We stayed there a few years back and noticed a slight decline. The rooms are classic but contain no coffee pot (all hotels have coffee pots these days) and for the price, should have been included. Royal Olympic is not cheap. The buffet is average, far below what we had last time. The location is good, within walking distance of Parliament, Syntagma and Plaka.

TOP TIER. Absolutely beautiful hotel. Had the best cheeseburger of our trip at the pool. And the rooftop restaurant is immaculate. 10/10 customer service - and this is coming from somebody who has worked in the hotel industry. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!!

Our room (604) had a strong odour of sewer which would not go away even with the balcony door open. Staff was quick to move us though.

Beautiful lobbies and common elements. Easily walkable to many sites and restaurants . It’s time to upgrade the bedding and room electronics. We stayed for five nights and this was the least comfortable room out of our fifteen days in Greece. There are much more comfortable accommodations near by in the same price point. I believe this establishment is geared towards more business conference than vacationers. We stayed on the second floor in one of the panoramic view suites. I would stay again once the updates are made, but until then I do not recommend for staying several nights like we did.

Right in the heart of Athens and so convenient to everything. More of a retro style, but super clean and taken care of. The room was a little warm and the bed extremely firm.
