Grand Hotel Gianicolo, Rome

Great room. Some things in the room we quarky. Such as the bath tub's set up. And the power seemed to be a bit high for the adaptor (not a problem we had at other hotels). The pool was nice, breakfast was good, very attentive. And a great restaurant below (antico Arco).

Great neighborhood up on the Gianicolo hills. Easy walk down to great restaurants. Easy trip to the Vatican, and other famous sites in Rome.

Very pleasant stay! Room service and breakfast were excellent. Both staffed with professional and friendly staff.

The Grand Hotel Gianicolo sits above the center of Rome in a residential neighborhood and is a welcome respite far away from the hordes of tourists. The staff is pleasant and helpful. There are a variety of sizes of rooms. My first, with faulty AC and poor Wi-Fi was large but the second, with great AC and stable Wi-Fi was much smaller yet blissfully cool on a hot day. The room was spotless and well maintained. One of the best features of the hotel is its beautiful pool and garden, great if you need a dup to cool off after sightseeing. They serve a delicious lunch and cooling drinks poolside. The bathroom is well appointed although I found the shower enclosure a little tight and the water fluctuated between scalding hot and freezing without anyway to regulate. The area has a number of great restaurants close by and a few places for a late night drink. Bus service to the center is easy, but less frequent at night so taxis are the better option rather than climbing one of Rome’s seven hills. A good choice for those travelling with children who will want a pool or anyone who wants to stay in a real neighborhood.

The hotel is wonderful in every respect. The one criticism I have is that my room, which was on the fourth floor facing the pool, was very noisy when there were parties with loud sound systems lasting until midnight.
