We stayed at the Grand Hotel Olympic Aurum for 2 nights. It was a good hotel if a bit bog standard compared to the other hotels we had stayed in. The staff were polite and courteous. We had a quadruple room which was a good size even for 2 adults and 2 young teenagers. The hotel had the best air conditioning out of the all the hotels we stayed in in Italy controlled rather like the central heating thermostat back home in England. The beds were very clean and comfortable. The decor and style of the hotel were nothing special though. You could have been in any city or country even.

One of the best things during our stay was the free parking you get at the weekend. We had expected Rome to be full of crazy cars and full of people. However it was August Bank holiday and apparently the Romans had left the city to the seaside which made the city very pleasant and easy to drive in. We could park just outside our hotel which made it very convenient. It is a short walk from the Vatican. I didn't see many restaurants close by during our stay though. However, it is just as nice going somewhere busy to eat such as the Piazza Nuovena as there's such a nice atmosphere and vibe.

Overall, a good value for money hotel in a good location away from the crowds.

  • Liked — The aircondtioning and location.
  • Disliked — The lack of style and decor.

This is a very handy hotel for sightseeing, open top bus stop round the corner, Vatican at the end of street off square 5 minutes walk. Rooms not quite as grand as photos a bit shabby rooms quite small but clean and plenty hot water for showers.
Breakfast ok cereal ,cheese,bread,yoghurt,boiled eggs,fruit juice coffee,tea etc. Would probably stay here again.

I have stayed here a couple of times before, so that shows that I like this hotel. I like the location as it is on a great street in rome and there are some fantastic places to eat close by. The hotel is reasonably priced for central rome and the rooms are comfortable - but I do always book a superior, which gives you more space. I have to say this time I noticed some nice new touches in the room (electric blinds and new fridge). The bathrooms are always on the small side in rome, but this one was well proportioned with a large shower. The cleaners do a wonderful job and the room was spotless as always. Breakfast is basic bread, cheese, cereal etc.

You can do a lot worse than stay here.

this hotel is reasonably priced and in a very good location . the rooms are clean and comfortable with air conditioning . the staff were friendly and very helpful. Only slight drawback the hotel only offers continental breakfast which my children did not find to their taste, this was also the only meal served in the restaurant .

I was seriously worried when I looked up reviews after having booked this hotel but luckily my boyfriend and I were very pleasantly suprised. While it may not be up to 4 star standard as some of the other reviews have stated - our room was spacious, clean and aside from lepoard print head-board the decor was very tasteful.

The only downside was that the bolier broke and we had no hot water for the 1st few hours of our stay - however this was very quickly resolved by polite hotel staff who kept us well informed. When we slept in one morning the breakfast room was even opened especially for us.

All in all a very good place and execellent location for visiting Rome
