My stay at the Hotel Olympic was a happy experience. The staff were friendly and very knowledgable of the local attractions that Port Vila have to offer. The hotel is right in the centre of Port Vila with local eateries within walking distance. My room had been recently refurbished in a tasteful calming colour palette and was very spacious and...

I give top rating to this hotel because it was simply great value for money. All you could reasonably ask is that the rooms were of a high standard and they were with comfortable beds, large white tiled floors and spacious en suite. Cafes, restaurants, breakfast bars were all around and the Vanuatu Cruising Yacht Club 5 minutes away. MALCOLM... More

I spent a month in the Olympic. It's a short walk to most of the businesses in Vila, and handy to many restaurants, cafes, the Tropical Market, Anchor Inn and Nambawan Cafe. I had two rooms - a large double with basic kitchen facilities (electric frypan, jug, microwave and refrigerator), and a two room suite with a full kitchen. The... More

I stayed here for five nights in October. The hotel is conveniently located on the main street of Port Vila, on the northern side of town. Restaurants, bars and night-life are within close walking distance. If you want a swimming pool you'll be disappointed. Breakfast is not included: it's an optional extra if one desires it. I found the staff... More

We enjoy staying central to everything going on, so we loved the location of Hotel Olympic in the centre of town. Walking distance to the cafes and restaurants, the supermarket, and ferry to Iririki. Accommodation in Port Vila is quite expensive, particularly for what you get for your money. We paid $90 a night for Hotel Olympic standard twin room... More

The Olympic is an institution in Vanuatu. I stay there every three to four months fo business. The location is perfect for me being in the heart of town. Most of the rooms are large & self contained. Free Wireless internet is a big bonus for any commercial traveller. The satff are always helpful & friendly & currently the rooms... More

The Olympic got great service and is really a clean hotel to an affordable price. The standard is of what you might expect on any european hotels. The friendly girl at the counter even recognized us from our last visit and we`ll be back at another occation. The cons are that the internet connection is among the worlds slowest and... More

We booked into the Olympic for two main reasons: because it was downtown (which we generally prefer); and because a large double room with a/c for under 8000VTUs seemed excellent value for money compared with all the resort hotels which surround Port Vila. Being downtown offered a choice of places for breakfast and dinner (not possible if you're staying in... More

Working close by I had intended to stay in the hotel for seven weeks. Ordinarily, I think it would have been adequate for that. My room, with its kitchenette with microwave, electrically heated frying-pan, toaster, kettle, etc. (but no stove or oven) functioned more as a serviced apartment than a hotel room which suited me well. The place is well... More
