Athens Hotels with Gym

Excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from the X95 bus terminal. The National Garden is right in front of the hotel, Syntagma Square is a left turn out the door, and the Acropolis South Slope and Acropolis Museum are about a ten-minute walk to the right. It's incredibly convenient for sightseeing and dining. We booked a room with a view, facing the street, but it wasn't noisy at all once we closed the windows. The room was a bit small, but that didn't bother us in the slightest.

Olympus Residence is a comfortable and modern place to stay in Athens. The apartment is spacious, clean, and equipped for a short stay. Just starting to show some age but the beds were comfortable, the air conditioning worked well, and having kitchen and laundry facilities was a definite plus. The location is in a pleasant, quiet neighbourhood. Most of Athens’ major attractions, including Syntagma Square and the Acropolis, are around 1.5–2 km away. This was a good walk for us, but travellers with limited mobility or those wanting to be right in the heart of the action may prefer somewhere closer. There were a few areas that could be improved. Communication before arrival was disappointing. I contacted the property several times to ask about the possibility of an early check-in, but several messages went unanswered, including a call to the listed emergency number. I eventually received a response only after sending a text message to that number. Better communication would make the arrival experience much smoother. The kitchen was functional, but the utensils and cooking equipment were very basic. Anyone planning to prepare more than simple meals may find the kitchen somewhat limited. Overall, despite the communication issues and the basic kitchen setup, the apartment was clean, comfortable, and offered good value. With a few improvements, particularly in guest communication, it would be an excellent place to stay.

Room is comfortably spacious, clean & amenities are available. Breakfast was excellent and the staff at the Kahlua restaurant were all friendly and nice. Even the hotel staff from the concierge to Frontdesk.

I rarely leave reviews for hotels, but this stay truly exceeded my expectations. Considering it was the cheapest hotel on Trip.com that day, I didn't have high hopes because of the low price. However, the room environment was similar to a domestic Ji Hotel, and the front desk and restaurant staff were incredibly friendly. The breakfast was also delicious. It's only about 3 kilometers from the Acropolis, making it very convenient to visit all the attractions in Athens city center. The only slight drawback might be that the street it's on feels a bit desolate, but there's no need to worry as the police station is nearby.

Liked: - There is a place to keep luggage, I haven't used it but it might be useful. - Nice views. - No mold smell. The previous accommodation in Athens had this problem. - Internet worked fine. Previous accommodation had problems with it. Disliked: - AC was moldy inside. When you start it, put some light from your phone to the inside it's all grown in mold. Looks like it wasn't cleaned for a very long time. - AC is from some cheap no-name brand. It was loud and defected. When you put a desired temperature let's say 21C, it automatically switches it after a moment to a random one between 23 and 25. It was very problematic, thermometer that I had with me was showing 24C in the room during a night. I can not sleep well at such temperature, so decided I to open the window - temperature got lower, but then the sleep was disturbed by nosies coming from outside. - Online check in process is unnecessarily difficult. I was checking it later to the other place online and the form was much shorter, easier to fill. - The area isn't nice. I've been staying in two other areas of Athens so far, and both were better.

The hotel was clean, with with excellent service. Just a little far from the main centre for walking on hot days. - about 30 minutes, but fine in cooler weather. However, only a short walk to the hop on hop off bus stop & taxis were not expensive, about €7.

We stayed post-celestyal cruise. The view from the rooftop restaurant was great. The food was excellent, including staff interactions. Very patient. Answering whatever questions we had even seeking out the answers if they didn't know. I can't stop talking about the Sunday breakfast spread. Well laid out, variety, freshness was awesome.

The hotel reception is spacious by Europe standards. Checkin was seamless however we had to pay for taxes at the time of checkin. Took a little while to work out the lift as the doors don’t open automatically. You had to manually open the front door to get into a reasonable small lift that catered for 2 people and 2 luggage. It reminded me of an old school type lifts seen in movies. Rather cool. Rooms looked newly renovated and modern. Pod Coffee machine with illy pods, desk, a single chair and a wall hung tv. With this said, we had a room facing the road and whether the windows didn’t close properly or the windows were very thin with no sound proofing, but the noise from the road was bad. We were on the 5th floor and every car that went by, we heard. The heavier vehicles were worse. Does not work especially if you are a light sleeper. Breakfast was average with comparison to many other hotels around the world however I would say quite sufficient by European standards. Precooked eggs, scrambled, boiled and sunny side up, basic cereal and fruit selection and bakery was a bit dry. Omelette made on order. Staff in restaurant were excellent and extremely helpful. Location was excellent for this hotel as it was walking distance from buses and train, restaurants and some markets. Communications with its reservations team was shocking. Even after 6 emails with regard to a future booking, I did not get a single reply. Eventually met the hotel manager and had the issue resolved so a big thanks to Ms. Maria. Overall, comfortable apart from the road noise. Would I book again, will not be my default hotel so I may be looking at other hotels but would not rule it out completely.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, very close to attractions like the Parthenon and Syntagma Square. The hotel service is superb, the restaurant food is delicious, and the gym and swimming pool are great.

Great location & good service. Unfortunately, individual room temperature adjustment isn't possible, which made the room far too warm. Even with constant ventilation, it couldn't cool down (outside temperature approx. 13-24 degrees Celsius). A kind cleaning staff member provided us with a fan, but its noise didn't contribute to better sleep quality. The 'air conditioning' (a central system, adjustable only by a dial, not by temperature) unfortunately only heats until May and couldn't be turned off. The TV only has satellite and isn't internet-enabled (no HDMI ports could be found either). The breakfast was very delicious and varied, offering everything from vegetables, salad, fish, and meat to pancakes, muesli, yogurt, and fruits. Coffee could be obtained from a machine during breakfast. However, for those who enjoy good coffee, this machine is not recommended. Additionally, the hotel has a gym & a sauna. The latter, contrary to our assumption, is not included in the hotel costs and must be paid for separately (€15 for 30 minutes). On the hotel's rooftop terrace, there are a total of 4 'Hot Tubs,' three of which were functional. These can be used free of charge and without booking (approx. 37.5-40 °C). The gym features a pull-up bar, two cable towers, dumbbells (6-30kg), a treadmill, and an elliptical trainer. There was also a stationary bike, but it was broken. Overall, the hotel offers a great location, but due to the temperature issue, the nights were unfortunately not at all restful. A shame.
