Great location across from the Temple of Zeus, 240m from the (Acropolis) metro stop, and a ~15-20 minute walk to the (ticket) entrance to the Acropolis. Great (free) breakfast with a phenomenal view of the Acropolis/Temple of Zeus. My girls asked if we could stay the remainder of our vacation at this hotel. Rooms were clean and comfortable. As you...

impressive location, quite impressed when we first arrived but after a while you notice that the hotel is not that clean!. Baths are very small, beds were not made properly, blinds, doors mirrors not that clean. Something that really hacked me off was that the doormen just stood around the entrance smoking, drinking coffee with their friends and gossiping. Had... More

We would have probably booked a small boutique hotel, but our South African friends picked it and we went a long with them. We stayed for three days,there was not one surly face, nobody aloof, it was friendly smiles all the way. Everything we requested when booking was provided, double bed, next door to our friends, room with a balcony.... More

We stay at this hotel between our connection flights. That's was really awesome - very nice room, clean, pretty furnished and has absolutely, space-like silence. Location is just amazing - almost all that you can see in Athens is located in front of you. Also there is no problem with transportation because the metro station located almost near the hotel....

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous with probably the most comfortable beds of any hotel I have ever stayed in. The view is spectacular from the bedrooms and the bathroom so having a bath is incredible (we did stay in the panoramic room so probably had an even better view). On the negative side, the restaurant doesn't have any vegetarian food... More

We had a lovely stay at the Royal Olympic. The hotel is very central to all the sights. The rooftop restaurant has a great view of the Temple of Zeus and of the Akropolis. Breakfast was a treat in the morning sun, accompanied by delicious Greek yoghurt & honey and an awesome view of the Akropolis. We got a free... More

My husband and I stayed here in March this year and sadly have to say it was pretty disappointing - the location really is the only saving grace.. Entering the lobby everything seems impressive, but as soon as you enter the bedroom areas it becomes clear this is the only area that is. Our room was large and reasonably clean,... More

The hotel is in a great location. We walked to Plaka, Acropolis and Montasiraki. The rooftop restaurant has a great view for breakfast. Could have had better service as we had to find a table and move chairs to the balcony because restaurant was full. By the time we got settled, the food was cold. However, the view and the... More

A luxury hotel within walking distance of several main attractions within Athens. The roof top restaurant provided an excellent view of the Acropolis with terrific night time viewing once all lit up along with the very good evening dining and drinks. The room was spacious, clean and a very comfortable bed. Morning buffet breakfast provided a good start to the... More
