Olympic Palace Hotel

Perfect holiday. Hotel was amazing, location was next to the beach, 10 minutes taxi ride into Rhodes old and new town and very close to the airport.

Food on site was really good, variety of food daily and the all inclusive evening menu changes daily for the theme.

Other restaurants and bars at the hotel were really good. The Oregano restaurant had yummy gyros, the rooftop bar was so bliss, views were amazing and the entertainment each night was something for everyone. Poolside bar was amazing

Pools were good sizes and great that the children and their floats stayed in the middle pool

Staff were all very friendly and helpful and made the holiday even better

Highly recommend staying here

What a great experience!! From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with drinks. The reception was always friendly and ready to help you. The rooms and the hotel itself were taken care of down to the last detail. This was a holiday to remember. Definitely recommended!!
If we go to Rhodes again I already know which hotel it will be

This was the most amazing hotel I think I've ever stayed in. The reception is so welcoming, even given drinks on your arrival while you check in. The staff were so helpful and the room was always cleaned to perfection. The room itself was so spacious with a lovely view of the mountain. The amenities were fantastic, 3 restaurants in the hotel as well as the all inclusive buffet restaurant, mini golf on site and a roof top bar where you can go and watch some beautiful sunsets. I can't recommend this hotel enough I will definitely be back!!!!

“It is what it is”
The hotel is well located: not far from Rhodes Town and not far from the airport.
In general, this is a very nice hotel where there is constant cleaning. The hotel has 3 swimming pools. There are a few shops, a spa, in the evening there are shows, car hearing, the possibility to book excursions, mini-golf, etc... Anyway, there's something for everyone.
And very important: everyone is super friendly.
Rooms
We had a room type 24. This is a room at the front. Every day there are fresh sheets and towels (small, large and for pool or beach). The room is nice and sufficiently large, there is a sitting area and a terrace with sea view. The bed is rather on the narrow side.
As far as I'm concerned, there is one big drawback: the air conditioning comes from a joint system and does not provide sufficient cooling.
We arrived in the evening, when it was 27°C in the room. After a few hours it was still 26°C. Of course, the whole room and all the objects in it are warmed up, and it takes a long time for them to cool down. So it was really way too hot to get a good night's sleep. According to the reception, the air conditioning is set to 24°C. You can't go any lower, despite the fact that there are lower temperatures on the control button. "It is what it is", was the decision. And indeed, the girl was absolutely right, but I did let her know that this would be the title of my review.
The next day, after a bad, sweaty night in this sauna, we were at 25°C. I then contacted the management. They have done their very best to deal with this problem. A maintenance technician was sent over, and we were given an extra air blower. Possibly we could also get another room, and they would move us themselves. We didn't do this. The solution was to ask for an extra card and put it in the room lock, so that the air conditioning continued to run day and night. In the end we ended up with a 24°C, even up to 23.5C once. And that was doable. It is better to set such an air conditioner much lower, so that you reach the desired temperature and cooling faster. Now this is taking far too long. The management is doing its very best, but they are also faced with accomplished facts, because one cannot technically go lower than 24°C at the moment. In another room, the problem would have been the same. It is incomprehensible how such a beautiful hotel can have such a miserable air conditioning. To save money, I think this is a bad idea, because now our air conditioning has been running day and night.
Meals
We had half-board.
I read in reviews here and there something about the waiting at the dining room.
Indeed, sometimes you have to wait a bit until you are assigned a place. But that wait is certainly not excessively long. Yet it was not our concern.
Everyone here is very friendly and busy.
The breakfast is very, very extensive. The only improvement could be that one would bake a fresh pancake or waffle on the spot. Instead of making them available in hot plates.
The dinner is also very extensive. The same remark as with breakfast: preparing some on the spot here and there could be an improvement. I also missed some more fish. At the end of the day, we're on an island for something.

Beautiful hotel, room could do with updating.
Bar staff and chambermaids excellent.
Restaurant manager in charge of seating looked miserable and several times we had to wait for the table to be set (although plenty of free tables which were already laid) and to order drinks
The oregano lunch Restaurant is lovely but should have a few more options. The Mexican was excellent. Beautiful spa, nice staff
Our room on the 7th floor had great views but was very noisy with the bar on the floor above (music and chairs moving) handy shop in the hotel. The girls who lead the exercise were lovely, but a "proper" yoga teacher would be good.
A lot of private spaces to quietly sit are dotted around the Beautiful hotel grounds.
Elevators slow,small and super hot.
Nice private beach. Not fr from Rhodes town.

If it was an option I would rate 4.5*. I think that the facilities and spa at this hotel are fantastic, staff were very helpful and friendly. I personally enjoyed all of the food and drinks however my wife being a little bit “fussy” had days where it was great and days where she stuck to the kids chicken nuggets and chips. Rooms I think are lovely, maybe a little dated and definitely could do with an AC upgrade. Overall our 10 nights here were great, exactly the holiday we needed.

This is the second year in a row that we have stayed at this hotel. Last year was great, but this year was even better. We got a room on the eighth floor with a direct view of the sea. We were delighted with the room and all the other things in it. It was very spacious, clean, and best of all, a balcony with a sea view... The food in the restaurant was excellent, a great variety for everyone's taste. The staff in the restaurant was fantastic... from the manager to the other staff...always there when it comes to the guests. Everything you need to have a great vacation in and around this hotel is at the highest level. The beach is located across the street from the hotel where you have sunbeds and umbrellas. Everything is clean and tidy. The guy who works there is great, for whom we have nothing but praise. Near the hotel there are many shops and restaurants that offer very good food, and if you want to walk, you can reach Rhodes town in about 45 minutes. You can rent a car at the hotel, all the formalities are completed in ten minutes, and then you can visit the fantastic places on the island. We would definitely come back again.

We had a wonderful trip for 8 nights here. The staff are faultless and lovely. The location is ace and the pool is great. The only few criticisms I have - the room doesn't feel "5 star". Just needed small attention to detail (toilet paper is the thinnest I've ever had at a hotel for example). Also no allergy symbols on the food.

The main criticism I have - you guys need to get more ontop of people going out first thing to put a towel down, and leaving their towel until 11/12 on a lounger. Few times we just couldn't use the pool for most of the day. Loved it though, thank you!

Such an amazing place. All the staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. The adults only room we had was just amazing, and when we arrived it was all set up for us to enjoy our honeymoon. The lounge bar was our personal favourite out of all the bars in the hotel, and Paulina was really friendly, accommodating and AMAZING at making cocktails! The spa was lovely and the treatments we had were very enjoyable. There was always a variety of food in the restaurants and was very tasty! I would happily return to the Olympic Palace, I never wanted to leave!
