The staff here was excellent! They helped us very well for detailed informations. The rooms are not as big as I expected. The rate was on discount but I may feel the room very small if I pay the full price. Anyways, in the off season with the lower price this is a very good place to stay.

Just an amazing view from our bedroom window stole the show for us. A massive big room and excellent bathroom too made our trip to Athens more memorable because of it. I'd definately stay here again.

Upon checking in we were offered an upgrade in a huge room with panoramic view over the Zeus temple. The room was wonderful, spacious and spotless. The same applies to the public areas that are clean and nicely decorated. The personnel was friendly and helpful.

The reception hall is luxurious but the rooms and service are standard. You will find nothing more than in other hotels...So I would say this is not really good value for money...

Ottima la struttura. Impiegati gentili ed efficienti. Non rispondono alle e-mail! Molto bene la camera. Male la colazione.

We stayed at the Royal Olympic for 6 nights and had a wonderful time. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, one of the nicest hotels that I have stayed. The only complaint that I have is that when our flight was canceled and we returned to the hotel, homeless, the hotel wanted to charge us over 400.00 per night to stay additional days until we could return to America. I thought that they should have been more accomidating due to the fact we had spent the entire past week at their hotel.

We stayed at this hotel for 8 days using it as out base in Greece. It is really close to the Acropolis, Plaka, subway, etc., and 1/2 block to many rental car agencies. Staff loaned us a free laptop to do email all week. They were very helpful in setting up side day trips, etc. Breakfasts are great. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Hotel staff efficient and friendly, rooms small. Noise from surrounding building work constant from early morning. Very close to Acropolis station and easy to find

Perfect hotel to stay in during the Athens Marathon - 1/2 mile from the finish, across the street from the Temple of Zeus, and close to the Plaka, metro and tram! The staff was WONDERFUL and the room was nicely furnished and clean. The beds were a bit firm, but that is often the case is Europe...the only detractor was the occasional noise from an adjacent club."

On arrival, they already wanted payment and the receptionist swore she couldn't accept my German debit card, even though I pay with it across Europe. When I convinced the manager to try it, it of course worked. Disappointing in a 5-star hotel. Apart from that, everything as to be expected, palatial surroundings, quality breakfast buffet, nice if not overimpressive rooms.

The lobby and pool area are definitely 5-star, with a mini-grand piano every night by the pool, accompanied by strings on weekends. The location is perfect, a short walk to everything, with the metro and tram both less than 5 minutes away. The elevator broke twice, but was repaired swiftly. The rooms are nice and clean but 4-star quality, in my opinion. The water gets really hot in the shower each time the cleaning lady flushes in another room, but all in all a very nice hotel.

Really enjoyed our stay. Room was excellent, location very convenient to Plaka and other places of interest. Room was very clean with very decent contemporary furniture. Overall excellent quality for the price, especially in October.

Stayed 2 nights there before a trip to 2 Cyclades. The location is great, in a walking distance froml the Acropolis and the Plakka area. Rooms are clean. I was really disappointed at the service. No free internet access for such a price. The bed were incredibly hard and there were renovations work on the hotel starting 7.30am which made it impossibly for us to sleep longer. Would not recommend this.

No airport shuttle. Construction noise began promptly at 8 a.m. No water in swimming pool. We were there off-season, but still a bit disappointing, considering price paid. Excellent location for acropolis/surrounding sites.
