It is a lovely apartment close to both the Vatican and a metro stop. It is also on the first floor. The owner is very kind and helpful and will make some arrangements for you.

Very close to the Vatican and handy for metro to get around. Basic but everything you need and fantastic value for money in an expensive city.

Well placed B&B
Very well placed B&B 2 minutes walk from the metro and the Vatican city. Clean comfortable room and functional kitchen. Area feels safe and we had no issues at night. The breakfast is from the Lemon Tree cafe next door and consists of a pastry and coffee. ( they serve the best gelato here too) would definitely stay again

Ottaviano Augusto was a great choice. If we will go back to Rome we will definitely book this place again! The place is located very close to the Vatican and the metro. Room clean with bathroom and AC, kitchen and fridge outside the room free to use, breakfast included in a nice cafe next to the hotel, and a friendly host.

Great!
Pros: Clean! Newly renovated! Very close to Vatican (7 minute walk)! Friendly and helpful host! Cons: Not really a con, but it's a shared apartment (including 2 bedrooms with separate private baths, but shared kitchen & hallway), so maybe if you have noisy neighbors that could be an issue. We did not hear our neighbors. Overall, I would definitely stay again!!

Stay here - you won't be disappointed
This is a B&B, only a five-minute walk from the Vatican and the Metro. Mauro, the owner, communicated by email ahead of our stay and everything was as promised. Not a fancy hotel, but we were very happy with the cleanliness, the big bathroom, nice neighborhood with lots of restaurants, etc. Would highly recommend.

Glorified Closet
Arrived at B&B and were greeted by the owner, very nice young lady. She showed us the facilities, while exclaiming " you are so big" for the Economy room. I had booked it and did get an Email from the owner that asked if I wanted to upgrade to a bigger room. With the photos I thought it would be fine. Well was I wrong. The room is more a hall way with a bed squeezed in the corner and it is a small bed. I slept for three days squashed against the wall, where there were lots of signs of other faces lingering there. The window opens into the kitchen, so for privacy we kept it closed, so no natural light. One kitchen chair to sit on. Bathroom was nice, but it is showing some wear and tear. Breakfast was okay, latte and a bakery item - cheap and cheerful. Wouldn't return. I guess we got what we paid for - well actually I think we paid far too much.

Ideal location. Bright, clean comfortable room.
We are somewhat new to B&Bs so don't always know what to expect. This was a delightful surprise all around. We were looking for an affordable room in the Vatican area ... Easy for walking and close to the metro as needed for more remote destinations. This b&b delivered both extremely well! We look for a clean comfortable room & recognize that in this district the rooms will be "cozy" in size. Our bedroom and bathroom were cleaned every other day ... And we were more than satisfied!👍😀 Breakfast is not served on site. It comes as a coupon for a pastry and coffee (roman breakfast) at a cafe (Lemongrass) just outside the front door. I must say, this was a delightful highlight for us. The lattes were brilliant ... The pastries Devine ... And, according to my daughter, the gelato we enjoyed after our daily adventure was the "best in Rome". The b&b manager, nor staff, are not on site. They ensured they were there for our arrival, and gave us contact information to get in touch with them should we need them. This was a god-send for us as much of our luggage was lost by the airline en route to Rome. The manager, his family and the staff bent over backwards to ensure someone was at the b&b, available to accept delivery of luggage, while we toured the sights. Otherwise precious days would have been lost - we cannot thank them enough! If you are looking for comfortable lodgings in the heart of the Vatican area, I would recommend this b&b!

Close to Vatican
We were in the small room. We were told when we booked that it was a small room. We certainly did have a small room. A very small room. But we were only in it to shower and sleep so it was no problem. We were out early every morning and back late at night so it was fine. The B&B is otherwise a nice place and very close to the Vatican and trams/buses etc. We were greeted on our arrival and Mauro was very helpful and friendly and gave us lots of info and tips. It was the only time we saw him. He has a hotline on the phone in the hallway to reach him but we had no reason to contact him for any reason during our stay apart from letting him know of our early morning check-out The B&B is an apartment within a block but it's clean and tidy and we were given our own shelf in the fridge which was handy for keeping water cold in a very hot Rome. He also gave us vouchers to use in the coffee shop, two doors away, for breakfast which was extremely basic by UK standards of a pastry and drink of choice. The Lemongrass also has an excellent variety of Gelato which was hard to resist and we visited every evening on our way home for our triple tub. . Would use this B&B again but would maybe go for one of the bigger rooms.

