Hotel Hercules

What guests think

Hotel Hercules offers a simple, centrally located base in Olympia, praised for friendly, helpful hosts and walkability to the archaeological site and restaurants, though its older building and basic rooms suit short stays more than extended visits.

Many guests find rooms very clean, but several mention cigarette odors in common areas and occasionally musty bathrooms. Expect some street or church-bell noise and, for some, weak Wi-Fi, with minimal in-room amenities. Breakfast is commonly viewed as good value, highlighted by fresh orange juice, though coffee quality divides opinion. A practical, budget-friendly stopover near the sights.

The hotel is a bit dated, but has fully adequate room amenities, and the room was actually quite large. The owner (we assumed it was the owner) was very friendly. The location is very good, since the village is quite small, one can get to all the sites in less than 15 min walking, and it's a pleasant walk down the main street, lots of eateries, souvenir shops etc. on the way

Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Comfortable for a one night stay. No elevator so it was good we were only on the second floor. Parking was not plentiful in the area but that seems to be the situation in Greece as a whole. Not bring a smoker it was not appreciated that the lobby smelled of cigarette smoke. The owner/ manager? was very nice and check in was easy.

Hercules is centrally located and the staff was very friendly. Our room was clean but there are no amenities like hair dryer or iron. The windows are louvres, which are pretty but don’t seal shut so street noise was on the loud side.

A nice modest place run by a friendly family. I visited in the offseason so things were quiet. The hotel was as as described and the staff was very kind and accommodating. It’s no Hilton of course, but the bed and room were comfortable. Traffic is a bit noisy which is odd for a tiny town, but I had a nice time.

We enjoyed the traditional Greek breakfast of hard boiled eggs, breads, pastries, yogurt, coffee and tea (7.5 EUR pp). It is a perfect place to stay for a night or two while visiting the sites of Olympia.

Seul bémol, un peu bruyant (volets persiennes doublés d'un rideau voile, qui laissent passer les lumières et les bruits de la ville). Ceci dit, le site archéologique est à côté et l'hôtel est en ville.
