to Rome in the summertime, I would not recommend you to stay here, unless you prefer sleeping in an oven. Location wise its ok with the Vatican city close by, but the rest... More

This hostel is close to the Vatican which is good. We had to travel by train to get to other places which wasn't hard. The hostel is clean and convenient. The staff are super friendly and helpful and this is what makes it stand out from the other hostels. Also very trustworthy and helpful staff. I left my mobile phone... More

They really should consider investing in new furniture. They had problems with hot water. Common room serves as a kitchen, as a reception and as a gathering place and it is... More

We stayed three nights and at 25EUR per night it was the cheapest accommodation we could find in Rome. The room was bare but clean with lockers as the actual room door does not have a lock on it. The guys running the place are very friendly and helpful. The showers overfload. Internet is free. Very close to the Vatican. More

This place was okay - the location was very good, although Rome is quite big, so you will have to take the Metro to get around. First complaint about this place is that i emailed in advance to say we would arrive one day late, and we received confirmation from the office, but the office and hostel are in separate... More

My friend and I used HostelWorld.com to book this place. I really reallllly recommend for a few reasons. Firstly, it was def. cheap. None of the places we booked at were more than 20 euros a night. This place in particular was very clean, supplied blankets and pillows and such for you at no extra charge. Offered lockers with locks... More

A great hostel. Friendly staff and excellent location. 2 mins from Vatican so you can get uo early to beat the crowds. More

I really enjoyed my stay in this hostel. It was clean and tidy. The staff and othertravellers were very friendly. I've made some great friends who I'm hoping to see in the future. As I was travelling on my own I was a bit nervous but was made to feel welcome and by the end of the week kept calling... More
