Valaam Monastery

My family and I had a super stay at the Grand Hotel Olympic in April 2025. We were travelling with our 8 and 4 year olds and they both had an excellent stay. The hotel is in a great location, minutes from the Vatican, but feels much quieter compared to many other areas of the city. It only takes about 20 minutes to walk to the heart of the city. Our room was very good, with a spacious bathroom and decent wifi signal to keep the little people busy when back from a busy day of sightseeing. The breakfast was a welcome perk, with it being a great way to start the day with plenty of options available. A great option for families wanting to experience Rome! Highly recommend.

Good location and friendly staff. Although this didn’t bother me, it could be a bit noisy at night due to some night walkers on the street.

Nice little old school hotel. Staff was great, very small lobby, but you only use that during check in and out. Rooms were very nice. I believe there was a recent reno, and it shows. Not a stroller friendly hotel. Old fashioned very small elevator, loved it, but can't fit a stroller. We were carrying it up and down flights of stairs. It was fine but just be aware. I would recommend this place. If you are a walker, which we are, you will be able to walk to all the important places to see.
