The room was very basic, but we didn't expect too much for the price. The extremely friendly and gracious staff, and delicious breakfast, made up for the somewhat cramped and old fashioned facilities.

A big old hotel that performs perfectly! I say old because you can find many details from older hotels there is a telephone in the bathroom....This doesn't ruin your stay it just makes you laugh. They had the most comfortable (a pretty ) robes. The reception was friendly and helpful and very efficient. We got a free upgrade without even asking for it. We received a full size bottle of wine complimentary, and we only stayed one night! We didn't try the buffet dinner, but the breakfast buffet had great variety. You could tell by the very polite and professional staff that we met at breakfast ,cleaning the rooms ... that this hotel is run well and their staff takes pride in their work.
Hotel Ilis is located at the entrance of the town of Ancient Olympia, approximately 656 feet from the center. The museum and the ancient stadium are 1.9 mi away.

Olympia is a large site, while very significant, it’s also a bit confusing to understand and is in some ways, underwhelming compared to other Greek sites. I wish we got the VR glasses that are rented to hep understand the site better as we walked through.

I didn’t realise just how important Olympia was, the first Olympic Games happened here, the ancient state of Greece was inaugurated here, some of the greatest sculpture ever made reside here. All set amongst the most beautiful landscape.

Obviously, the main reason to visit Olympia is fror the ancient ruins of the Stadium and surrounding artifacts. It is a full day to see everything. We didn't engage the audio guide, as it was a bit complicated with a pre-set-up and download. But I recommend going into the museum to see the model of the area as it was in use to more fully enjoy and identify the ruins. Walking under the arched tunnel into the stadium made the hair on my arms stand up - such an energy.

Olympia was quite a surprise for me.
Olympia was quite a surprise for me.
Considering its a small town it had all you could need.
The ancient archeological site is a must see for anyone interested in history and the museum is great also and a must see as well.
The town is cosy with everything walking distance and at night its something else with restaurants and bars and shops all lit up and vibrant plus wide tree lined streets that make it a pleasure to walk through.
I can definitely recommend it and maybe a stop over on the way to the Ionian islands.
Ohhh forgot to say that one of the nicest restaurants is Taverna Orestis where i had one of the nicest meals iv had in my 9 weeks in Greece i can highly recommend it.

One night stay is enough for visiting the Archeological Site and the Museums. The small the town has only two major streets, one with shady restaurants and the other with shops. You can fint not only the Olimpia museums but a small museum about Archimedes which is really worth to visit.
It is quite a long time to get to Olimpia from the direction of Corinth, but you can choose the slower route across the hills which hides lovely villages.

Olympia the site is amazing.
Olympia the site is amazing. It is a big site, so take a while to walk through. Olympia the town is very charming with lots af little shops and restaurants. Friendly people in the town, willing to engage in conversation
Very beautiful views from the hotel terrace on hilltop just 1 km up from town center. At arrival just after 12:00 got offered a drink while room was not ready (checkin at 15:00) but after drink I was able to enter my room in the nearby separate building. Walking down to Olympia offered some amazing sights and the site and museum are spectacular, especially the remains of the Zeus temple and the sculptures which stood on top of it. Breakfast on the terrace was delicious with fresh strawberries. The hall of the hotel shows Olympian artefacts.
-Location. Location. Location. Of you stay here, you don’t have to drive anywhere! All the sites were within a 10 min walk or less.
-Free access to the pool at Hotel Europa. Just a 4 min drive (or much longer walk) up the hill. Nice perk!
-We had a room with a balcony that faced the church, which was nice! Even our bathroom had access to the balcony, which made it easy to eliminate the steam after a shower.
This is a family own business and the couple/owners are very nice and helpful. The location is great since Olympia is a small town. Literally the bus stop is less than a minute from the hotel door, and the archaeological site only 7 minutes. The facility is old but I think it's enough since everything works properly. I've been in many not-expensive hotels and this is a great deal.
Lovely owners - very friendly and helpful. Older style family-owned accommodation in the middle of town with a very comfortable bed and spacious balcony. A short/easy walk to the Olympia archaeological site. We also had access to a nearby hotel with a swimming pool, which was a bonus. Good breakfast included. Great value and a recommended place to stay in Olympia.
Exceptionally warm greeting from Kostas. Very central location, hot showers, good coffee at the bakery nearby. Great idea to stay overnight and get an early start at museum and parks, especially in winter when closure is 3.30pm. So much to see and experience at the key sites. The gods favoured us with good weather and autumnal tones. Glad we visited!
This is a really charming small hotel within walking distance to the Ancient Olympia Archeological Site. Each room had a nice little balcony looking out onto the street. The staff kindly gave us a very good restaurant recommendation for dinner. The town itself is really lovely in a gorgeous setting.
We found this hotel to be a great location for our visit to Olympia. The pool was wonderful after our long, hot day. The bathroom was updated with a very modern 4 way shower! We had our dinner at the restaurant. Selections were great and delicious entrees.
We were greeted very friendly and treated as family. The rooms were clean and well appointed. There are many restaurants and shops nearby and you can easily walk to the ruins. The parking is street parking but there were plenty of spots available.
The location of the hotel is near the city of ancient Olympia and the archaeological site.The staff is professional and polite always willing to assist.The swimming pool is safe with a lifeguard on duty.The gardens are green and we'll preserved.
The staff was wonderful and the hotel had the feel of a charming resort. The location was close to Ancient Olympia. I loved the outdoor Taverna with the spectacular view. Fruit and herbs were picked from their garden - best Mojitos!
Location is excellent. The owner is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, gave us an excellent lecture on Greek history and Olympian history, told us how to get around, etc. This was all extra and nice.
