AWESOME STAY!!
I was supposed to stay for a weekend and ended up staying for almost three/four Months.
AWESOME STAY!!
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.
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."
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.
