Reviews of Ottaviano Hostel

26 February 2010 Simon would recommend this property

Liked: The staff is really nice and helping. The hostel is so close to Vatican City, perfect to be the first in line to get to the Vatican Museum! The atmosphere of the hostel is also awesome, ideal for backpackers. I have absolutely no complaint about this hostel. Recommendable indeed. Also there are nice pizza restaurants nearby, and the location is convenient as it is very close to Ottaviano Metro Station.

11 February 2010 Jessica would recommend this property

Liked: There was free internet, although only one Ethernet cable, and it was somewhat clean. It's a few minutes away from the Vatican and San Pietro's Basilica, so it's nicely placed. I ended up sharing a dorm with a few awesome people, and that was my favorite part of my stay. The staff was okay, not super welcoming or enthusiastic. The hostel doesn't have too much of a personality, and it definitely does feel like a boarding house. Also, you must leave the shower running for at least two minutes to get hot water, but I left the shower on the end running for about four and it never got hot. I've definitely stayed at friendlier, nicer places, but it was fine for the money.

Liked: The location was really good, just meters from S. Pietro Square. The rooms could need a little bit of better lighting. Shower weren't always with hot water.

24 November 2009

Liked: very hard to charge anything as there are four plugs for 40 people and its not very safe as it has left in the lobby where no staff watch over it. bathroom need a clean. internet almost not existent, so slow and only 1 computer. location near to vaitcan but better to be near coliseum. rooms noisy due to road and creaky beds

03 November 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Best possible location - easy as pie to walk to station and sights. Bear in mind, it is more like a pension. Do not expect a hostel. It was fine for me but I would've liked a proper kitchen or even just a kettle.

22 October 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location of the Hostel was great! Just a few minutes away from the Coloseum which you could see from the terrace on top of the building. Not the best hostel around, but def. a cheap stay in Rome.

17 October 2009 Monica would recommend this property

Liked: I liked that there was a microwave and internet available for free. It was in a great location, being on metro line A and close to the vatican as well as plenty of restaurants. The room I stayed in was great as it had 4 well spaced beds that werent bunks and good lockers that could fit a 75l backpack. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bathrooms could use some improvement especially the showers which are kind of gross but apart from that its great value for money and I'd definitely recommend it.

12 October 2009 Sarah would recommend this property

Liked: The location is amazing and right next to the vatican. Its small and inside a building on a busy street so a nice retreat after a long day sightseeing. Staff are lovely and a girl at the desk took extra time to tell me where everything was and how to get there.

09 October 2009

Liked: Horrible place to stay, DO NOT STAY HERE. Would not recommend! Extremely dirty smelly bathrooms even though they lock you out for 3 hours during the day to clean.. what cleaning?? Bunk beds were the worst we slept on our whole six week trip around europe. The duvets smelt like they hadnt been cleaned in years!

20 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The use of free internet is good and its great for getting to the Vatican early to beat the crowds..i think that they should have hooks on the back of the showers though because i had to hang things like my underwear over the door...
