7.2/10 Good! (1,005 reviews)

Grand Olympic Hotel has been seen to have been recently refurbished/updated. The young lady on check in was very helpful and we had very interaction with any other staff but housekeeping was always done. The only thing letting the hotel down is that the rooms still need attention. Doorframes coming away, decoration in bathroom not great and looks to be suffering with damp also the shower leaks and at one point the handle was loose. However TV was useful to pass the time after walks and before dinner and the room was basic but “did the job”. Unsure if would return here unless it was significantly updated.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (338 reviews)

Location is great walkable to most attractions, but no access with a car. Rooms were tiny and bed was uncomfortable for me. Breakfast was the same every day and it felt like the food was not fresh, fruits over ripe, salami smelled old and even pastries were not freshly baked but most likely were packaged goods from supermarket.

The line-ups to get in are ridiculous. But the new sculpture in the square, Angels Unawares, is exceptionally moving!!! Definitely glad we saw that!!!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Thousands of chairs set up in the Piazza really take away from the experience. Also viewing of interior has been severely limited since I was there last.

5/5 - Excellent

Recommend going with guide to many of the more significant sights like Forum, Colosseum and Vatican. They are a wealth of information and provide a much better understanding and context to what you are looking at.

Make sure to cover your shoulders and knees. However, we noticed that the guards were less strict when we visited in the hot summer. They seem to request some people to cover up more, and let others go buy who barely met the dress code. Check it out if you go to the Vatican and are interested in seeing more.

okay BIG TIP.....if you want to skip the crazy long lines and not pay for the Skip the line tickets....well on Sunday every church is open for mass and it is free. Go half an hour before mass starts and go through security check and enjoy the free admission. There is no pictures taking during mass but you are welcome to visit the church after mass. You don't have to be a card carrying catholic to attend but with all religious institutions just be respectful. Woman are not allowed into the church at anytime with bare shoulders or short shorts. A piece of cloth (shawl) can be used to cover up.

4/5 - Good

Visit later during the day to avoid lesser crowds. Scalpers, hasslers as you move your wayto the entrancď
