Feb 19, 2026Awful experience
I booked Royal Olympic expecting a genuine five-star experience in Athens. Unfortunately, the stay did not meet that standard. The main issue was service—inconsistent, not professional, and lacking the attention to detail you expect from a hotel that positions itself as luxury. What disappointed me most is the mismatch between the hotel’s marketing and the reality on the ground. When you choose a five-star property, you’re paying for reliable standards: guest care, proactive service, and quality control. In my case, those basics were not delivered, and the experience felt closer to a mid-range hotel than a premium one. To be fair, the location is excellent and the area around the hotel is beautiful. The view can also be very nice depending on the room. But those strengths do not compensate for the overall hospitality level. I’m sharing this because star ratings matter, especially for international travelers who may only visit Athens once. Based on my experience, Royal Olympic does not provide the level of service and overall quality that the five-star label implies. I would not stay again and would suggest looking at alternatives in the same price range.

Feb 18, 2026Fitting name for personnel treating customers like a grumpy Zeus or Hera. Don’t expect service or politeness.
The first impression is impressing and the view from the rooftop terrace is amazing. So if you want a nice view for the mediocre breakfast you MIGHT get it. Might because the hotel is a labyrinths, access can be closed. The rooms are and especially bathrooms are old and worn, not what you expect from 5star hotel. There is few amenities and asking for some is hard. Because here is the thing; the personnel are extremely rude. The behave like they are the gods of Olympus, easy to anger and making life of us mere mortal guest as hard as possible. So save yourself the headache and stay somewhere else.

Dec 31, 2025Good location Bad amenities
Its a 5 star hotel but they do not give hot water kettle nor tea coffee in the room. When you ask for hot water in a flask they ask for 5 EUROS. They don't even give dental kits in the washroom...location is very good. Rooms are spacious.

This hotel could be a five star with a few improvements
This hotel could easily be a five star with a few tweaks. It has a great location, but it is resting on its laurels and not making the few changes it needs to be all it can be. Customer service is great, and the rooms are very pretty, but the rooms lack modern features. There are no electrical plugs by the nightstands next to the bed, or in the bathroom. In fact, there are few electrical plugs in the room. The light in the bathroom is very dim and makes it difficult for makeup application. Also, no makeup mirror like other hotels in Greece. There is no full-length mirror anywhere in the room, another standard in hotel rooms. Lastly, and most distressing, they turn off the air conditioning in the middle of the night and only fan air comes out. I thought this was not very nice and it made it quite uncomfortable for sleeping. This made it a 3-star hotel for me.
