Not sure how this is a 5 star hotel. Good location to Acropolis. Roof top restaurant had a nice view and was open air. Hotel may have been nice 50 years ago, but it wasn't what we expected. Two twin beds pushed together to make a king bed. No AC. It was 93 degrees outside. The walls were dirty. The toilet seat was loose. No shower curtain and no fan in bathroom. It turned it into a sauna. The shower water fluctuated between hot to cold. The tv is a 25" from 20 years ago. Super small from sitting on the bed. The bathroom door was hard to close. Front desk staff were blunt and not friendly. Restaurant didn't have any low cost items. It all just felt old, dated and not taken care of. The reason for my low review is I don't believe this to even be close to a 5 star hotel. Maybe 3 star. But if they called it 3 star, we wouldn't have booked it. Hmmm

I really enjoyed this hotel, not only it's beautiful, clean, comfortable, spacious, quiet and safe, but the people were very nice and friendly. I stayed in one of the panoramic views room, and it was simply awesome. Beautiful property and nice people. I simply loved it! I highly recommended. I will definitely stay here again.

The hotel served as my home-base for several days in Athens. The location was convenient and the roof-top bar/restaurant was a selling point. The elevators are clunky and inconvenient for guests that wish to visit the roof-top. I had a group of high-school students in the adjacent room, so things were a bit noisy. I really liked being able to open my window that overlooked the pool area.

This is a 3 star hotel labeled as a 5 star. There was nothing 5 star except the lobby, but it was not a 5 syar experience because the staff are incredibly rude. This was such a huge disappointment considering how much we spent.

Great hotel- clean, comfortable beds, seems recently renovated, great and friendly helpful staff. I understand it is family run- the dedicated, responsive staff seems to bear that out with friendliness and flexibility. Location cannot be beat (walking distance to Acropolis/Museum), and the hotel’s rooftop view of the Acropolis is superb. Rooftop restaurant food also first rate fresh, creative and delicious. Wait staff could not be more professional, attentive and nice. We had a great stay, and wound up eating at the rooftop restaurant repeatedly, always perfect meals.

Location over Substance The Royal Olympic is ideally situated with a wonderful view of the Acropolis and other antiquities. The staff are helpful and work hard to assist but unfortunately couldn’t accommodate an early check-in when we arrived. The bell staff are terrific. Apparently it has been refurbished recently but there is little sign of it. The decor is dated and the rooms have a musty smell. We had a Panoramic View Room with a balcony and it definitely lives up to that. However, it was hard to get to sleep because it sounds like someone is running along the roof all night as the sound projects from the roof garden above. We only ate breakfast which has a varied cold and cold spread. Despite arriving at 7:45am all the hot food was cold. The rest of the items were standard fare. The bathroom had a whirlpool bath with a hand held shower. The hairdryer is one of the old integrated in the wall systems. My wife tells me it takes forever to dry your hair, I’ll have to take her word for it. At checkout you are charged a city tax. Add it to the booking or charge on arrival and provide a key return express checkout to leap into the 21st century. They already have taken a card as security. Overall, we wouldn’t return. Brilliant location but a dated feel so the overall experience reminded me of a faded motel on the Las Vegas strip and certainly wasn’t worth the 5 star price just for a view.
