It's hard to find a fault with the hotel. It couldn't be situated any better. Easy walking distance to The Acropolis, Plaka and Syntagma Square. The staff were more than helpful. The wireless internet was free and easy to access. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the bar, altough a little pricey, had great views of the Temple of... More

This hotel is perfectly located in the Plaka area, with views across to the Temple of Zeus from its top floor dining room. The room was very good, and there's a lot of room in the foyer and upstairs lounge area to just veg out. Pool area is beautiful, with outside bar. The dining room where breakfast is served is...

Everything about this hotel is first class, the position is within easy walking distance to all of the major sites. The views from the rooms are spectacular. The decor is most elegant in the public and residential area. The staff are most helpful and pleasantly professional. The rooftop restaurant with spectacular views of the Acropolis makes breakfast a special occasion... More

We stayed at the Royal Olympic twice during our recent trip to Greece. We checked in late at night and the first thing that we did was go up to the rooftop restaurant and terrace - our first real view of Athens was the Acropolis at night. Fantastic! Their breakfast buffet is very good - I enjoyed indulging in Greek... More

We chose this hotel from the internet. We were lucky! It is a reasonably good place. It is very central and all the historic sights are a few minutes away. Decor of the hotel is good and the staff are polite. To get any view from the room you need to book an executive or a deluxe room. We were... More

I read that the hotel was not quite up to scratch. Well, I don't agree. The location is great, 10 minute walk from the Akropolis, great views from the roof top restaurant. Our room was spacious, well decorated with a good size bathroom. Nothing to complain about. Would definately go back. More

The greatest asset of this hotel is its location. It sits across the street from the Temple of Zeus and within sight of the Akropolis. The rooftop restaurant and bar provide great views. The bar is pricey but you get what you pay for. Walking distance to the Plaka district. More

Stayed for 3 nights in a Junior Suite and paid 100 euros a night! Fantastic rate for the quality of the room!! What did it for me though was the early morning breakfast at the roof garden with a million dollar view and Dianna Krall in the background. Outstanding!!! More
