About this place Hotel Olympic Heraklion

Hotel Olympic is a mainstream gay-friendly hotel on Kornarou Square in central Heraklion, steps from the market street and the Bembo fountain. Rooms are simple, and there is a bar, a restaurant and a rooftop terrace with views over the city. The attached jazz bar, 1866, gets good mentions from guests. Nearly a thousand Google reviews average 4.0. Most praise the location and staff; some find the rooms small. It is walkable to the archaeological museum, the Venetian harbour and the old town, which makes it a practical base for a city stay or for day trips to Knossos.

A warm welcome and friendly receptionists. Very conveniently located in the city center. A lovely establishment. The only downside is the very small TV for a 3-star hotel. Otherwise, the room was functional. The breakfast offered a variety of sweet and savory options, including local products, and the waitress was very pleasant, smiling, and helpful. Parking is not directly attached to the hotel; you can find spaces a little further away and walk for 5 to 10 minutes. Enjoy your stay.

Shower gave me athletes foot. Shower wouldn’t drain and didn’t realize until too late. What a way to end my Greece trip.
