Olympic Hotel

Reception were the nicest most helpful people who helped me when my phone charger adaptor failed. So, so kind and pleasant, couldn't have been more welcoming, kind and nice. The breakfast/dinner room was comfortable, clean and practical with great staff. All staff I encountered were professional and helpful. This matters when you are travelling alone as I was on this occasion.

On departing luggage can only be left in the foyer, watched over by Reception, I would have prefered it to be behind Reception, as it turned out it was fine.

The hotel is located in a prime location, near to the airport and city center. You may reach many attractions just by walking and the bus station is very close too. The staff is very kind too.

The rooms might be upgraded.

The location is super central and practical.

It's conveniently located in the centre where there are many stores and restaurants, some 15-20 minutes walk from the pier. Hotel itself is alright, clean and looking nice. Staff is ready to assist 24/7. There's a nice cafe/bar at the hotel for a drink of snack, though it's only till 11PM I think. An ok stay for a night, especially if you're not with a car.

It's overlooking a road and a square where there's plenty of noise of traffic and loud music from cars and people. The room is small, so when the AC is on there's no escaping it blowing at you, which is unpleasant so we had to pre-cool the room and then turn it off for the night. Wasn't awful but got too hot by morning. Shower is tiny and in disprepair: door coming off and not closing properly, shower head dangling on a thread and leaky. Breakfast is edible but scarce and not very tasty: tough scramble lying open and heated so it's overcooked and withered; veggies is mostly tomatoes and cucumbers; no bread options, and generally low variety of anything; horrible instant coffee. Parking's hidden in an alley across the road and not manned on Sunday/evening so there's a certain running around with a keyfob to get in/return it. When it's manned it's alright, folks there are friendly and helpful, but getting to the hotel to offload bags is still hectic: you either park on the busy road with an emergency light on, or enter the pedestrian zone and block the entryway to it. I know locals do it all the time, but it's still wrong and I don't see why make guests to do it.