Great place near St. Peter's
We selected this hotel because it's only a few minutes walk from St. Peter's Basilica. The hotel (bed and breakfast) was great and Mauro did a fantastic job to provide the best accommodation possible. There is breakfast included in the hotel price, however, the cafe that provides this breakfast does not open until 8:00 AM. If you have tours scheduled that start early (like we did), we weren't able to have breakfast at that place on any day. The good thing is that you can still use the vouchers at a later time for pastry, coffee or water. It would be better, if the hotel makes a deal with a different breakfast buffet place on the other side of the street called "Rendez-Vous". They open at 7:00 AM

Nice B&B, great location.
It is very close to Vatican City and subway station, easy access to all attractions. Facilities are good enough, if you are not expecting a four star hotel. The owner is helpful. If you just want to have a place to stay while touring Rome, it is an option without losing your shirt.

Unbeatable location
I was traveling around Europe for a couple weeks with two friends and Ottaviano Augusto was one of the best stays we had. The location was perfect- it is right downtown Rome with may shops and stores nearby. It is also right by the Vatican (you could see the Vatican from the outside of the building). We had a three person room and it was quite small but we had our own bathroom and there is a fridge available. Some of the reviews I read before booking mentioned that it can be loud depending the others staying in the hotel (three rooms and a common area) but we did not have any issues whatsoever. We loved the contented breakfast which was a coupon to Lemongrass which is a cute little coffee and gelato shop right beside the hotel. Breakfast included a pastry or piece of fruit and a coffee of your choice. If I go to Rome again I would definitely stay at Ottaviano Augusto as the location could not be beat.

This is not a hotel but apartments so do not expect hotel service there, but you can always call them if needed. Great location 5 min from Vatican and metro station. Room clean, free internet and wi-fi. I will recommend to stay there, good price and you cannot hear the street noise.

The owner was great. He showed up when we said we'd be there. He showed us where to go on a map. We received breakfast vouchers for a place next door. With the voucher i believe you could get a croissant or muffin and a drink. So pretty minimal. They had yogurt you could buy there as well. Very good location for Vatican and St.Peters. Also the metro is very close. Not to many great restaurants close by (at least what we found) we usually ate further away if we were visiting the spanish steps..etc. The room was clean and had good space to it. Our only recommend to the owner is to invest in better beds. Ours was uncomfortable. Thats really the only reason i'm giving it a lower rating.

Good deal in Rome near the Vatican
I rated hotel service less than perfect since there is none. This is a B&B and the owner is not on-site. Nonetheless, Mauro is very prompt in responding to queries and questions before and during our stay. Very very clean room and the bathroom had been updated. The location two blocks from the Vatican and from a Metro station is very convenient and cannot be beat. The free breakfast, coffee + croissant, is a bonus.

The Best Way to Visit the Vatican
The owners are wonderful. They're very friendly and they run an excellent B&B. The room is not luxurious, but it is very clean and perfectly adequate. It's small just like other European rooms, but it has a nice-sized bathroom with a nice-sized shower and a small patio for smokers. The distance to the Vatican is excellent!! Just a short walk (5 minutes maximum) to St. Peter's Square and the Basilica. Also a very short walk to the Ottaviano-San Pietro Metro stop. It may not be luxurious, but it's very clean and the perfect place to stay if you want to visit the Vatican and see the beautiful city of Rome.

Great Room / Great Location
This place was not at all what we expected, but that turns out to be a good thing! If you are looking for a full service hotel - this is not the place for you. This is a very nice apartment, situated in a really great neighborhood near the Vatican. The apartment is divided up into three rooms - we had the smallest room, an although it was a little short on space, it was very well taken care of, very clean, etc. The best news here is the location - it is a short walk to nearly everything, and the neighborhood is full of great sidewalk restaurants, shops, etc. But again, if you are looking for a western style hotel, this is not for you. If you are looking for a great little place to stay that is convenient to all the great sights, to every possible mode of public transportation (cabs, buses, underground railway, etc.), I would highly recommend this place, and quite frankly, I hope I have the chance to stay here again some day.

Everything was great
great place, owner was very nice and helpful, location was awesome, only few blocks from Vatican. price was good, wifi was fast, free breakfast, room was small but it was clean and cozy and nicely renovated. If I ever visit Rome again I won't bother looking at other places unless this place is booked. The only thing was that there was no room service on my first day for some reason, maybe the maid was out or something but it didn't really bother me as i wasn't out on any of the supplies. They can also hook you up with car service to the airport which I did, the driver was on time and I was satisfied.
