Royal Olympic Hotel  

great view from the top floor terrace, very nice luxurious common spaces (lobby, restaurants, elevators); great location - next to Plaka area and only 10-15mins walking from Syntagma square

not a 5* atmosphere in the room; breakfast not included in the room price; if you book a normal room than the view from your room will be on the back side, with walls, other rooms and the swimming pool;

Good location for sightseeing.

Definetly not 5+ , maybe "in the Greek standards" . The worst 5+ hotel I ever stayed!

Good value for the price (special offer at 154€ breafast included), but not friendly and very "corporate"; Extremely well located though, especially for a short stay down town. If you take an exclusive room, you won't be allowed to have your breakfast on the terrasse in the morning, overlooking the acropole..; And nobody will inform you that you will have to go in the basement dining room which looks like a canteen... I'm sure you will be able to find a good hotel much more friendly... To be honest, the room was large, extremely clean, the deco very nouveau riche, but with no view and globaly without any charm... Furthermore, the cleaning lady woke me up at 9.00 am !! Try to find an other place frankly! IOh, and if you wand to dive in the swimming pool, you are surounded by 400 bedrooms on 6 floors....overlooking your performance!

Very Good location, Comfort and the Hotel Staff are very friendly.

Posh looking reception. Rooms quiet, B/fast v good. Central location. View.

Would have liked a double bed. Drinks a bit expensive in the roof top bar.

The hotel is nicely decorated. It feels good to come back to a nice hotel like this when you are away from home and you´ve spent the whole day walking in a pretty chaotic city.

The shower is only ok, not too bad but not like a good 5 starts hotel shower. The staff is pretty cold, as if you are bothering them when you ask them something (arrogant I’d say). The breakfast is nice but there was nowhere to seat when we got there!!! I did not like that.

location, accessibility

Too expensive for what we got, lobby of hotel is remarkable but as soon as you leave it, it's dated and dingy. Staff was not friendly, for the price we paid 150Euro per night, could have cracked a smile.

Large room, nice grand decor throughout the hotel.

Paper-thin walls. We could hear people talking next door, and traffic outside. Woken up too early by housekeeping hoovering the hallway. Housekeeping didn't replenish our shower gel and shampoo - had to request it. Staff in the rooftop restaurant were pretentious and they had no vegetarian options. Went to the Athens Gate rooftop restaurant the following night and got better service, better view and the total bill (including bottle of wine) for two came to the same price of one main course in Royal Olympic.

The ubiaction was great, also the restaurant at the top,so the rew and breakfast, but the room was not in the same level as the rest of the hotel .

The room was so old and small for the price and the stars of the hotel.

We stayed there for 5 days, because it was our honeymoon, and it was perfect!! Our bedroom had a wonderful view, the food was great and the localization was the best!!

Everything was perfect!

Such a great hotel with a spectacular view over the main touristic attractions...Having a romantic diner on top of the hotel looking at the Acropolis and temple of Zues is a must! The food is extremely delicious and well served!. Great hotel well worth it! There is no better hotel in Athens with a view like that!

We had a room with a bathroom that did not suit us and we immediately got a room with a bathroom that did suit us (separate shower) and got a balcony on top.

The hotel itself and the staff were great but the view from the room was simply amazing! I also liked the fact that it was extremely centrally located - close to the very centre of Athens.

The location is perfect for exploting the Acropolis and the old town. You are literally a 5 minutes walk from this amazing monument, and you have the National Gardens at your doorstep. The rooms are fine, just the bathrooms are a bit small and the walls are not very soundproof. If you like breakfast in the hotel, book it directly because otherwise it is expensive to add it later.
