About
Ora Guest House - Rome
Ora Guest House sits on the lively Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore in Rione Monti, one of Rome's oldest neighbourhoods. The square is framed by bars and restaurants, and the guest house is an 18-minute walk from the Altar of the Fatherland. For those arriving by train, Termini station is close by, making it a convenient first or last stop in the city.
Rooms are straightforward and functional: each has a private bathroom with a shower, air conditioning, and heating, plus a sitting area, dressing area, and a flat-screen TV. Free Wi-Fi covers the property, and a shuttle service can be arranged. With rates from £31 a night, it's a value-focused option rather than a luxury stay.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Noisy air conditioning — A guest noted the air conditioning unit was noisy during their stay, which could affect light sleepers.
- Breakfast not included — At least one guest assumed breakfast was included but found it wasn't. A take-away breakfast is available, but it's an extra cost.
- Limited on-site facilities — It's a guest house rather than a full hotel – there's no dedicated restaurant beyond a bar downstairs, and the kitchen is shared. This may not suit those expecting a hotel-style stay.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 22:00, which could be restrictive if you arrive late.

7.7Verified guest“The rooms were really impressive – the air conditioning made a big difference in the Roman heat. The private bathroom with shower was a nice touch, and the complimentary toiletries were an unexpected bonus. The flat-screen TV and desk were handy too.”
7.7Verified guest“A great affordable stay with friendly staff – the air conditioning was a lifesaver.”
7.7Verified guest“Set on a lovely square just outside the historic centre, the location is ideal. It's also near Termini station, handy for those arriving by car. The room and bathroom were clean and spacious, the staff friendly and helpful. There's a kitchen with a working fridge and plenty of restaurants nearby. A pleasant stay overall, though the air conditioning was a bit noisy.”
7.7Verified guest“A convenient guest house with an excellent shower.”
7.7Verified guest“We had a spacious room with a small fridge, perfect for our family of four. You can walk to the Colosseum and other main sights from here. There's also a great bar downstairs with reasonably priced food and friendly English-speaking staff. The take-away breakfast and ice creams were a nice extra – good value for money.”
7.7Verified guest“Excellent value for money. The room was spacey enough for our family of four, and the location – a short walk from the main sights – was a big plus.”
