Hotel Oceania, Rome

Room smelled moldy and was not in good shape. Bathroom door was difficult to open due to bottom of the door being swollen from what I presume was water damage. Can't comment on the breakfast because we weren't willing to spend an extra $10 per person per day to try it. Location was good, near bus stops and bus station.

Oceania is in a great location, has clean, comfortable rooms, great beds and amenities. But what makes it great is the staff.The Loretti's have owned this hotel for generations and maintained a high standard of service. We have stayed at Oceania at least 7 times over the last 18 years and have found it to be the highlight of every trip.

Staff is nice but the hotel is run down. **Important** there is a CASH ONLY tax to be paid during check out. No signs posted and we weren't told about it by the hotel. Luckily, we set aside some euros for the unexpected.

Easy walking distance to train station, Coliseum, and more (especially if it isn't blistering hot!) Good value for the money, if a bit dated, but remember this is a two star hotel, so set your expectations accordingly. What exceeds expectations: the service, staff, hospitality--above and beyond! Continental breakfast well worth the small added cost. Thank you.

Good value for location
