“Perfect Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

ROOMS: Clean, comfortable beds, comfortable sized room
BATHROOM: Very small ie: You have to sit on the toilet sideways to fit around the sink that extends over the toilet? weird design. And the shower is tiny too. One person in the bathroom at a time.
LOCATION: Absolutely Perfect location! You can walk to all the sights, and the metro is about a 5 min walk. The area the Hotel is in, is very safe, I was happy to walk the streets on my own.
SERVICE: Only found one guy that was rude, unhelpful and not accommodating. however everyone else was really lovely.

Overall, We are not fussy travellers and we were out sight seeing everyday, so really just needed a place to sleep... So for the Location, Price and the rooms... this place was perfect for us.

However, if you are wanting something with the 'frills' and lots of space etc... maybe look elsewhere.

Room Tip: Make sure to Request a high floor. We stayed on the first floor&were woken up multiple times to...

“It was very good, we definitely will be back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

It is excellently situated - very easy to get to by metro, in the historical center of city, 100 metres from piazza del poppolo. Rooms are tiny, but clean and well equipped, staff very friendly. They gave us breakfast voucher for the next door bar - it cost 4 euros and was very tasty. One minor flaw - wi-fi signal was quite weak, but they permitted us to use their computer to chek-in for our flight:-)

“Lovely Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

people found this review helpful

Lokated in an atmosphere side street of Via Di Ripetta and mere steps from Piazza del Poppolo (my favourite one in Rome), Okapi Rooms offers accomodation in excellent prices. The rooms are rather small but the beds are surprisingly comfortable! No amenities in the bathrooms.

“Clean, convenient, good value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2011

Located (for me) at the north border of the sightseeing region of Rome. Most of the must see places in Rome are within walking distance. A safe and relatively quiet location. Yet, one should keep the expectations limited for this hotel. In fact it is not a hotel but simply rooms with bed and bathroom. But all were clean. For the ones that want to spend most of their time outside the hotel (or room) this place is a good value for money.
