Ok lets start with the fact that this isnt a 'hotel' as such, its on the fourth floor of a residential block, there is no reception or anything like that, and i was really really surprised at first i almost left but im so glad we didnt! The Ottaviano is down a tree lined street, really close to the metro... more

Convenient location, very close to metro, taxi stands, vatican etc. Lots of restaurants and shopping close by. Breakfast was always on time simple but perfect and served by a very nice gentleman. The drinks in the fridge were very affordable and actually cheaper than some places right outside. Angelo the owner welcomed us the first day and gave us some... more

I'd just like to say I had a fantastic time at this hotel. There were no problems at all during our stay here so I don't know what other reviews were complaining about. We stayed in the apartment across the road from the main building and I couldn't fault it. The rooms were cleaned everyday and were spotless. The man... more

Guests should be made aware that any 'standard room' that is booked, is actually in another building, not the building shown and not up to the quality that is shown in the photo's! Be prepared to be moved across the road. Rooms were not ready, and although it was obvious that the previous guests had not checked out, we were... more

On the day we arrived, we were told by Angelo that there was a problem with our bathroom and that we would need to be moved to another hotel across the other side of rome. This was frustrating as we'd booked Ottaviano so that we could be close to the Vatican for when we did our full day tour. Despite... more

Firstly the Le Suite di Via Ottaviano in my opinion isn’t a traditional hotel but more like an apartment. Le Suite di Via Ottaviano is on the 4th floor of a residential block where you get given a set of keys for the front doors to the block and hotel. This to us was not a problem and loved the... more

This is a great little hotel in the heart of Rome. Literally 4 blocks from Metro stop Ottaviano, and just 1 block from the Vatican! We had their best suite, which was on the corner of the building and had a view of the Vatican. While I had heard so many great things about Angelo, I never saw him during... more

The positive - lovely and charming rooms; friendly manager/nice staff; great location-very close to metro, taxi station, Vatican, good ristorantes/pizzerias/cafes nearby; private location If you are looking for a place to stay for reasons listed above, i would probably recommend. This was actually my 2nd stay here and did not experience some of the hiccups listed below during the first... more

We booked this hotel almost 8 months ahead, based on some very favorable reviews on Trip Advisor. I even confirmed our reservation via email a week or so ahead and was assured all was in order. We arrived at the door after taking the metro across town at the expected time, and were then informed there was a "problem with... more
