Found it on TA and we picked it for the location and value, and we were not disappointed. It is a short 7 minute walk from the Acropoli Metro station, and everyone, from the doorman who greeted us, to the check-in staff and the bell man who took our luggage had a smile and wanted to please. We had a... More

A beautiful place in an attractive location. Ground flour with magnificent attractions like the stylish hall, a comfortable library, and at first place a beatiful and cosy court with swimming pool. The roof terrace with restaurant, also for breakfast and night bar, gives a most beautiful view on Acropolis and old Athens. Some potentials for improvement.

Beautiful lobby, decent rooms, nice pool, and amazing breakfast. Gorgeous rooftop deck to wine and dine on, with a view of the Acropolis. Room had necessities in it, nothing more nothing less. Included a courtesy 120V outlet and free WiFi. Pool was nice and quiet during the day. Saw some reviewers saying it was a noisy hotel, I actually found... More

Now don't get me wrong this is a lovely hotel but I have only given it 3 stars & a good rating for the following reasons: - The swimming pool is very small & not for anyone one who wants to do lengths. It's really just a cooling off Pool. The views from the restaurant terrace are amazing, however if... More

The Royal Olympic is a top hotel in Athens, yet at a very reasonable price. The staff are always professional and warm, and there is a nice pool area. Location-wise it is just a few steps from the Plaka, the new Acropolis Museum, and a 20 minute walk from the original Olympic Stadium through the national gardens. However the crowning... More

We were in Athens during the November austerity riots. All public transportation was on strike for a couple of random days. Greatly appreciated having a hotel within walking distance of everything. As for the hotel, it is just like any major city large hotel; all of their rooms look and are set up alike. It was clean and nondescript. The... More

5 star lobby 3 1/2 star rooms 2 star service Hotel rooms get a lot of traffic nioise even facing the pool because it's near a couple of very busy intersections. Hotel toilets flush even louder then those on the cruise ships. Breakfast on the roof is very nice but the hot food is only warm at best. Front desk... More

First impressions of Athens driving from the airport was mixed & it felt a bit like a third world country so arriving at the Royal Olympic I was relieved & happy. Staff are very reserved & not too friendly with one exception of the concierge staff who were all excellent. We stayed in an executive room & it definitely was... More

We recently spent 2 days in Athens staying at the Royal Olympic, which we picked mainly because of its great central position. Arriving late afternoon, first impressions always start at check in, the young lady was curt to the extreme, name, credit card, then issued with key! When I attempted to engage her in conversation asking if our room had... More

As everyone says you cannot beat this hotel for location and view from the terrace. The reception area is grand and the rooms large and clean. But oh dear what an awful breakfast. If they had shredded the cardboard boxes in which the cereals came and served that instead of the cereal it may have been tastier. Poor selection of... More
