St. Peter's Basilica Tours and Activities

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.

Truly exceptional! I was so surprised this level of luxury was available so close to the airport. 10/10 would stay again. Bathrooms were very clean and stunning, the bedrooms and beds themselves were very comfortable. Big French windows that open and helpful staff. No notes!

Location is great, walking distance to the main attractions such as the Spanish Steps, Fontana de Trevi, Pantheon, Campo di Fiori, and even Trastevere neighborhood. Our room was very spacious and breakfast was great! We ordered different types of croissants, cold cuts, cheese slices, cappuccino, and orange juice for breakfast and they serve it as room service from 8-10:30am. We left early for day trips for three days so we had to get breakfast on our own those days. There's no one at the front desk after 7pm but we didn't need anything after that so we were fine. We used codes to get in and out of the building property and the neighborhood is very safe since it's in Via del Corso. We had housekeeping everyday and they were great! Property is clean and close to everything. We used Whatsup app to communicate with the front desk when we needed help while we were out and about in the city and they were very helpful and responsive.
