The first room that I had prior to my cruise was nice but the shower definitely needed some extra cleaning. The second room after the cruise was excellent, very roomy, and very clean. The staff are accomadating and understand English fine, the breakfast is included and has a huge variety of breakfast items. The view of the Parthenon first thing in the morning when it is lit up is breathtaking. The location of the hotel is within walking distance to everything including The Plaka, Acropolis and Museum, The Temple of Olympian Zeus is right across the street, and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

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 If anything … maybe a bit outdated room, but still clean and comfortable, and if you plan your trip based on long stays in your hotel room you are missing out on all this city does offer.

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.

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.
