The Spanish Steps, the Pantheon and Via Condotti are within two-and-a-half kilometres. The Roman Forum and the Colosseum are four kilometres from the hotel. The closest metro stop is Ottaviano.
Hotel Features. Guests enter this former papal palace via a granite stairway leading to the Grand Hotel Olympic-Aurum Hotel's deep-green carpeted lobby, decorated with antiques, fine art, mirrors and African statues. Regency sofas and walnut-toned furniture furnish the lobby. The 24-hour front desk and multilingual concierge staff can answer queries and provide tour assistance.

The hotel has meeting rooms for small groups, a business centre, and complimentary newspapers in the lobby.

There is a garden area and lobby lounge for guest use. A babysitting service can be arranged.

All rooms offer satellite television, minibars, soundproofing and complimentary newspapers. Most are furnished with Regency-striped curtains and green or rust-toned fabrics.

Good location

We chose this hotel because its quieter in the vatican area than elsewhere.(Rome's traffic noise is legendary).We were not disappointed. really well placed for both the Vatican and metro line.Clean, tidy and sufficent.Next door occupants could have been quieter..It also sits in a good shopping area.it cost two euros for the metro to the forum and a nice walk back.Breakfast was a disapointment but hey it was fluids that needed to be taken on board! Excellent fresh fruit market opposite the front door.On the whole Okay and as I say,clean, tidy and beds comfortable.

Disappointed

-service personals are not pleasing. -difficult to sleep because of noise from vehicles outside and from other rooms. sound proofing is terrible. -furnitures looked from the last century. TV was too tiny 14inch. -Breakfast was OK - Location of the hotel is good.

Super location

This was a lovely hotel only minutes away from the Vatican. The area has plenty of restaurants and shops and was only a short walk from the Metro.

would definately go back

very comfortable, rooms are not huge but for the price very reasonable. Best thing about hotel is the closeness to the Vatican, a 5 minute walk, and at the end of the road of the hotel is a high road with wonderful shops, and food market. One problem, breakfast. Very poor, even coffee awful.

A great place to stay

I always worry as I check into a hotel in case the pictures have painted a prettier picture than I am about to find. No worries with this hotel though. We had a family quad room. Thankfully, no lumpy sofa beds! The room and bathroom were spotless and were kept that way throughtout our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was as you would expect with continental - enough to get you going in the morning, however, some fresh fruit or fresh juice would have been good as opposed to tinned. The location of this hotel is great within walking distance of St Peter's and a Metro station a few minutes walk away, and surrounded by lots of nice shops and cafes.
