The Grand Palace Hotel is the perfect hotel for an air of luxury without being over the top. It has all the niceties like doors being opened to make you feel posh, but does not have the intimidating feeling of some 5 star hotels. We were very spoilt by them as soon as we arrived, we were upgraded to a 5th floor room with a balcony as I'd mentioned earlier it was a birthday treat. Then a comlimentary bottle of champagne arrived with 2 glasses - what more could I ask! The hotel is well located to walk to all the sights - we only had to resort to the subway once to reach the Vatican. The buffet breakfast is superb and sets you up for a long days sight-seeing. The staff are friendly and helpful, and to really set this hotel apart it has a lovely basement swimming pool/jacuzzi decorated in a lovely Roman Bath type theme. To summarise, I couldn't rate this hotel highly enough - and I don't praise easily !
Very Happy
by TripAdvisor Member Blackcat5573
Spent a couple of nights here just before Christmas 2004.
The location is great, only five minutes walk from the Spanish steps and fifteen from most of the major sights.
We found the hotel to be very comfortable and clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant are very nicely decorated and the breakfast was very good.
We plan to visit Rome again during 2005 and will be staying in this hotel when we do.
Grand Hotel

Stayed here for 9 nights over Christmas and New Year's 2004/05. We were in Rome for a wedding and the hotel was very accommodating to the group. Rooms are a good size, hotel is very clean, breakfast is great, and the bar/lounge is super. Also the hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rome.
Great position!!
by A TripAdvisor Member
Just come back from a fantastic weekend away in Rome staying at this hotel. The rooms were clean and the bathroom with plenty of towels was adequate. However, the air conditioning was not working and the staff offered no explanation of why not and suggested we open the windows. Thr trouble is that the hotel is on a very busy road (Via Veneto) and Rome does not go to sleep at night!!! Depsite the 10C temperature outside the rooms were airless and very hot and we had to have the windows open at night. It was so noisy (despite being on the 6th floor) we hardly slept.
The breakfast was excellent with a good range of cold and some hot options.
Staff were overall friendly if you tried to speak some Italian. The bar was very expensive - 100 euros for 3 drinks. The minibar was also very expensive so buy your drinks elsewhere!!!
The positioning of the hotel was exellent for all main attractions - we did not need to take public transport at anytime until we returned to the airport.
Would love to return to Rome but probably won't return to this hotel
Perfect location, amazing room...
by TripAdvisor Member IlkaMiz
My husband and I just stayed at the hotel...Service is excellent. The huge room had a big terrace with a gorgeous view, which was a complete surprise. The breakfast is wonderful (with a great terrace if the weather permits). The location is incredible - on Via Veneto just a 10 minute walk to the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and Villa Borghese.
