I wish that we had stayed on a Room-only basis. The Hotel was in a fabulous location, just opposite the Temple of Zeus and in a safe area, well stocked with great shops and places to eat. We went for the basic (Executive Double) room, which had a huge bed (2 singles together) and a bath as well as a... more

We just stayed 2 nights at this hotel while visiting Athens. We had an executive room overlooking the pool, the room and bathroom were small but clean, the bed linens were clean and soft. The hotel foyer is nice (in a greek way) and so are the roof bar, dining room and pool. We had drinks at the roof bar... more

Booked this hotel due to its location near to the main sights. We weren't disappointed with the location just 5 minutes walk from the Acropolis and near to plenty of cafes and restaurants. The nearest Metro station (Acropolis) is about 3 minutes walk and the tram to the beaches is 3 minutes walk in the other direction. The first room... more

The lobby was impressive, pool was nice and rooftop bar/restaurant had incredible views though extremely pricey. The doormen were the most personable of all the staff offering suggestions, answering questions and making us feel welcome. The rest were professionally cool. The room was a bit small for 2; more the size of a moderate motel. There was a small balcony... more

Looks like its best days are behind it. Great location. Many attractive 'physical' attributes - nice lobby, pool area, dining room. But service is mediocre (e.g. breakfast buffet not replenished), and overall it has a slightly run down feel to it. Perhaps a management change would let it fulfill its potential? more

We stayed in September 09, and were pleasantly surprised on arriving to the hotel. It is very grand, a lovely hotel and definitely for the upmarket. They had a wedding on and it looked lovely. Our room was an executive with pool view and was nice, had 2 singles piushed together to make a double and a further single by... more

The Royal Olympic is in a great location, the lobby looks super, but we were very disappointed with our room. It was small and only had a view of the pool. The bathroom had no counter space and the door had to be closed in order to use the toilet. The hair dryer was attached to the wall by the... more

Recently finished our trip in Greece with a stay at the Royal Olympic - big mistake. We were looking for a luxury hotel to relax on the last couple days and it turned out to be the opposite. Although the lobby and pool area are nice, the rooms definitely leave something to be desired. When we got there (very late... more

Arrived at the hotel about noon following the usual cattle-coach ride from Newark expecting to wait till the usual 2-3pm check-in but our room was ready. We had a large front room on the 3rd floor with lots of space and an oversized, very comfortable king bed. The view across street was the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and... more
