Olimpia, Athens Overview

Olimpia is located in Athens, Greece. Rated 5.2 out of 10 based on 4 guest reviews.

Olimpia is a modest Athens, Greece stay at 13 Olimpias, suited to travelers who prefer practical city access over a full-service hotel setup. The guest rating of 5.2/10 from four reviews suggests a mixed experience overall, so it’s wise to set expectations and focus on the basics. Families and solo explorers may find the shared kitchen helpful for simple meals, and the non-smoking environment keeps common areas comfortable. WiFi is available throughout, which matters for planning museum days, checking transit, or staying in touch. Heating is also listed, useful for cooler periods when you want to return to a warm base. Access is handled via key access, giving you straightforward entry without relying on constant reception presence.

In this part of central Athens, you can reach major sights by a short ride or a longer walk. The National Archaeological Museum of Athens is about 2.6 km away, and the National Theatre of Greece is roughly 3 km from the property, making it convenient for culture-focused itineraries. If you’re continuing onward, the Acropolis Museum is around 4.8 km, with the Acropolis and Parthenon each about 5.2–5.3 km, depending on your route. Several guests mention the appeal of being able to manage meals in-house via the shared kitchen, while others note that the property’s shared, community-style setup may not suit everyone. If you’re comfortable with a shared-kitchen routine and want a central Athens base with WiFi and heating, Olimpia can work—just be prepared for the realities of a smaller, shared setup rather than a hotel experience.
