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.

Oct 14, 2026Not what one would expect from a “5 star hotel”.
Location great, but air con not working and when queried with reception told “fresh air only option, maybe work tomorrow”, shower alternates between extremely hot and icy cold without warning and without touching taps, no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. Overall a disappointing experience and not what one would expect from a “5 star hotel”.

Would not do return stay .. passable but their are better options
Rude front desk staff took away from experience . Day one A/C broken we report it . Supposedly fixed .. end up getting back to hotel Late it’s not fixed .. front desk says nothing can be done we don’t sleep it’s so hot ..next day report again .. later when it’s not .. maintenance man tells me he told them it can’t be fixed quickly .. rude front desk staff refuses to move us claiming hotel sold out. I finally get manager who moves us to new room .. ok av works in new room Buffet breakfast included .. sure but at 7am there’s 50-60 people inline to get in restaurant .. (apparently this hotel has tour that book 30-30 rooms ) they clearly can’t handle the volume . We ended up going out for coffee and pastries before our day starts ) day two & three ) we wait in buffet line .. it’s mediocre at best . Pros .. good location to walk to temple of zesus , platka & monistaraki .. roof top bar & restuarant has beautiful evening views with decent food .. Small pool for quick dip to cool off .. with tour bus quests waiting to check in and out .. lobby and pool area crowded with guests waiting ( sometimes sleeping ) to check in. The rude front desk staff, room issues & being a tour bus stop over .. I would hard pass this one

Sep 30, 2026Good quality hotel, but needs a few adjustments!
It is a pretty nice hotel the decoration on the entire lobby area is absolutely stunning and beautiful. The outdoor pool area is also stunning and beautiful. And their rooftop restaurant bar and lounge is just stunning and first class! Where they lack is in some of the room decors and also when it comes to handicap accessible accommodations. The hotel obviously is old and when it comes to the rooms they definitely can use some modern updates in some of the rooms. We are disabled and my wife is in a wheelchair. They only have one handicap accessible room, and while it is decorated very beautifully it is an interior room which means there are no windows or no balconies or anything. The room is very dark and dim because of it. Also they took twin beds and put together with a gap in the middle and they are done as two separate beds just pushed together rather than putting a regular king size bed in it to make it more comfortable. The rooftop restaurant bar and lounge area is also stunning and gives awesome views of the Acropolis in Athens. So while the the lobby area,the bars, the pool and the rooftop restaurant and everything else gets five stars. They really need to work on updating and brightening up the hallways and definitely some of the rooms. The pictures you see are of our handicap accessible room again very dark no windows no balconies. Some of the other rooms are decorated beautifully like this while yet others are playing and vanilla with nothing to them. It would be nice if they made sure all the rooms look high class. The staff is amazing as well! If any of the owners or upper management is reading this review, I would like to say I would highly recommend taking possibly a few of your smaller rooms that might be next to each other and knocking down the walls and making the room larger and converting them into rooms for disabled accessible people so that they can have a window and perhaps even a balcony depending on the rooms that you choose, this would definitely raise the bar for you. If you could make some of these adjustments and maybe even something for a larger lift for wheelchairs to fit in better we would definitely stay at your establishment again. I'm not sure, perhaps you just want to cater to people that are not disabled I'm not sure, but if you would like to be known as a hotel for all people I would highly consider making these adjustments. With the most sincerity and honesty and wanting nothing the best for your establishment.

Sep 29, 2026A Wonderful Start to Our Greece Trip
We stayed at the Royal Olympic for just one night at the beginning of our Greece trip and had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect for exploring Athens, the breakfast spread was phenomenal with so many options, and enjoying it on the rooftop with those incredible views made it even better. A great start to our time in Greece! 🇬🇷
