Hotel Oceania

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


The worn rooms and lack of modern amenities here are problematic, especially considering the relatively high rates. Nevertheless, the welcome is reliably warm. Light sleepers will find the lack of double-glazing problematic, and the old carpet and furniture needs to be replaced. Breakfast costs €10.
