We were really pleased with our room at Pallazzo Olivia where we stayed for 4 nights late October. The room 104 was large with a fabulous beamed ceiling, large shower and very comfortable bed. The closeness to Piazza Navona was great as this is one of our favourite places. We found check in easy and both ladies we met were friendly and extremely helpful. They organised our taxi back to the airport which cost 45 euros. The taxi was on time and very efficient. We had a fridge, tea coffee making facilities, with a little shared kitchen area just outside our door. The room also had a safe. We visit Rome a lot as our daughter lives there and we will definitely book this place again. You have so many lovely restaurants so close by. The weather was fab, although it rained one night, but there are umbrellas there for you too. One tip, as you come out of the main door go left down the alley then turn right, the first restaurant does beautiful cheese filled gnocchi with truffle and the wild boar ragu is delicious too.

We wanted to stay somewhere close to the historic center of Rome without spending a fortune. Palazzo Olivia is between Piazza Navona and Campo de Fiori. The Vatican, Pantheon and other sights were with in walking distance. Bus 64 and the taxi stand were very close We had a junior suite, so had a small kitchenette for morning meals and keeping out drinks cool. Since it is apartments rather than a standard hotel, you do need to prearrange check in, if you are arriving outside the normal office hours. We were able to drop our bags, and then they called us when our room was ready. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We would stay here again with no hesitation!

Enjoyed our stay, clean with everything we needed and 150m from Piazza Navona, many restaurants within very easy walking distances. Its curb appeal is poor, a small dark alleyway but the room and building were very pleasant. Wifi is a little weak in bedroom but very good in Kitchen area. Alleyway can be a noisy at night but not bothersome. Reception is a bit hit or miss for timing but friendly and pleasant when they are in.

We had stayed at Palazzo Olivia five years ago and found its location very convenient for exploring Rome. Although our room was comfortable for our three night stay, it was not particularly clean with dust on the floor and dull bathroom tiles. We also had to request more teabags and toilet paper as these were not replenished daily. We had an unfortunate incident when our key to the door from the street broke in the keyhole after 9 at night and we were abruptly told by the manager and hung up on that we would have to wait outside until other returning guests could let us in. We were lucky as some did come along shortly afterwards but I hate to think what might have happened otherwise. Make sure you arrive while management is still there as we encountered guests newly arrived in the country who had been told the same thing the next night and we let them in. Would not recommend the manager as he was very rude and abrupt in our dealings with him. Irene, who met us, endeavoured to be helpful.

We loved our apartment at Palazzo Olivia! From the moment we booked it, Francesco and his team were extremely helpful in answering our questions and confirming arrangements. We stayed for four nights over the New Year period and decided to upgrade to an apartment and the extra space was great. Francesco was very welcoming when we arrived and we immediately felt at home. We loved the character of the building and felt like we were living like locals rather than in a generic hotel. The furnishings were modern and our balcony had a great little view over the roof tops. When the windows were open, we could hear noise from the streets but it was atmospheric rather than annoying. Housekeeping were great and our rooms was always refreshed and very neat and clean. The location was amazing and just a (very) short walk to Campo de Fiori’, Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. In addition, the Vatican City, Colosseum, Roman Forum and Trevi Fountain were also within walking distance. At the end of the street are some fantastic restaurants, tucked away in a charming little area. We absolutely loved our apartment and stay and would definitely book again! It really is a little gem in Rome.

We staid here for 3 nights and it was nice during the business days. We did not hear anything or anyone, but when the weekend arrived we could hear everything from the other rooms and floors. Beds and pillows are not very cofortable. The location is the best if this place. For what we paid it was really good! It was a pity that the rooms were not soundproof

No comment about location. But very noisy. Not only because the other people didn't know how to behave, housekeeping never cared about the comfort of the guests and were so noisy chattering on the corridors. This is an old building and any small sound echoes along the corridors. We didn't have the chance to get the room we saw on internet during booking. The room was facing the back doors of two restaurants where waiters were slamming doors, making noise etc. Hotel management should have warned us about this or should have taken necessary precautions previously. Room doors were made of light wood. Closing the door was giving slamming sound effect. In fact everybody was slamming to close the door. A problem could be solved in 2 hrs (entire hotel) by a good carpenter. The desk should warn the guests about such issues. Writing this on a welcome paper is not enough. If you want some silence and a good rest after a long walking day in Rome, find yourself a hotel, not this kind of room from hell. ( I am a pro tourguide for 20 years and stayed hundreds of hotels around the world. This hotel was my biggest regret)

When I got in late at night, the taxi I took from the Termini station stopped at the entrance of an alley, and the driver said he couldn't go in, but the entrance was just a few feet away. At night it looked like a rundown alley. Later, In the light of the morning, I saw that it was actually a great location in the middle of antique locations that are scattered around the center of Rome, with great restaurants and convenient markets very close by. It's a few minutes walk away from the Pantheon, a few more minutes to the Trevi fountain. Walking to the Forum may take you about 30 minutes, but who says you can't make multiple stops for gelato, coffee and pastries along the way? That's what surprised me,so many amazing gelato places all nearby, and incredible coffee with a pastry for under 3 euros. The room itself was wonderful. I was delighted from the moment I entered, sicne it looks nothing like a typical, anonymous hotel room. The bed was in fact two singles pushed together, but very comfortable. Sparse looking room but wonderful with high ceilings. Only gripe I have is that in the mornings there was always someone thumping around, loud enough to wake one up when one would have liked an extra hour of sleep. Never figured out if it was outside the building, or inside. They have someone available at the front desk only from 2-7pm, but they'll work out how to buzz you in for check-in outside those hours. And they'll keep your bags for you. They offer a 45 euro service from the airport. Worth it if you're 2 or more people, it's the same price as official taxis. Or, you can take the Leonardo express to Termini, and then a taxi. A bus is also doable, but not recommended because it gets so crowded. Internet was spotty in my room, and not many channels on tv. But are you really going to be watching much tv in the middle of Rome?

Young couple from NI 23 & 25 We stayed in the hotel for 3 nights at the start of September. The hotel is located on a side street just off the busy main road. The location could not have been anymore perfect! It is central to all of the main attractions being just a 20 minute walk from places such as the Colosseum, the Vatican and Trevi Fountain. There is also a bus stop on the main road just outside the hotel which takes you directly to and from Termini train station in just 20 minutes - Tickets are purchased at the shop directly beside the street the hotel is on. When we arrived at the hotel we were warmly welcomed by the lady who was working at reception. We were provided with an information pack, giving details of the room and a map of the local area, which we found very helpful. The room, including the bathroom and shower was very spacious. There was also a kettle and various types of tea and coffee provided. The bed was a good size and very comfortable, enabling a good nights sleep! Being an old building however noise from neighbouring rooms, both at either side of ours and above was very loud at times. Furniture being moved and even the tv could be heard very clearly. Our stay was pretty faultless until the last night when there was a problem with our toilet, which not only created a lot of noise but also resulted in a poor nights sleep. Having rang the manager we were told he could not leave his house as it was 10pm. Although he made another phonecall and suggested a way we could 'fix' the problem, it was not successful. Having a worker who was on call or even in the building for when issues like this arise would be helpful, as the manager told us it was "a common problem".

As a family of 4 we stayed here on our arrival! So so cute! Location right near some amazing restaurants as well as coffee shops for morning coffee/scrolls/pastries! Quiet and comfortable. Small shower but did the job!! Was a great location as we were able to walk all over Rome, from the Colosseum to the Trevi Fountain to the Spanish Steps! Will come back no problems
