A great Family Hotel
Hotel Pelops was the most beautiful and quaint small hotel. The staff greeted us at the entrance and made us feel completely welcome. Our rooms were beautiful and comfortable with a small balcony overlooking the church next door. We played family games in the breakfast area beside a cozy fire in November. They provided a map of Olympia with suggested locations for dinner as well as sites. We have been coming to Greece for 50 years and our stay in Olympia at Hotel Pelops was exceptional!

The staff was very friendly and helpful, providing me with a map that showed how to get to the museums and archaeological sites. Susann also recommended some restaurants for dinner, and I can back her referral to Pheidias Grill: Amazing service and food! The room was very spacious, clean, and had everything I needed, including great wifi signal. Breakfast had a nice selection of food as well as freshly pressed orange juice. I loved the furniture and the decor in the room and the overall hotel, which felt authentic and created a homey atmosphere. The book exchange/library on the ground floor is a splendid idea for people who are staying longer and crave some reading material. Ideal accommodations when you're staying in Ancient Olympia!

perfect stay for visiting Olympia
We stayed at Hotel Pelops for our visit to the Olympia site and museum, thoroughly enjoying our hosts, the property (which feels like a large family house), the convenient location walkable to everything in town and the ease of the whole stay.

This is a super clean property ran by friendly staff/owner. It is pet friendly (hard to find in Greece). All safety measures were in place (masks, hand sanitizers, etc). Its central location adds to its value.

A hotel with plenty of character.
I was really impressed by the character of this hotel. The owner and his spouse were very welcoming and made us feel at home from the get go. The breakfast was plentiful and great with a good selection of items. The room was big, very well maintained (as the rest of the property), and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast/seating area was very interesting and comfy. It has books, table games, and a chimney that is the center of attention there. Do not hesitate in booking here as you will enjoy this place as much as I did.

Response from pelops on Dec 8, 2019
Thank you for your feed back. The fireplace is welcoming, however, as all fireplaces have this "smell of smoke" I feel that it maybe worth blocking-over??? The mattresses are all orthopaedic and the furniture is old, yes, most of the pieces throughout the hotel are priceless antiques.

We arrived with our Expedia printout in hand, having made a reservation months before. The hotelier said we had no reservation. When we produced the printout, he decided that he still didn't have a room for us, but he would get one in a neighboring hotel. Problem is, our guide book said every other place in town was poor. We don't speak Greek, and we were exhausted, so we had to accept the other hotel, Hotel Kronio. It was okay. The man could have at least apologized.

Olympia is a sweet village and our hosts at Pelops we’re wonderful. We met Theodore and Suzanne behind the front desk, enjoyed both. Theodore led us to a couple of terrific restaurants too.

Great hotel
The hotel is well situated in Olympia, a 10-minute walk to the ruins and museum. The hotel owner is friendly and helpful, providing suggestions on local eateries, things to do, and the surrounding area. The breakfast is well worth the additional cost - hot coffee and tea, fresh squeezed juice, yogurt, bread, fruit, etc - all the things you would expect or want in a Greek breakfast.

Lovely Stay at Pelops
Hotel is in a good location on the edge of town in away from the tourist madness. An easy 10 min walk to the museums and ancient site. Owners were very friendly and informative. Hotel was lovely “old school” Greek (in a good way). Breakfast was good and ample.
