Grand Master Suites

We stayed here for four nights in June of 2025. The location of the hotel is generally good for getting to some of the more noteworthy site (Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, etc.). There's a metro station around 8 minutes walk away, which opens up most of the rest of the city pretty well. We walked from here to the Vatican, which took around 35 minutes, but would be less than half that by cab. The surrounding area is great for clothing shops, but the food we found nearby was mostly so-so, and frequently over-priced tourist fare, though I'm sure if you walk a little farther from the hotel you can find some good options. The room itself was booked for a family of four, and was comfortable. The bathroom and shower had good water pressure, and the AC worked just fine. Some of the sheets were not quite clean, but we just didn't use the one we found slightly dirty. The beds were comfortable and a good size. The room and hotel have little to no facilities, so you're really just paying for room and the location. The exterior entrance is not well marked, and we actually walked past it on the street several times. If you're thinking of booking here, I'd recommend just looking for the GAP store which is directly across the street, much easier to find. Our interactions with the hotel staff were limited. We received a number of automated messages, some of which were contradictory, or had out of date information. After booking and paying for the room (a non-refundable booking) we were told there was an extra "city tax" not included which would need to be paid before checking in which amounted to around an extra $90 or so, and the offered price of an airport transfer service went up as soon as we requested it (from 85 euros to 95). The hotel arranged the transfer service for us, but the driver left the airport before we could get out of the passport control due to another booking. The driver service showed up at the hotel at the time the flight was supposed to arrive, even though the flight was late, and you'd expect them to know that going through passport control takes easily an hour, so this seems to be quite poor planning on behalf of either the hotel or the service. We ended up taking a taxi from the airport which was also slightly over half the price of the transfer service, so I'd recommend skipping their service, it seems like a rip-off. Taxis from the airport to the city center seem to be subsidized by the government, and were a fixed price of 55 euros (for a normal size car big enough for 4 people) at the time we visited. The train from the airport is also not a bad idea if you're comfortable using the metro, as the train station is just 3-4 metro stops from the nearest metro station to the hotel (Spagna). Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but felt like we mostly paid for the location.

Worst experience we had in Italy - don’t give this company your money. We did not let it ruin our trip as we enjoyed the city, people and all the sites. The apartment we booked online was NOTHING like what we were given. Be very aware the photos on the Grand Master Suites online representation look nice but what we had was awful. We did NOT get the apartments we thought we’d booked on Via Del Corso, we were walked to another apartment that’s obviously a sub lease - It’s now managed by RentInRome.it - also we checked the apartments we received on that site. The photos are nothing like the shabby and tired apartments we received. Also the costs of the rentals was about 1/3 of what we paid. The room with twin beds was like a furnace, the air con wasn’t working and the beds were filthy . The sofas too. All the floors tired and worn and the “terrace” full of filthy furniture and dead plants. After discussion they said 2 of the 4 of us could take another apartment 15 mins away. The photos of that apartment looked nice online - but the state of it now vs photos is very different.

I had the pleasure of staying at Grand Master Suite and I can’t recommend it enough! The property is absolutely beautiful, with elegant design and attention to every detail. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the Spanish Steps, Via del Corso, and all the main attractions of the historic center. The room was spacious, bright, impeccably clean, and stylishly furnished. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the area is quiet, which made for a perfect night’s sleep. The staff was simply outstanding: professional, friendly, and always ready to assist with a smile. A special thank you to the reception team for their excellent restaurant and sightseeing tips! Staying here made our time in Rome even more magical. I’ll definitely be back!
