Reviews for Hotel Hercules
Review 1：what was not so good is that there was only one modern power receptacle in the hotel room, and that it was only powered when the bathroom switch was on, including the lighting and the ventilation fan. I hope they improve this.
Review 2：I liked the hotel manager, he seemed really to be a hotel manager by heart. I arrived quite late by bike, and couldn´t find the hotel (I think it was wrong indicated on Booking.com). But when I arrived the hotel manager met me in his car, searching for me :) A nice person in a lot of ways, really a pleasure being his guest!
Review 3：Family run hotel so very friendly and we were made to feel most welcome. Great value hotel for a short stay in Olympia...and a 10 minute walk to main museum and archeological site. Easy parking beside hotel (end of season). Terrific breakfast.

Review 13：Super Friendly and kind staff. when we arrived at hotel, the owner gave us a city map and explained how to get to the Ancient Olympia. Breakfast was great, I loved Greek Yogurt. Room was very clean. there is parking lot in hotel's property. We enjoyed our stay in this hotel.
Review 14：It definitely needs some upgrades and improvements. The doors require new locks and there was no shampoo provided in the bathroom.

Review 16：Nothing

Review 20：I regret not having more time to spend there.
Review 21：Nicholas. Friendly, kind and willing to help. He also let my wife and I take an "olympic" photo which we're very proud to have... An unexpected extra. It's a wonderful place to be at, to visit Olympia. High value (material and unmaterial) for your money.
Review 22：The hotel wasn't easy to find, even in a small town like Olympia. The rooms were not cozy, the bed not too comfortable. The breakfast was ordinary.
Review 23：The hotel is very close to the archaeological site and museum.
Review 24：Room was small, bathroom was small. Shower drape is old. Breakfast was poor
Review 25：Location was great. Just walking distance to the Achaeological site, the musuems and to the shopping strip as well
Review 26：The hotel owners were highly attentive and the accommodations were great. The city is amazing, totally worth the night even though it's really small!
Review 27：Although clearly refurbished (and well-done too) the rooms suffer from traffic noise through the night as the windows are single pane and the main road through the village runs past the hotel. Even with earplugs the sounds of trucks and tractors rattling up and down the hill was considerable. Although it is just one vehicle every five minutes or so it is a very intrusive noise as the place is otherwise very quiet.

Review 76：Very close the Ancient Olympia site for visiting. The owners went out of their way to get the Wi-fi working and to supply an extension cord for our room. Fresh squeezed Orange Juice in the morning from their own oranges was a plus.
Review 77：The wifi was out during my visit, but the proprietor was very apologetic and explained that the router was broken and he waiting for another to come from Athens (Olympia is a tiny place). I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this..

The hotel was very close to many good restaurants, such as Orea Elleni, and also very close to the archaeological site.
Review 83：Lack of telephone in room and no bar fridge.
Review 84：Location was ideal, only 500 metres from the Museum and the archaeological site. Close to restaurants and cafes.

Le petite déjeuner est excellent et le patron parle tres bien francaise
Review 86：I don't really have any negative remarks about the Hercules Hotel. Very satisfied with my stay
Review 87：Very nice Hotel. Location right in the heart of the beautiful little town of Olympia. Family owned, friendly, service minded, and very good price. The owner even serves orange juice from his own orchard.
Review 88：If you want to visit the Olympia site I would recommend staying in the nearby town (forget the name) and just catch the daily bus as there is nothing more to do in Olympia and all the food etc is tourist prices ie a rip off.
Review 89：WiFi excellent, great location for Olympia site.Friendly owner
Review 90：Room. Very small bathroom. Well worn decor. Smell of stale cigarette smoke.

Review 94：No fridge which would have been nice but we only stayed two nights so not a huge problem.
Review 95：We had a corner room with a newly renovated ensuite with a good sized shower. Clean, reasonable sized room. Furniture may be dated but I don't find that a problem - beds were comfy for me. Corner store across the road and a church (we had ring side seats to a wedding), walking distance to archaelogical site. For the price, this hotel was very good.
Review 96：Everything was good!
Review 97：The staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was nice, served in a lovely cafe on the main floor. The room was basic, but comfortable. Internet and air-conditioning worked well. Hotel is nearby many cafes, and close to the entry for Olympia ruins.

Review 102：excellent breakfast, outstanding central location just off main drag, opposite church, very comfy bed, nice balcony, little traffic, very friendly manager.

Review 105：Everything was perfect.
Review 106：Everything was fantastic. Our rooms were comfortable, the air conditioning worked very well, and the location was perfect. This was our favorite hotel during our 1 month spent traveling in Italy, Greece, and France. Nicolas was friendly and even recommended ways to save money at other hotels, gave us complimentary orange juice and encouraged us to sit outside and hang out with him and his wonderful family. We wish we would have booked more than two days here. We miss it already.
Review 107：The owner and his wife were very friendly and helpful with informationabout what to see and do in the area. Lovely breakfast with freshlysqueezed orange juice. And the best part was the recommendation as towhich route to follow to our next destination; saw some lovelytraditional villages that most tourists would not see!
Review 108：The rooms were quite old. The door from hallway to the room squeaks when opening, it might disturb other travelers sleeping. But it did not bother us.

Review 113：Staff very friendly. Breakfast very good with eggs cheese coffee, etc and ESPECIALLY FRESH SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE!!! The owner has a farm with fresh eggs oranges olives.

Review 114：The breakfest was poor, the blankets was terrible for my allergies,the mattres wasn't confortable (mine was kind of nclinated) andthey didn't cleaned our room. Worst of all when we was checkingout they used an old credit card machine and broke my card!! Finallywe payed in cash and went out with a terrible impression and 3 piecesof my credit card.
Review 115：The staff tried to be friendly, but personnaly it disturbed me a littlebit because he was always approaching us and trying to makeconversation, like 4 or 5 times in a day (maybe because we were the onlyhosts in the hotel).
Review 116：Great family atmosphere. Breakfast offered fresh farm eggs and orange juice produced on the landlord's farm. Lovely hosts... keeping the business going in difficult times.
Review 117：The facility is outdated and shabby and would need urgent overhaul. Thestreet is very noisy and would be more in a more touristic period.
Review 118：The proximity of the archeological sites, and of the city center whichapart from tourist lures offers poor entertainment.The manager and wifewere very friendly, he speaks well french and readily changed ourbooking dates. The breakfast is quite good.
