There is nothing Grand about the Grand Hotel Beverly Hills. We just spent 3 nights there and were very disappointed with the hotel location and staff. First of all, the hotel is at least a 25 minute walk from any of the attractions. We bought the hop on hop off bus tour and the closest stop was 30 minutes away (walking fast) and at a bus stop that rarely was picked up by the tour bus. After waiting at this stop with several others for over 30 minutes, we were forced to trec another 20 minutes to a stop closer in town (this happened twice). Just to get going on the hop on hop off tour was exhausting! Also, there are very few restaurants and dining options within walking distance to the hotel. The streets around the hotel are very sparse with people at night and filled with grafiti and trash.
If I were going to Rome again, I would look at the bus route (we did Rome Open Tour) and find a hotel on or near the bus route - these are the best locations. This hotel had nice rooms and a decent breakfast, but there is a reason it is well priced.
Also, a few other notes - we tried to change hotels the first day because of the distance and tried to switch to another hotel within the same company - we were willing to pay the price difference. We were told there was a steep penalty for any change. Doesn't make sense if its the same company? The hotel staff seemed to not care whether we were happy or not. Also the wireless interernet is .35 (Euro) per minute! We have been traveling all over Europe and free wireless internet has been in all the hotels - this was a shocker. Hope this review helps!
