The best thing about the hotel was the location. We paid extra for a room that overlooked the Temple of Zeus (you could just see the acropolis if you moved the curtain). It was very convenient as the Hop On, Hop Off buses stopped 50 m away and the busses/trams from Sp stopped right outside.

Out of all our stays in Greece, this was the most disappointing one. Aside from the views from the rooftop, everything else was subpar - the service, food, room, and amenities.

Royal Olympic despite its age was a really good place to stay for three nights. Maybe modern bathrooms is the only way to make the place even better.

Wow, this hotel is incredible! It’s absolutely beautiful, and I truly wish I could have stayed longer. The pool is stunning, the amenities are top-notch, and the room was incredibly spacious. Best of all, we had an unforgettable view of the Parthenon and the Temple of Zeus right from our balcony. The front desk attendant who checked us in seemed to be having a rough day, and the rooftop restaurant felt a bit overpriced and pretentious — especially when we were told we couldn’t get a coffee to go and had to sit down to drink it. But aside from that, everything else was wonderful. The hotel is centrally located, easily walkable to all the main sights, and overall, a fantastic place to stay.

Super convenient location! Close to the best areas in Athens. The view from the breakfast is beautiful and the breakfast was excellent, a full buffet. Front desk staff very nice and helpful. The wait staff at the breakfast were already starting to close up the buffet and tables at 930am (the buffet closes at 10am) making the experience feel rushed and just overall not the nicest staff up there. The pool is great but should be opened early, 11am is way too late and 730pm is way too early to close. Felt safe walking back to hotel at night. Overall, a great hotel for only have 2 nights in athens after our trip to the islands.
