Location over Substance
The Royal Olympic is ideally situated with a wonderful view of the Acropolis and other antiquities. The staff are helpful and work hard to assist but unfortunately couldn’t accommodate an early check-in when we arrived. The bell staff are terrific.
Apparently it has been refurbished recently but there is little sign of it. The decor is dated and the rooms have a musty smell. We had a Panoramic View Room with a balcony and it definitely lives up to that. However, it was hard to get to sleep because it sounds like someone is running along the roof all night as the sound projects from the roof garden above.
We only ate breakfast which has a varied cold and cold spread. Despite arriving at 7:45am all the hot food was cold. The rest of the items were standard fare.
The bathroom had a whirlpool bath with a hand held shower. The hairdryer is one of the old integrated in the wall systems. My wife tells me it takes forever to dry your hair, I’ll have to take her word for it.
At checkout you are charged a city tax. Add it to the booking or charge on arrival and provide a key return express checkout to leap into the 21st century. They already have taken a card as security.
Overall, we wouldn’t return. Brilliant location but a dated feel so the overall experience reminded me of a faded motel on the Las Vegas strip and certainly wasn’t worth the 5 star price just for a view.
