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.

It was a good experience to stay at Hercules. The staff was very nice and personal. The only complain was that WiFi was weak and rather unreliable. I had to come out to the hallway to make internet connection.

Ancient Olympia
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.

A comfortable hotel in a good location. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is excellent value. It has some parking of its own but there is on-street parking adjacent to the hotel. Recommended. Excellent value.

Hotel has potential but…
Room 12 We had to depart by 0700 and did not have the hotel’s breakfast. The Good: The hotel is close to everything; the owners seemed nice; the beds were comfortable enough; everything seemed clean and the price I paid was very good. The Bad: The hotel is tired and in need of renovations. The balcony door didn’t close nor lock properly. The bathroom door would not stay closed. Lastly, there was no hot water for me to shower in the morning. If these things were repaired it would be a bargain stay

Nice older hotel in excellent condition.
This was an ideal hotel for our purposes. We walked to the site of Ancient Olympia. Lots of restaurants were close by as well. The room was good except that our bathroom door would not stay shut and the plug in for my curling iron was not near a mirror. But the place was clean, had a comfortable bed and a nice shower and also had a balcony. No elevator but we hauled our bags upstairs no problem. For such a solid old building we were surprised that noise carried so much. A crying baby down the hall kept one of us awake. Overall this is a great hotel choice if you are visiting Olympia.

Kind and hospitable
They kindly lit a fire for us in the common room when we arrived quite chilled on a late December afternoon. In the morning they made us coffee with real milk! (We declined the breakfast because we wanted to get out early). A lovely family- run hotel.

Not to recommend
hotel really noisy with old furnitures, no double bed available even if bookings are with. We really did not enjoy our stay at this hotel and would not recommend it. We got very limited sleep during the night due to noise. Location is good otherwise but we found the value for money is not as good as for other hotel. Olympia was a beautiful city and we would highly recommend to stay in the area

Good for a night or two
We got in late at night so I think that had a lot to do with it. The lock wasn't really secure on the door and I think that freaked me out, but the owner/front desk guy was fantastic. He stayed up waiting for us and had even left us a note with a key and our room number because he wasn't there at the exact second we arrived. He was very friendly.
