An old place, but well-maintained, used by sports teams, as it neighbors Iran's largest sports complex. It includes a beautiful green area on entry and some halls and ballrooms to host ceremonies, events and parties. Lobby is warmly decorated, spacious and welcoming.

The hotel has been renovated last year. I went there twice for breakfast and lunch A modern architecture, cleanness and caring staffs are eye catching. Breakfast was buffet but lunch was Ala card. The quality of food and service was satisfying.

We used this as a transit hotel between the brand new Imam Khomeini Airport and Meherabad Airport, so the stay was relatively brief. That said I feel it warrants the effort of a review.
To set the scene, we had flown in to Imam Khomeini Airport from Dubai after an overnighter from London. Here’s a tip for anybody coming here on the 72 hour Visa. If you’re with company, one of you waits for the visa, another go and start queuing. The system here is a nightmare and a 2 of our 72 hours were wasted queuing at immigration! Imam Khomeini is an enigma in its self, a smart new airport about 30 kms from absolutely anything. Don’t go looking for a cab, there’s nothing here, absolutely nothing at all!
So, here we are, jet lagged, hot and fed up after a huge airport queue-fest. We have a 5pm flight to Yazd and about 4 hours to kill. I had previously insisted our local partners book the 3 of us into a transit hotel to get a few hours’ well-earned kip; hence we end up at the Olympic.
Attached to Tehran’s Azadi stadium, home of some major soccer matches and the occasional public hanging, stands the Olympic Hotel. Built pre revolution, it opened 4 years ago as a base for travelling sports stars, conferences and the odd weary transit passenger. Obviously aimed at an eagerly anticipated city bid to host the games, the idea quickly petered out and my guess is that it will be a while before we see the Olympics in sunny Tehran!
Its a pretty large establishment with 100 rooms staffed by typically unshaven but quite friendly Iranians. Unusually for this bureaucratically obsessed country, the check in process was pretty quick and we were allowed to depart to the rooms quickly with nothing but a signature although our passports were kept, nothing unusual there then.
The rooms were something of a revelation though. 2 level suites with comfortable settees and twin beds upstairs on an open-plan style. There is a mini bar and a colour TV availing you of Iranian chat shows, prayers and BBC World. The place was clean and well kept although the walls were badly cracked. The beds were clean and comfortable and a few hours rest was easily achieved. The shower was clean and thankfully, the water was hot!
There are 3 restaurants and a tea house elsewhere in the hotel, we didn’t use them but they looked clean, the menu although unseen would no doubt consist of a variety of kebabs and rice, they all do!
It was a short stay here but definitely not a bad one, although they did kill us for 70 bucks for a 3-hour stay! Usual rate is $95 so they were proud of the generous discount offered.
I’ve visited Tehran on a number of occasions in the last few years and all the hotels are much of a much ness, similar quality and similar rate. In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king, so in that sense, the Olympic is not a bad bet. Its easily accessible from Imam Khomeini and quick to get to Meherabad so functionally, the Olympic represents a pretty useful transit hotel. Can’t really imagine spending my holidays here though…

The hotel is an hour's drive from Imam Khomeini International airport as well as the city centre. Located next to a sports complex, the hotel primarily caters to sportsmen and is more like a high end hostel. The two-storey building is fairly expansive and the guests' rooms are on the upper floor which is well served by a number of staircases but there is only one lift and if that were to go out of order, the old, the ill and the infirm will have difficulty reaching their rooms or vice versa. Similarly, bedrooms are a floor higher than the living room and the toilet, and the wooden stairs leading to the sleeping area could be hazardous for many. In any case, it is a very odd and inconvenient arrangement. Room service is excellent but the restaurant as well as the range and quality of menu are barely average. Iron or ironing board are unavailable. There is no safe in the rooms, nor is there one at the reception. The hotel staff are courteous and polite but the management are difficult to deal with. The hotel retains passports as security and do not return them to guests even if full payment is made in advance. A doctor is available in the hotel from 9am to 5 pm, when most guests are away. Taxis are hard to get as the hotel is rather remote. One should stay in this hotel only if one has to.

They hotel looks good. And it's outside City. They hotel have many features but doesn't have very good staff to guide or solve problems. The Internet here is very pathetic.
And management don't want to solve the problem. They asked me to adjust that. Totally horrible experience. Breakfast not so good and very less items and there is no fruits. Rooms looks old especially rest rooms. Pipes and bath tub were rusted. So I suggest please avoids this hotel. And surround this hotel there is no small shops or restaurant. The hotel restaurant food is very expensive.
