Outstanding Experience at the Grand Hotel Olympic! I cannot say enough good things about my stay at the Grand Hotel Olympic in Rome. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional — they even checked me in seven hours earlier than the standard check-in time, which was a lifesaver after a long journey. The staff were professional, courteous, and genuinely eager to help with anything I needed. The room itself was spotless, with a spacious layout and a surprisingly large and well-appointed restroom — a real luxury in Rome! The location could not be better: just a five-minute walk to St. Peter’s Square and equally close to the metro (subway), which made getting to all the major sites easy and convenient without worrying about Rome’s notorious traffic. Breakfast each morning was fantastic. For those new to European breakfasts, expect fresh breads, deli meats, and cheeses — but on some days, they even offered a full hot breakfast, which was a wonderful bonus. Everything was fresh and delicious. If (or rather, when) I come back to Rome, I will absolutely stay here again without hesitation. The Grand Hotel Olympic truly made my trip unforgettable.

Overall a decent hotel. The place felt clean and looked as expected from the pictures. The hotel was noisy at the beginning of the night but not enough to keep you from sleeping. Early morning risers and staff were a rude awakening in the mornings. Housekeeping was excellent! However, the restaurant on sight was the worst dining experience I have ever had in my life: the atmosphere of the restaurant was off putting and had an unsettling vibe. There was a woman just watching a tv at an uncomfortable volume for a restaurant while guests were trying to eat. The tables around me all got their food, took one look at it let alone a bite before not touching it at all before the rude waiter came back to get the full plate. The beef pasta I had was something chef boyardee himself canned and threw in the microwave, so edible. My wife’s Carbonera pasta was unedible. When I tell you this was the most disgusting dish I’ve ever tasted let alone look at I was appalled. It was greasy (if you know anything about this dish it should not be greasy in the slightest) and it had a dish soap taste to it behind the undercooked pasta and cheap wine. To top it all off, these two dingy dishes and a bottle of water cost €40. Talk about hateful. Italy was supposed to be the pasta central of the world, tell me how this was the worst pasta I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve eaten my mother in laws cooking.
