We are a family run five star property in the center of Athens. The hotel lays just in front of the famous Temple of Zeus and National Garden. We are underneath the Acropolis and only 2 minutes walk to the new Acropolis Museum.

After our recent complete renovation, the Royal Olympic was transformed to an art hotel very elegantly decorated and more important very well looked after in every detail. One of the aspects given particular attention to, was to create a very personal hotel and as much environmentally friendly as possible. Our Roof Garden Restaurant - Bar is at your disposal offering the ultimate dinning and wining experience in front of the most spectacular view in Athens. Our famous chef will be delighted to guide you through the secret paths of Greek cuisine while enjoying the unforgettable view.

F***king worst of the worst

This is the absolutely without a doubt the worst hotel and the worst wholesome experience of my life. 5 stars? Anyone who slept in a hotel ever in their life can pressume what that means. The rooms were not renovated since the greek empire, tv without a signal, minibar out of function. They took the furniture from my dead greatgrandmother, also the first toilet ever inventer and put it in a 5 star hotel. Staff is so rude that we almost had a phisical coincodence, calling me a f***ing tourist for sitting in a bar thats supposed to be working but their hospitality decided it shouldnt work at that moment. Not a hello, goodbye, thank you for the whole trip and for the end, i asked for a blanket because extra is not provided, first they said sorry no but then somebody came to our room and threw it at me. This f***ing place should get a sanitary inspection and people should get fired

Not as good as expected.

Great location. Friendly staff , helpful . Not enough place in the closet for clothes, Had to use them out of luggage .No drinking water and cattle for coffee . TV very small and did not work in my room. Clean.Safe on the bottom of closet, you need to kneel in order to use it. The characters on safe are hardly readable.

Disappointing

We booked 3 rooms at this hotel for 3 nights with a pool for a pre-cruise treat, because I needed the pool for daily exercise after an operation. Sadly the pool and outside area was completely closed during our stay despite the weather being a warm and sunny 20°. Much of the website promotes the beautiful pool area, but management pointed out that on their website under "facilities" the pool is described as "seasonal". The hotel locatio is excellent and on arrival the lobby and lounge areas are impressive. The reception staff and bellboys were polite and helpful. The rooftop terrace is quite spectacular with amazing views. However on the negative side the staff on the rooftop are often rude and impatient. The breakfast staff seem especially unhappy and unpleasant, arguing and snatching things from guests who ask for more milk or hot water. Despite there being few guests, we often went ignored on arrival for breakfast and had to break up conversations between staff to ask them for the tea or coffee. Their attitude towards guests was at best surley. The rooms had comfortable beds but are dated and dusty, with limited electric outlets and no tea or coffee facilities. In all our stay was disappointing and I would not recommend staying at this hotel, especially if you like to use a pool and enjoy polite table service and expect a modern hotel room.

Great stay!

Excellent premises and location; really well connections to other city's parts and many sites to visit, close by! Spacy rooms, with perfect view and a roof garden with a view of Acropolis! Excellent service as well! Overall a memorable stay!

Disaster

We had been there 5 years ago when not we a 5 star hotel, based on our Las visit May be a 2 at best. We checked in for a 4 night stay and we were in a total of 4 rooms. The first had mold in the bathtub/shower area, the others they gave us were not clean and full of dust and dirt. We contacted our travel agent and advised her when we got back we were going to discuss compensation. Well it took September, October, November and until December 31st to settle. By the way during our check in I asked the from desk what had changed to make the hotel go down so far inn the past t years. The response was " you do not expect me to answer you do you?" Answer received and understood. God by to the 3 missing stars.
