About

Oscar 3

Oscar 3 is a 3-star guest house set in Rome's Esquilino district, on Via Enrico Cialdini. Its position is the main draw, with Termini station and the adjoining streets within easy reach, and the Teatro Ambra Jovinelli a 7-minute walk away. The building has a lift, and the rooms are soundproofed, with air conditioning and flat-screen TVs.

The guest house keeps things simple but practical, with express check-in/check-out, a safe deposit box at reception, 24-hour security, and a luggage room. A barber shop is on site, and the garden area offers a bit of outdoor space. Guest reviews consistently highlight the friendly staff and the comfort of the beds.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Superb location near Termini — A short walk from Roma Termini and the metro, making it easy to explore the city and reach the airport.
  • Genuinely helpful staff — Guests repeatedly mention the friendly and accommodating team, from check-in early to luggage storage to local tips.
  • Comfortable, well-equipped rooms — Soundproofed rooms with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and comfy beds. Some rooms include a seating area or kitchenette.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Mixed value for money — At a rating of 7.6 and a value score of 7.2, this is a decent deal for the location, but you may find better rates elsewhere in Rome.
  • Rooms are on the compact side — While comfortable, some guests found the rooms small. The double is described as 'cosy' rather than spacious.
  • No on-site parking — There's no parking available at the property, so you'll need to rely on public transport or nearby paid garages.
