Grand Hotel Gianicolo

Staff were nice, they speak fairly good english. Free breakfast. Strong italian coffee. Fresh fruits. Right around corner of Trastevere. Decent size pool but its freezing even on summer months - would be great if it was temp controlled.

Hotel is up the hill, so if you intend to stroll around, going back is a little challenge. Glass shower door shattered 2nd night!! One night, AC malfunctioned we had to open windows to get some cool breeze. That was really a let down

Location was great...walking distance to many excellent restaurants in the Trestavere area. Bus stop to central Rome was 2 blocks away. Breakfast was excellent & so was the staff, offering espresso & other special coffees.

Room was small for 2 people. Single beds we’re very close together. Not much room to move around. We had a room at the front of the hotel, so very noisy in the morning.

Staff was great, and they were very helpful in showing how to navigate around the city. Close to bus stops and a great restaurant. The 2nd day we were there we walked home from Vatican. About min walk. It was an uphill hike but doable.

Walls are very thin. Our first night there I was woken up to the people above us making wild love. (Not kidding, passionate yelling, bed bouncing, and headboard banging.) In retrospect, I should have called the front desk to complain, but I did not.

Nice room- very clean and comfortable!

Did not have reservation when we arrived. Was found in the morning.

We got the third floor we nice view!

Not coments.

Wonderful staff!!Clean and comfortable rooms and beds, good showers and bathrooms. Excellent breakfast. Convenient location, good bar and restaurants nearby. Easy walk to great views of Rome and the Vatican.

Very clean, well maintained and nice staff. Excellent location for our stay.

Beautiful and well maintained property. The room was comfortable and the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The room and public areas in the hotel were spotless. The breakfast buffet included a wide range of delicious pastries, cheeses, meats, eggs, juices, coffee and tea.

The hotel was great. The breakfast and property were wonderful. The walk to town was really nice. We had to taxi back because it's quite a steep walk.

Unfortunately, the room was very loud at night. It was closer to a busy road than I was hoping. And the neighbor across the street had large dogs that barked a lot!

The pool and its surround are lovely.

The rooms are very loud - could hear other guests all night long (walking, opening doors, etc )

The hotel is beautiful. Clean, friendly and helpful staff. I got in before my room was ready, and I was allowed to store my bag. The breakfast area is lovely with a large variety of foods. The room itself had everything I wanted. The location is a bit out of the way, but close to Janiculum Hill which was a bonus.

Good breakfast.

Lots of things in the room were broken. Such as the light and plug in fixture frames. Needs new tv and fridge.

Paolo and Karim were amazing! The hotel , grounds and pool were amazing. We had dinner poolside and it was exceptional. They served breakfast but unfortunately we weren't able to eat it as we had plans early every morning. Loved the Ribeye! The front desk staff were very accommodating and ordered us taxis. We were able to leave our luggage and do the early Vatican tour then come back for them. If you go downtown Trastevere be prepared for the long uphill walk home. We took a taxi which was easy to obtain at the taxi stand. You don't want to miss this gem! Thank you so much!

The location of the property was great. The facilities (building, pool and outdoors) were in excellent condition. I would also like to highlight that the breakfast was diverse and of very good quality (non of those powdered scrambled eggs)

The AC control was centralized at the reception. Even though the weather was cool during the night, we couldn’t open the windows because of the mosquitoes) so had to live with the 24.8 C. Nonetheless, this was not something that would stop us from coming again. Just wanted to make sure they fix it though, which they said they would.

Pool was fabulous, bed comfy and breakfast good. We ate at the pool and were impressed with the food and service tho pricey compared to down the hill. It’s our second stay and we will be back.

Music by the pool - we prefer silence.

Location was nice. Fancy area of the higher Trastevere. Room was OK. Two windows with nice sunlight and views to the ancient walls and old tress, good a/c, sound-proof. Bathroom was also ok. The staff was correct. Not a 5star, but nice, in particular breakfast attendants and the girl in the reception during mornings.

A lot to say here: 1) Breakfast is OK, but not of a 250/euro the night place. Coffee machine was good but only one; always queue to serve a coffee. Few choices of bread, they should offer more. Bakery like pau au chocolate ok; cakes not so good. Cereals and fruits ok. 2) The pool is what you pay for (so much), as they don’t usually have in Rome Centre. However, I don’t like the thing of having to cover your head to swim…very old fashioned; invest more in cleaning services rather than asking such a ridiculous thing. Also, the opening time u til 7pm is too short, it should be available till 9 pm, but as the restaurant is behind it, they close the pool for guests to make money with the restaurant. UNACCEPTABLE. 3) There is a rooftop, from which you should be able to see St Peter’s Cathedral/Vatican and most of Rome, also the best sunsets. There are photos of it when you reserve. But it was CLOSED. Due to “maintainance”. They should warn you. It is somethibg for which you may have decided to stay there. If I knew it would be closed, then I may have reserved some other place. 4) TOO EXPENSIVE for what they offer. It is not a 275-euro/night hotel, without hesitation it isn’t.

It’s a beautiful out of the way location, yet close enough to the center of everything. Love the options for relaxation, great cocktails, wonderful food, and excellent service.

The hotel and grounds are spotless and well maintained. I learned that this used to be a monastery and later became a hotel. The art is wonderful, breakfast and staff are kind. Transportation from airport was arranged by the hotel.

I specifically booked this hotel for use of the pool and sun beds as I knew the temps would be high during our stay. I would have taken advantage of this amenity including their bar at the poolside., however there is a 30 euro charge per person in addition a cap is required(hotel provides).

Pool and Breakfast were great. Staff at front desk pool were very friendly and it was clean.

Hotel is traditional older Italian hotel. Clean with small rooms

Small rooms and construction noise that started at 8am.
