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.

Good location and friendly staff. Although this didn’t bother me, it could be a bit noisy at night due to some night walkers on the street.

Die Lage ist hervorragend. Zum Hotel: ich würde darauf bestehen ein Zimmer nach vorne zu haben und nach hinten ab dem 5. Stock. Alles dadrunter nach hinten raus ist extrem schwierig durch die starke Lärmbelästigung der Geräte im Hinterhof und den starken Essensgeruch. Das Personal ist an sich solide, ein Mitarbeiter war allerdings extrem unfreundlich und hat sich häufig nicht mal die Mühe gemacht seine AirPods aus dem Ohr zu nehmen, hochzusehen und hallo zu sagen. Für einen New York Aufenthalt würde ich das Hotel unter angegebenen Bedingungen mit der zimmersusrichtung allerdings auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Dazu gibt es noch eine kleine unspektakuläre rooftop von der man die Skyline sowohl von Lower- als auch Upper Manhatten gut sehen kann.

I didnt like that the shower drained very slowly and our room was close to the elevator, so it gets noisy most times

Nice little old school hotel. Staff was great, very small lobby, but you only use that during check in and out. Rooms were very nice. I believe there was a recent reno, and it shows. Not a stroller friendly hotel. Old fashioned very small elevator, loved it, but can't fit a stroller. We were carrying it up and down flights of stairs. It was fine but just be aware. I would recommend this place. If you are a walker, which we are, you will be able to walk to all the important places to see.
