Oscar 2 is a guest house in the centre of Rome, 250 metres from Termini Station and 450 metres from the Repubblica – Teatro dell’Opera Metro Station. The property is entirely non-smoking and features a garden and free WiFi for all guests.
The four room types available, ranging from 10 to 14 square metres, are designed for couples or small groups: they all have a private bathroom with a bathtub, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a coffee machine and city views. One of the triple rooms stands out for its balcony overlooking the city, a rare bonus in such a central area.
The location is the property’s main strength: couples rate it 9.1, and the Esquilino neighbourhood, lively with bars and restaurants just steps from the entrance, allows guests to walk to Piazza della Repubblica, the National Roman Museum and, in just over a kilometre, the Trevi Fountain. Roma Termini, with connections to the whole city and the airports, is only 250 metres away.
Oscar 2 offers four room types, all with a private bathroom featuring a bathtub, shower, bidet and courtesy set, plus air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and a coffee machine: details designed to make even a short stay in the heart of Rome practical. Room sizes range from 10 to 14 square metres, with an extra-large double bed or, in the triple rooms, an additional single bed for a third guest.
The two Triple Rooms with Private Bathroom share the same layout, but only one of the two also offers a balcony with city views, while the Deluxe Double Room and the Deluxe Queen Room, both more compact, focus on essential furnishings with tiled floors and city views, ideal for those looking for a simple, affordable base to explore the capital.
This 14-square-metre triple room is the only one in the property with a balcony offering city views, a distinctive feature that is rare in such a central area. Air-conditioned and soundproofed, it has a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a private bathroom with a bathtub and a coffee machine, plus enough space to accommodate three people thanks to the single bed added to the extra-large double.
Identical in size and capacity to the previous room, this triple room does not have a balcony but keeps the same features: a private bathroom with bathtub and bidet, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and coffee machine, with city views from the windows. A practical choice for those who don’t need outdoor space but still want a comfortable triple near Termini.
More compact than the triples, this 10-square-metre double room is designed for two people and features a private bathroom with bathtub, bidet and courtesy set, air conditioning and tiled floors. A tea and coffee set and a wardrobe complete an essential yet functional space, with city views.
Very similar to the Deluxe Double Room in size and bed configuration, this Queen room differs in its air-conditioned interiors and tiled-floor furnishings designed for those looking for a simple yet tidy space, with a private bathroom featuring a bathtub and shower and city views from the window.
Oscar 2 offers an inner garden, daily housekeeping and free WiFi throughout the property, along with a tour desk useful for arranging visits and activities in the capital. The on-site convenience store and coffee shop with a tea and coffee machine allow guests to handle small purchases and informal breakfasts independently, while security is ensured 24 hours a day and through personal key access.
All rooms are non-smoking and feature air conditioning, heating and, in several cases, soundproofing, along with a private bathroom with bathtub or shower, a hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. A refrigerator, an electric kettle and a tea and coffee set complete the amenities, along with the flat-screen TV with satellite channels and streaming services available in every room.
Oscar 2 is located in the Esquilino neighbourhood, just steps from Termini Station, in one of the busiest and best-connected areas of Rome. The street, Via Principe Amedeo, is lined with bars, restaurants and small shops open late, and the proximity to the station keeps the area lively at all hours, while still being just a few minutes’ walk from quieter spots such as the Ninfeo Park and Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II.
Connections to the rest of the city are among the area’s strengths: Roma Termini Metro Station and the Repubblica – Teatro dell’Opera Metro Station are both about 250-450 metres away, while Roma Termini Station, 250 metres away, offers regional and high-speed trains as well as a direct connection to Fiumicino Airport, 20 km away. Ciampino Airport is about 12 km away. Also within easy reach, 300-700 metres away, are the National Roman Museum, the Moses Fountain and Piazza della Repubblica.
From here, some of the city’s most famous attractions are easily reached on foot or by metro: the Colosseum and the Domus Aurea are about 1.1 km away, the Trevi Fountain 1.3 km away and Piazza Barberini 1 km away. In winter, the neighbourhood is perfect for strolling among the Christmas markets in Piazza Vittorio, while in spring and summer the Imperial Forums and the Palatine Hill, a little further away, remain open with extended hours until late afternoon.
