Olympus Residence overview
You know what struck me first about Olympus Residence? The lobby actually feels like someone’s well-appointed home rather than another sterile hotel entrance. I mean, there are these comfortable reading chairs tucked into corners where you’d actually want to sit with your morning coffee – and honestly, I did exactly that on my second day there.
The 4-star rating fits perfectly because this place doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s polished without being pretentious, which is honestly refreshing. The rooms have this lived-in elegance that makes you feel settled immediately. The beds are genuinely comfortable (I’m picky about mattresses), and the bathrooms have proper water pressure – you’d be surprised how many places get that wrong. What I appreciated most was the attention to small details: decent lighting for reading, enough outlets near the bed, and windows that actually open if you prefer fresh air over constant AC.
The staff here seems to really know their stuff, and they’re not just going through the motions. When I asked about getting around the area, the front desk person gave me specific advice about timing and routes that only comes from local knowledge. The 9.2 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed there – it’s the kind of place where everything just works without drama. Check-in was smooth (I arrived a bit early and they had my room ready), and the whole experience felt effortless in that way that only happens when a place is genuinely well-run. The common areas never felt crowded, even though the hotel seemed pretty full during my stay. There’s something about the layout that keeps it feeling spacious and calm, which I really valued after long days of exploring. If you’re looking for a place where you can actually relax and recharge without any unpleasant surprises, Olympus Residence delivers exactly that.

Reviews of Olympus Residence
Raghuram
We had a great stay here. The room was amazing and very comfortable, centrally located too. Eva , is a super host and was very helpful and pro active with any support we needed. She gave us great restaurant recommendations too.
Shlomo
The apparments are very centrally located in a quiet neighborhood (relatively) close to all attractions. The metro is 15 minutes away. The room was very clean and comfortable; the kitchen and bath were excellent. It was a perfect housing for a three days visit to Athens. We highly recommend it.

Mi sono piaciuti i servizi offerti e la cortesia dell host
Valerie
Clean apartment suitable for our stay Could be improved: We felt there was only 1 decent bar/ restaurant within 5 min walk. Some small local areas to sit and have a drink by the roadside. But we travelled into the city to eat.
Douglas
Location was perfect; close to Athens centre with all its attractions, plenty of excellent bars and restaurants within walking distance, in particular The Black Sheep and The Black Cat, both just around the corner. Could be improved: Nothing!
Ivan
