Hotels Near Olympia in Archea Olimpia

We stayed at Kronio Hotel during our visit to Olympia. The location is perfect, just a ten-minute walk to the museum and to the archeological site. We came during low season, so there were not many guests. The place is a little older, but good enough. The owner was very kind when he showed us to our room. He prepared a very nice breakfast for us in the morning. We enjoyed out stay and the kind hospitality extended by our host.

Stay for one night after visiting the archaeological site of Olimpia, very vintage hotel, family-run, the owner, who also spoke well the Italian, is a very kind and available person, who loves his work and his house! The room was at the first floor, there was no lift but it was so kind to bring my baggage up and down! A comfortable room, quite spacious as the bathroom, without window but with a functioning windscreen. A beautiful balcony with tables and chairs. The only new thing was that he looked very noisy on the road, so at any time. The hotel has a comfortable parking front of the hotel. Super breakfast with soda eggs, bread, marmalades, honey, bricks and cake, Greek yoghurt and a very good orange swallow prepared at the moment. Excellent quality price ratio. The hotel is 30 km from the port of Killini, where we took the ferry the morning afterwards.

Arrived at midnight after a long drive from Delphi. The owner came out to greet us and help with our luggage, he told us that he would be available for anything we needed until 3am, wonderful to know! The room / suite was the entire top floor of the hotel. The owner told us that he had to planned for it to be his home and that showed, everything you could need was there. In addition to the bedroom and bathroom, there was a sitting area and a small area for cooking (fridge, stove top, plates, cutlery, glasses). The rest of the space was a partially shaded deck with dining table, sun beds and a hammock. The view from the deck over the countryside was beautiful and peaceful. Breakfast was delicious with many choices - the yogurt and honey and also strawberry jam were so flavorful. Was ideally located for an easy walk to the archeological site. For the accommodation and breakfast provided, this was excellent value. Only stayed one night but would have loved to have stayed longer to enjoy the space on the top floor and would absolutely go back if retuning to Olympia.

This is a reasonable 4 star hotel. Our room was an OK size with a couple of stairs going down to a small sitting area and the balcony. Unfortunately once we put a suitcase on the luggage rack at the bottom of the bed it made it a bit tight walking around the bed. The room had a view overlooking the swimming pool. There was a small pull-out clothes line on the balcony which we really appreciated. The bathroom was a reasonable size although there was a bath with a shower over it rather than a walk in shower. The hotel is up a hill and the distance to the town is not very far. However, it is a very steep hill. We walked down very carefully and caught a taxi back which only costs us 5€. There is free parking at the hotel. There was quite a range of food available for breakfast. On the second morning of our stay there was someone cooking omelettes to order which was great. On check-out the receptionist told us there was a charge for mini-bar items we had consumed. We told her that we had not consumed anything. She quickly said “sorry, my mistake”. She did not check anything and we were left with the feeling that this had been a “try on”. Regardless, it would seem that this is something that the receptionist should check before advising customers of an additional charge because last impressions count. Without this incident I would have rated the hotel as very good rather than average.

Going late in the morning and rushing overnight, there is not much impression. There was no electric kettle in the room, and the uncle in the lobby bar enthusiastically used the coffee machine to fill me with several pots. The hotel is a bit old, and the air conditioner is a radiator-like device placed next to a desk near the desk.
