The hotel was conveniently located for walking to quaint restaurants, shops, the Acropolis, as well as the Hop On Hop Off Bus.
The rooftop restaurant has amazing views, too!
A fantastic stay and would definitely return,
Comfy spacious rooms, lovely pool and the roof terrace is amazing with superb views of the Acropolis.
Location is also perfect for visiting the Acropolis and museum ( about a10 min walk ) and for exploring the city
Fabulous location and suite with a view of acropolis and temple of Zeus. Good breakfast on top floor with great views of everything. Loved the old school Greek decor.
Staff are the best. The roof top bar has a view that is one of the best in Europe, limited menu though. Very nice hotel, a little dated in ways that did not matter much to me.
Great first impression! Nothing beats the location - right in the heart of all the attractions. The evening view from the restaurant terrace is second to none. If anything … maybe a bit outdated room, but still clean and comfortable, and if you plan your trip based on long stays in your hotel room you are missing out on all this city does offer.
The staff here are super nice and professional. One of the people at the front desk was super helpful in helping me get a doctor's appointment when my phone wasn't working
Spacious lobby and rooms. Each room is randomized, though. I had 3 rooms for my party of the same type, and some had nice bathrooms while others were bare bones. The view from the top is great, but the buffet staff are very rude and unclear. Food was mid and was barely refilled. Location close to the acropolis is great.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We had a nice stay at the Royal Olympic. Known for their amazing view of the Parthenon. Breakfast was sufficient and delicious buffet. We had the inside room with no window which was fine since we were only in there to sleep. Disappointed that they didn’t come everyday to empty the garbage and remake the bed. Front desk staff were not helpful with places to eat or see etc. For the size of the hotel and 5* rating, there should be a concierge available.
The panorama view room was amazing - Parthenon, Temple of Zeus, and Hadrian's Arch with a 6x2 meter window and balcony. Excellent location for a morning timed-entry to the Acropolis, an easy 15 minute walk to the gate. The staff very cordial and pleasant. Graciously fixing a table for us upon a early arrival just to have a coffee at the rooftop restaurant. Possibly the most generous and thoughtful people in the world.

While the location, breakfast view of the Acropolis , pool and staff were lovely, the hotel is tired. The safe did not work, the shower did not work and we had to get staff in to fix these very basic things.
A nice hotel in a perfect location. Staff are excellent. Clean modest rooms . Upper lounge, breakfast area and restaurant with exceptional views and super nice and efficient staff. Rooms though clean and efficient have no coffee maker and though nice towels and an amazing pool it all seems from the early 2000's. But pricing is good and if you don't need super modern then an exceptional value
The room was a little run down and needs renovation. The fridge didn't work at all and had mold in it. The pool made up for a lot as it was so hot during our stay, we visited it daily.
Great breakfast. Best of all it was a short walk to many attractions and plaka for great restaurants. Also really nice having a tour company right next door.
Great location and staff was friendly and helpful. It sounds minor but there are no outlets near the bed so you can’t charge your phone next to you at night.
