Bottom Line

The 24-room, family-run
Hotel Oceania is a budget hotel with an excellent location in the heart of Rome, within walking distance of top sights like the Trevi Fountain, restaurants, and shops, as well as public transportation. Rooms
are basic and functional, with just a splash of character and amenities that include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and
mini-fridges; however, bathrooms only have showers (no tubs) and guests mention
flooding and draining are issues. A good breakfast is included and there is a shady, plant-lined outdoor terrace with seating and interior
courtyard views.

Scene

Quaint, family-run hotel with a friendly atmosphere and antique furnishings

Family-run since 1975, this intimate, bed-and-breakfast style budget hotel occupies the third floor of a 19th-century building. Chandeliers and antique furniture
decorate the common areas. The lobby is small yet cozy, with a small seating
area, red-striped wallpaper, a flat-screen TV, and vintage
furniture, while the front desk is a wood writing desk in a small room decorated with
yellow wallpaper and red patterned carpet. The breakfast room is similarly quaint, with
floral wallpaper, an antique chandelier, white tablecloths, and vintage photos on
the walls. The breakfast room is also home to a vintage wood-and-stainless-steel bar, serving coffee and stronger drinks. Outside, on the terrace, there are metal chairs and tables, in addition to
period light fixtures, potted, plants, and lovely views of the interior
courtyard.

Location

Prime central location next to the Piazza della Repubblica

The Hotel Oceania is in the
center of Rome, with the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, Piazza Barberini,
Quirinal Palace, and the Rome Opera House all within walking distance. The Piazza della Repubblica is just around the corner, and the Forum, National Gallery of Ancient Art, and Roma Termini train station are all nearby. Public transportation is convenient and abundant, and the area is filled with good restaurants and shops. Ciampino
Airport is around a 30-minute drive (one-hour train ride), as is Leonardo
da Vinci International Airport (Fiumicino).

Rooms

Clean, homey, and basic in style, with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and air-conditioning

Single, Double, and Triple Rooms are available at the clean and affordable Hotel Oceania; all are simply decorated, but the crown moldings, high ceilings, and tan carpeting guarantee that they are not totally without style. Blue bedspreads and curtains
complement yellow wallpaper, and the wood furnishings have a vague antique look to them. Flat-screen TVs sit on
desks and all rooms are air-conditioned; all also have a mini-fridge. Updated bathrooms are decorated in orange
and blue tile, and have white sinks and bright lighting. Hairdryers and Damana
toiletries are provided, but there are only small showers available, no tubs. It's worth noting that some guests complain that the shower drains flood the bathroom or
drain slowly.

Features

Free breakfast and free Wi-Fi; no on-site parking

The free daily breakfast includes coffee, cereal, pastries, yogurt, fruit, cakes, and juice, and is generally considered quite good. Even though there is no restaurant, room service is available. The welcoming staff offers a range of concierge services. There's a small common room where guests can lounge, as well as an outdoor terrace. Wi-Fi is free, but can be spotty. There is no on-site parking.
