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.

Jan 18, 2025Disaster
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.

Nov 17, 2024Good Location, Confortable stay
We read reviews about hotel, and went prepared to be shocked. But, the room was comfortable, spacious and quiet.. just the way we requested. We were in double executive room with balcony overlooking the pool. The bathroom had a shower and bathtub. All the little goodies like shower cap , soap bars , shower gel, shampoo, conditioner moisturiser were provided. Our room was cleaned daily and we got fresh towels everyday. The Breakfast is on the roof top. Lovely view of city and Acropolis. As some people pointed out on cold plates and cold breakfast, it has all changed! The rooftop restaurant was covered and it was nice and cosy. Clever use of mirrors though! Breakfast staff was courteous. We got a good variety of breakfast. The only thing we missed is a kettle in the room and they joined two single beds together to make a double bed. Also, there was one charging point and that was nowhere near bed. So we used the tv plug for charging. The location of the hotel is ideal and alk the najor attractions ate a few walks away. Overall we had a relaxing stay!

The hotel is located a moderate walk from the Acropolis and a very short walk from the Plaka. I cannot imagine a better location for most visitors to Athens. It appears that the hotel caters to numerous tour groups; our group of 78 stayed for a total of four nights. The included (and very extensive) breakfast buffet is in the rooftop restaurant, which overlooks the Acropolis. There is also a rooftop bar and the restaurant serves dinner, but we ate in local restaurants during our visit. My first impression of the room was to recall my grandmother's house from the 1960s - same smell, similar furnishings, very dated. If you need to use more than one electrical outlet, you'll be unplugging the TV and the floor lamp. We charged our phones in rotation, since we needed one outlet to support a CPAP during the night. The outlet that services the floor lamp did not work after midnight (apparently there's some sort of timer), and most of the lamps were hard-wired into the wall. It did not appear to us that room temperature could be adjusted by the occupants, but it was comfortable enough during our visit. On the bright side, the beds were extremely comfortable, the hotel was quiet at night, the room was large by European standards, and the large bathroom had a combination tub/shower. Elevators are small and there can be a wait if a large group is trying to use them. Front desk service was efficient and professional.

Old old don’t come here
Old, smelly, no outlets at all. Tiny claustrophobic rooms with no windows. Moldy shower head. The bed sheets are yellow. Do not come here at all. Service is bad at front desk they should all get proper training. I would not recommend coming here. Not 5 star at all, they don’t even have water , coffee or tea in the room

Royal Treatment
We traveled as a party of 2 without our kids in June for the first time to celebrate our anniversary and splurged on the Double Athenian Panorama Room. Wow, the wall of windows that overlooked the Temple of Zues was breathtaking day and night. The room was very spacious and clean. It had a very comfortable bed, a sofa and seating area, a desk area, a large wardrobe, robes and slippers, a large marble bathroom with a luxurious double tub (which I’d never seen before), and a flat screen tv. It was perfect for our 3-night getaway in Athens. It was convenient to all the central sites, as we did a self-guided 12-hour walking tour and never needed a taxi. The breakfast included was good and the rooftop terrace restaurant was quiet and convenient. The staff were pleasant and helpful when we needed them, which we really didn’t except for a transfer to the airport. We didn’t try room service or the pool so we can’t comment on those amenities. We got everything we paid for regarding our accommodation here and couldn’t be more pleased. A great value. We’d stay in this room again in a heartbeat!
