About Pensione Ottaviano Hostel
The Pensione Ottaviano Hostel is the longest running hostel in Rome. Established in 1956, we have seen generations of backpackers. Since the hostel opened it has been recommended in the main guide books of the world and we suppose there is a reason for that!
The hostel is located in a pleasant, quiet area, only a short walk from St. Peter's Square. From our windows there is a view of the Dome. It is a clean, budget wise place to crash close to the Vatican and several other main sights with several transport options available.
The hostel is easily accessed from Termini Central Station, just a few stops on the Metro (Line A) and from the airport.

Really relaxed atmosphere. Warm welcome and felt very safe.
I was in a 4 person room and was glad to see there were no. bunk beds.
Great location for most novel things. I walked everywhere but the Ottaviano metro station was very close.
Only negative was no air - con and no cooking facilities. Purpose for cheap comfortable beds close to the center of rome. I would recommend highly.
