Hotel Olympia

We have stayed at Hotel Olympia three times now, and unfortunately, things are getting worse year by year. The rooms are fine and clean, but the kitchen service—as well as the breakfasts and dinners—are very poor and monotonous. It is unacceptable for hotel guests to have to queue to enter the dining room because most of the tables are occupied by retirees from Germany and Austria. The breakfast and dinner menus are constantly the same; whatever was served the day before simply reappears in a slightly different form the next day. Overall, we are disappointed that such a great hotel has let its service quality drop so significantly. The parking fee of €14 per day is outrageous and unreasonable; it really should be included in the room rate. These drawbacks and disappointments have led us to decide that we will not be returning to Hotel Olympia!

Location was great, by the sea, approx. 25 min. to Vodice centre, great atmosphere, little bit noisy at night as there was loud music playing every night somewhere near the hotel, rooms were nice, cleaned every day, we loved the food, especially great variety of sea food, staff was really helpful. There were 2 things we did not like about this (4 star) hotel: 1) we had halfboard paid, but the hotel did not serve any (tapwater) water during the dinner, we were told it was forbidden to bring our own, so were forced to buy Jana water for 5,90 eur from the hotel staff ! We were a family of 7, so we needed at least 2 or 3 bottles, so we had to pay enormous money just for water! This was really frustrating !! You could buy water (bigger packages) for 1,39 eur in the nearby supermarket ! 2) On the nearby beach, you as the guest of the hotel had to pay for sunbeds 10 eur/piece, ok, we did that few times, but I would like to ask the hotel to clean the beach in the morning because there was garbage, cups, plates (the beach is part of the Olympia Beach and promenade, so anyone can be on the beach in the evening /at night, leaving various waste), we had to clean the area around our sunbeds when we wanted to use the sunbeds), it is not enough to collect money from guests, but to ensure that the beach is clean. Thank you.

The reservation process and our stay at this hotel were very confusing. It is extremely difficult for guests to distinguish between accommodation options in the old and new parts of the hotel, which led to us mistakenly booking a room in the old section instead of the new one. Check‑in was extremely slow; we spent more than two hours waiting in line, which significantly affected the start of our stay. The room itself was clean but worn out: the walls were dirty, the door was damaged, and the bed had torn upholstery. The wellness area is small and outdated, not matching the expected level of quality. The dinner included in the “Valentine’s Day” package was disappointing – the food was bland, the portions too small, the atmosphere far from romantic, guests were seated too close to each other, and all additional services were charged separately. Everything in the promotional offer was presented as romantic, yet there was nothing romantic about it. The only positive aspect of our stay was the staff, who were very polite and helpful. Everything else failed to meet expectations. Based on our experience, we do not plan to return and recommend others to look for alternative accommodation that better meets standards and comfort.

Hotel Olympia hosted the best New Year’s celebration this year! The accommodation was excellent, the room was perfectly clean and well equipped. The organization and service were outstanding, with an amazing variety of food and drinks. Great fun guaranteed!

We spent a week here on half board. We paid the extra for a sea view which was great, shame the bed collapsed the first night and the bedroom chair was filthy. We got changed/an upgrade to a 1 bed suite. The hotel uses those dispensers in the bathroom, the room only had shower gel and hand wash (the upgrade had shampoo, conditioner and lotion dispensers too). Drinks were very expensive, 9 euro for a miserable glass of not very palatable white wine and a scandalous 11 euro for Bacardi and coke! Food offering was buffet style, very good range of options but you needed to be early as they didn’t replenish much! This meant early dinner at 7 but too expensive to spend the evening in the bathroom. They moved us around different restaurant locations so no chance to establish our own waiter for service/tips for drinks (we were a party of 5). We were part of a group of 48 but we weren’t seated in a specific area so we never got a chance to break the ice properly. Hotel is on the (stony) beach, has fabulous extensive pools and seating areas. A 15-20 minute walk from town which is lovely, restaurants/bars/ice cream shops/ferry tours. Enjoyed our holiday but won’t be back.
