About

Oscar Rooms

Oscar Rooms is a 3-star guest house on Via Filippo Turati in the Esquilino district, one of Rome's most vibrant and multicultural neighbourhoods. The area is known for its mix of Asian and African restaurants, shops and street food stalls, and the property sits roughly a 10-minute ride from Piazza Venezia.

The guest house keeps things simple: smoke-free rooms with air conditioning, soundproofing, free Wi-Fi and tea and coffee facilities. A shared kitchen adds flexibility for longer stays, while practical touches like a lift, luggage storage and currency exchange make arrival and departure smoother.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable location for transport — Just steps from Termini Station, with a bus stop right outside, it's a great base for arriving by train or hopping on the metro to explore Rome.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Guests consistently mention kind, accommodating staff, including the owner Oscar and team member Tafsir, who go out of their way to help.
  • Great value for money — Rooms start at £30 per night, and guests note that the price matches a clean, comfortable stay with useful amenities.
  • Clean, well-equipped rooms — Air conditioning, heating, cable TV, iron, and tea/coffee facilities appear as recurring positives in guest reviews.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Modest overall rating — With a 7.3 rating from over a thousand reviews, Oscar Rooms is a decent budget option but not a top-scorer in the city.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 22:00, so if you're arriving late you'll need to plan ahead or arrange something with the staff.
  • No pets allowed — The property doesn't accept pets, which could be a dealbreaker for those travelling with a furry companion.
  • No on-site parking — There's no parking listed, so if you're driving into Rome you'll need to look for public options or use the nearby train station.
