Grand Hotel Olympic

The room was spacious, bigger than others i have stayed in, in Italy. I love the location, and it’s convenient proximity to Ottaviano Metro Station. The breakfast area was large and fit a lot of people, which was nice because I don’t like to be crammed in a tight spot.

Amazing place to stay. Close to Vatican with great places to eat. Staff are wonderful.

Front desk staff was exceptional. Always attentive and friendly and accommodating! Super clean room and bathroom. It has been updated to be modern, and the fixtures are great from an American perspective. The shower is SMALL. The closet would be great if it had hangers. We opted not to even ask for them. We did get extra towels as we needed, with no issues. They are in the process of renovating still, so hopefully some art will be added at some point. Without it, the hotel seems sterile. Just a person preference, and wouldn't keep us from coming back. Our only disappointment was the breakfast buffet. The attendants never once smiled (even when we tipped), and there were a couple of times the foods were not ready when they opened - making it difficult to eat before tours. I never saw the tables wiped clean throughout service (we were there at varying times). The front desk staff and the location made this a great place for our week in Rome.

Easy to landmarks and transportation

Basic but thats all you need. Could have done with a kettle for tea/coffee but the breakfast was good and the location perfect. Friendly helpful staff. Didn't stop us having a great time in Rome!

All clean and the people the best. The location the best, very close of everything

This hotel was selected for a number of reasons. Firstly its location then facilities and finally price. It delivers on location but that’s it I’m afraid. The hotel is not very big and has a 24 hour reception although the one time we needed to contact them they never answered the phone! Forget room service because they obviously don’t have any. You can’t even get a bottle of water. It is advertised as having a bar and also mini bars in the rooms. This is a real joke because it has neither. The bar is an empty space in a room near reception and the rooms only have a tiny fridge. Other issues we and people in our group experienced : Room keys continually failing to open the door. Other people had the same problem. No hot water for showers on so many occasions that I got the manager to move us to another room. Listening in on conversations I conclude this is a widespread problem as well. The final straw was when they said the electricity would be switched off from 10pm to 6am! No heating, lighting or lifts. This made the hotel very unsafe to be in and we should have been moved out. The authorities need to be informed of this. Noise levels at night are unacceptable. They have groups of schoolchildren staying and noisy people from bars outside. Sleep is optional here. The rooms are dated and while clean feel like a prison cell. The breakfast might be ok but I wouldn’t advise anyone to book here.

The lady that checked me in was super friendly. My room was amazing and it was the perfect location

Okay stay

No bar. Shops close by

Solid

NOT 4 Star worthy - Staff is friendly. Breakfast is good, but No hot water. Hot water is only from 7 to 10 AM. The showers are Not water protected, and after our showers; there was a mess, water all over - We complained to the front desk; they are very nice, but the owners need to fix these issues….

Yes all was really well organised

We had a very comfortable stay at the Grand Hotel Olympic. The room was spacious, and clean. It was very close to the Vatican and to many restaurants. We will stay with them again on our next trip back to Rome.

Room is big. No divider/curtain in the washroom, so water splash everywhere.

Very basic room with no coffee/tea facilities. Shower room flooded into bedroom. only had Italian channels, didn’t go to Rome to watch tv but it’s would have been nice to unwind after a long day sightseeing. Average breakfast.

Rooms were nice, breakfast was good. Staff were friendly. Bed felt a bit wobbly, but still had a full night's sleep each night so won't complain about that. Would use again.

All of the above

Hotel is nice very close to St. Peter Basilica. Room is clean, breakfast is good.

Clean room, kind staff
