Olympic village hotel — Hotel in Municipality of Ancient Olympia

|Well... unfortunately I don't have a lot of positive things to say about this hotel. First off, the front desk was unprepared for the influx of guests the night we check in. They were not overly organized. Second, when we got to our room, it was sweltering hot. Attached to the control panel was a note saying "don't use, does not work." I just about died. There was no way that I could stay in the room without AC. As it turned out, it was for the heater. We had no way of knowing that it wasn't the AC and we can't say there was a language barrier as the front staff spoke English. Third, the AC was attached on the side wall directly where our heads were laying on the bed. My husband had no problem sleeping because the AC blew over his head and directly onto mine. Even on the sweep mode. I ended up moving half way down my bed to avoid the cold air from blowing on me. If you warmed up the temperature on the thermostat, the room would heat up too quickly. Fourth, the bathroom shower and bath/shower door was so poorly designed that often the water ended up more on the floor than in the tub. Finally, the breakfast was average. Nothing special and nothing to write home about. All in all, I wouldn't stay there again. It seems as though they really didn't work too hard to ensure guests were comfortable. Oh yah, the picture of the pool looks inviting, wouldn't know, it wasn't working when...

Olympic Distress

For some unknown reason the hotel owner seems to take for granted that keeping a tractor, a run down jukebox and two prehistoric fuel power stations in the main hall would draw clients in. Maybe on the assumption that they will forget about the overall stablishment's condition later.

The rooms are quite bleak, tastelessly crammed with the cheapest available furniture, deftly placed in such a way that It either prevents you from opening a drawer (bed needs to be dragged) or from reaching the light switches (you have to remove the bedstead headboard)

Brace yourself for worse things to come and dare into the restaurant. If (e.g) you try to sprinkle salt on your food and nothing comes out, unscrew the top off the salt container to discover a thick crust of solidified material (salt?) dotted with oxide spots.

If you are a forgetful person, a moron or an animal and consequently you don't know how to set an alarm clock, don't worry, the bloke at the frontdesk would give an ( unasked for) buzz at 6.30 a m and knock on your door five minutes later. We must be thankful he does not slam the door open , pull the sheets and open the window, I assume.

Fully awake, get to the restaurant to drink a cup of a tarred beverage served by two woman- like ogres and beat it like a bat...

A family run hotel. Owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. Very nice pool and poolside bar. There is also a spa located in the basement. Full breakfast, on par with many world-class hotels!

My only complaint is the layout/design of the bathroom; very dangerous hinged glass door, which moves and is a serious fall risk! With this ridiculous glass door, my wife's finger was caught, pinched and bled. I hope they remove this potentially serious risk and add shower curtains!

Further, the liquid shower soap is miserable - only two small vials, barely enough for one! This is unsatisfactory for 3 star hotel! Thus my 4 star rating for the rooms. Suggest you bring your own showel gel, or walk to the closeby minimaket and purchase one - note the minimarket is closed on Sundays!

Nonetheless, an excellent location, only a 10 minute walk to the village center, and 15 to the Archeological site...
