I stayed here because my main trip was to the Vatican. It takes 10-15 minutes to walk to the Vatican. There are multiple exits at the Ottaviano metro station, so it's hard to know which way to go to get to your accommodation, so a smartphone navigation system is essential. There are also many cafes and trattorias in the area.
The room is in the historical area of Rome, so it's old, but it's been renovated and the bathroom is cleaned every few days, so it doesn't feel dirty. I think it's to save water, but the shower is very weak, so I think it's inconvenient for women. It takes a long time to finally wash my whole body. The water comes out of the sink with force, but the faucet is fixed for a long time and cannot be moved, so it gets in the way when washing your face, and if you move your face away, the water spills out of the sink. The toilet water button is hard, but it flows properly. The amenities are only shampoo, body shampoo, body cream, and solid soap in small bottles, and there is no toothbrush cup. I recommend bringing a cup. There is no bathtub, only a shower.
I think it's a relatively safe place, but the windows and doors have no soundproofing, so you can hear the surrounding noises well. I wore earplugs when I went to sleep at night because I could hear a lot of noise from the rooms above and below, as well as from the hallway. Thanks to that, I was able to sleep soundly. The price is comparable to a 5-star hotel in Rome, but considering the size, location, and convenience suitable for a family trip, it was a satisfying stay. I would like to use it again. The elevator is like something you see in a movie (although it is very small) and worth seeing.
Just one thing... I was charged 30€ for cleaning before my stay, which was not listed in the price. It was different from the price at the time of booking, and it was not clearly stated anywhere that a cleaning fee would be charged, so I was confused, but I thought it was a Roman way of doing things, so I paid it without complaining, thinking of it as a tip.
