My husband and I stayed 3 nights at this hotel. The location is wonderful for the market, the port area where a lot of the restaurants are and the shopping area. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We had asked for a room with a double bed and balcony (booked quite a long way in advance) but when we got... More

We stayed 3 nights here. The room and bathroom were good size and clean. We enjoyed the location ie short walk to shopping, restaurants, port, buses and attractions. All staff were positive and helpful. Breakfast was very good. We would stay here again. More

We stayed here in September 2011 while we were on honeymoon trip around Europe and especially Greece. So, our choice of Olympic was not based on tripadvisor but on a suggestion of my friend who stayed before. He was right. The hotel is located in a nice area where there is a bus station in 1 minute from the hotel.... More

Nothing but good things to say about this hotel. It is centrally located in a clean, safe area, close to museums, shopping, the waterfront. Rooms are large and well equipped with bathtub, satellite TV, etc. I travel on a budget and really felt that I received excellent value here. I highly recommend it. More

It was also close to many bars. Reasonable prices online for a short stay. Staff were friendly in the cafe and bar (they chilled a bottle of wine for us 'cos the... More

Very good location right next to shops (of all kinds - groceries/bakeries/tourist items and sinks!) and restaurants, short walk to museum. The breakfast (included)... More

The Olympic is a modern, centrally located hotel. We stayed one night and had no complaints with the cleanliness, the staff, or anything else. The breakfast buffet was pretty good and the hotel is within walking distance (two or three blocks) of Plateia Venizelou, which is a fine square with good restaurants. More

After spending a wonderful week in a great hotel in the area of Agios Nikolaos (Iberostar Mirabello), we spent a terrible extra night in Crete in this place due to the delay of our flight. The hotel is located in the very centre of Irakleio, which is not exactly Paris. Our room was small and dull, with the carpet full... More
