Pensione Ottaviano Hostel Reviews

The perfect place if you want to meet amazing guys from the whole world. Clean and well located.

This is a place to rest your gear and your head for the night. With a million things to do in the city, this hostel is no-frills but absolutely adequate for the backpacker on a budget. Staff are friendly and helpful. The fridge, microwave, and electric kettle are nice to have as is the tea. Given the location and costs of other options around, I was very happy there.

- Dirty toilets, no toilet paper in the WC. - Awful bunk beds, very uncomfortable. - Staff never there when you need them.

All very basic. Nice location. Great staff.

The guy at the front desk was very friendly and helpful and the hostel was located next the Vatican, so the location was great. Otherwise there's nothing that makes this hostel stand out from the crowd. The lockout in the afternoon was frustrating, especially since when we returned at 2.30 it didn't seem that much had been done.

This was a great hostel, nice that you had your own key into the building and it had a really nice location. The price wasn´t too high, especially for a big city like Rome.

The location is very good, but the hostel itself is very dirty especially the bathroom. A lot of stuff (chairs, bathroom doors, etc.) were broken. I also missed the outlets to charge things in the bedroom.

The staff was particularly helpful.

First: look at the doorway for the hostel buzzer - there isn't a big sign out front, but it really really is located at 6 Via Ottaviano. It's not a fancy place - just one floor - and while there's a minifridge and a microwave, there isn't much in the way of free food (but, you're in ROME! Eat out!). However, the staff are quite friendly, and it's hard to beat the location. Bring your own lock for a locker, but I felt my stuff was v. secure without one. I'd stay here again.

Good location, near by the metro and the Vatican, and with a helpful staff. But was very dirty, with bad beds and needing-a-good-scrub bathrooms. I couldnt take a shower there.

PRO'S - location, large rooms, no bunk beds, large lockers, friendly staff. My room had a FULL ensuite! CON'S - no kitchen. the ensuite is very small, main bathroom however was a good size. Lockout hours. Would stay here again and would recommend to friends.

Limited outlets in room for charging things

A hostel with helpful staff who create a good atmosphere. The facilities are lacking somewhat as there is no kitchen

Lots of broken stuff-- light fixtures, outlets, shower doors, beds, lockers, etc.

Very helpful staff, and the entire hostel is very clean. The location is the best as far as access to main attractions. Kitchen area is very limited, but other than that this is a great hostel.
