We chose this hotel because of its location and reviews, and we were not disappointed. It was one bridge away from the Piazzale Roma which is the convergence point for land transportation.

Things to try in the future: Working better with Best Western head office policy,... more

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Best Western Olympia for 3 nights in Nov 09 and experienced a pleasant stay. The hotel is situated very close to the coach park Piazzale Roma but is far enough back that noise was never a problem and the scenery still beautiful.
