John
The room was neat and functional for our needs - greatly enjoyed it. This accommodation was in the central location very close to the city centre. Great to be 800 feet away from Vasilakis, enjoyed our meal there:)))

Our accommodation was set in a central location next to many shops, cafes, bars and restaurants and main museum and archeological site and an ancient fortress. The staff was ready to assist, especially helpful people. The room we had included central heating, multi-channel TV, and a fridge.

I really enjoyed this lovely small and quaint hotel. I was given reasonably large and functional room just how expected it to be with a nice balcony and bath and a comfortable bed. The staff was especially helpful and attentive, kept everything fairly clean and fine. Decent central location close enough to all stores and archaeological attractions as well as near the shopping street snd 5 minutes by walk to the Ruins.

Our room was reasonably large and brand-new, provided with a nice balcony, bath plus every Games. Besides, the location was comfortable for our stay, within 20 minutes' walk of Sw Building. The vibe here was family. All the staff we met were genuinely helpful.

Great location, close to bus station and souvenir shops. Quiet and peaceful environment. The private terrace offered beautiful views of the surrounding greenery. Good breakfast provided, and the freshly squeezed orange juice was a refreshing treat.
The room was quite cold, and the air conditioning had to work at full power to try and keep up with the low temperatures. There was no fridge in the room, which would have been a helpful amenity.

The hotel was conveniently located near all the attractions of the village; I could easily walk to the archeological site, museum, restaurants, and shops. The room was basic but clean, and I appreciated the quaint atmosphere. The hotelier's freshly squeezed orange juice made my breakfast delightful. I didn't want to leave! I highly recommend this hotel for its prime location and budget-friendly charm.

Fantastic location here, though I guess in Olympia, everything is pretty close. None the less , a very short stroll from the bus stops on the main street, extremely easy to find. Staff were very helpful with providings of maps and giving some tips about where to go . The rooms were clean and cool. Wifi is available, though not the best reception in all rooms. Didn't have the breakfast that is available, but it smelt great.
Only stayed for one night and nothing really jumped out as being off. As mentioned above, the wifi in our particular room wasnt the best, but there is a big area downstairs where you can use it.

Clean room available with a comfortable bed and every Games, for instance. Breakfast with honey and hard boiled eggs, for example. Great location, 15 minutes' walk to a superb museum.

I recently stayed at a quaint family-owned hotel in a charming village. The rooms were a bit dated, but the staff made up for it with their kindness and attentiveness. They even offered us complimentary fresh orange juice and coffee. The hotel is conveniently located near the main road and the bus stop, making it easy to explore the area. It was a great value for the price and I would recommend it to others.
