Großer Parmensee

My family and I just spent a week at the Grand Hotel Olympic in Rome. The hotel was situated in the Prati neighborhood; this is a great location for the Vatican, restaurants, subway access and shopping. The hotel is listed as a 4 star; however expect 3 star amenities. We had 2 rooms: my husband and I had a room, queen-sized thin mattress and pillows. The room and bathroom were clean with great housekeeping. However, we only had 2 nightstands and a small armoire to house our belongings. Our adult kids shared a twin room. Bathrooms had shower and bidet, with hairdryer. Body wash is included. Bring your own shampoo. Hot water was plentiful as was the water pressure. Small safe and bar fridge in each room. Air conditioning available throughout. Small elevator and spotty WIFI was available. Wonderful hot and cold buffet breakfast available. Staff was friendly, helpful and assisted with arranging a taxi back to the airport. Even though the furnishings in the room could have been better, I would not be opposed to staying at this hotel in the future!

Excellent breakfast, and staff. Air conditioning was kind of hot.

Property was clean, small breakfast (included) area but there was always a seat. You could also go to their larger hotel Nextdoor if you like but was not necessary. Staff were all friendly, accommodating and extremely helpful. Located within 20-30 minutes walking from all major monuments except Vatican City (50 min walking, 25 by train).
