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.

Aug 17, 2026Luxurious stay!
Overall this hotel was exceptional!! The architecture in the reception is outstanding. We stayed in the executive suite which included a pool view balcony which was a very good room. When booking through booking.com it did mention that the minibar was included however upon arrival it turned out you had to pay for items in there. Only minor. The beds were so so comfortable and slept incredibly throughout all five days. Air conditioning worked perfectly and the bathroom amenities were perfect! Cleaning everyday was good too. I tried out the gym and thought it was decent with good equipment. Only minor inconvenience was that you had to go out of the hotel and around the back to get to it , so creating an easy passage would make this much better. The rooftop bar was out of this world. The acropolis was stunning at any point during the day and really added to the vibe of the hotel. Christos and his colleagues really made this bar worthwhile by remembering our order so smoothly and perfectly. They also gave us recommendations for Athens which we thought was lovely! The rooftop restaurant was good too, with breakfast included up there. Only thing about the breakfast was that some guests would leave the lids wide open, which caused a lot of food to go cold - obviously no fault of the staff. I would also suggest to add baked beans to the buffet as this is a staple for a breakfast. We also tried the rooftop restaurant for our evening meal and it was incredible, thought VERY expensive. We do recommend the lamb shank! The pool area could do with some work, I love how deep the pool was and the staff were incredible. However, the deep end of the pool could do with some steps to help you out of the pool rather than swimming to the other end. Also they have quite a few pigeons knocking around which is fine but isn’t very relaxing sometimes. As I said, overall an incredible hotel with perfect location. Shops and restaurants right on your doorstep and the staff couldn’t do more for you! Would stay again if the opportunity arose :))

Jul 20, 2026Great stay in central Athens
We had a two night before a yacht cruise. Slightly worried about the mixed reviews but we really enjoyed our stay especially as we were upgraded to a large spacious room with a view. The room was lovely, and massive marble shower room. Yes, tea and coffee facilities would have been nice and perhaps more power points but despite these niggles we enjoyed our stay there especially the view from the roof top restaurant! The staff at reception were ok but the baggage handlers were great and very helpful. Definitely would stay again.

Jul 19, 2026If you’re looking for good AC, you better confirm it works
The location of the hotel is great. The rooms are smaller than what they appear to be. We had trouble with the air-conditioning as it was not working right and the rooms were hot constantly. The power was going on and off sporadically at times and we had no electricity cause of it. I think age is finally caught up to the hotel. The people in here are very friendly and helpful unfortunately that does not make up for the quality of the rooms. The other room, the shower was not working and we had a call the front desk to fix it which they did, but that should’ve been done before we moved in. The reason why I gave it a higher Mark than I wanted to is because of how good the people were at the hotel.

Jun 12, 2026Be careful what room you book!
I was booked for one night on a business trip and I’m assuming the travel agent didn’t check the website when they booked a single room - probably the cheapest. What I got was an internal room with no window and no natural light. It was dark, depressing and dated. In order to charge my phone I had to move a piece of furniture to access one of the three plugs in the room (making it darker still as I had to unplug one of the lamps!). The tv was rubbish. I managed to get about three channels and the following morning nothing at all. The bathroom - while clean - was very old fashioned and had a bath with a hand held shower attachment and a fabric shower curtain. The lobby area and pool were lovely and the breakfast room had breathtaking views to the Acropolis. Breakfast itself was nothing special but the staff were friendly and professional. The hotel is in a very good location.

Jun 12, 2026Worst hotel in Athens by far!
Possibly the worst experience we have ever had at a hotel in Greece. The staff were rude. The prices we extortionate in the restaurant and the bar. The bed must have been 20 years old! Bowed in the middle and smelt. The lights were on all night as there was an issue with the room electrics! Really poor breakfast and the waiter wanted to charge me for a Latte!! Do your self and find an alternative hotel in Athens!
