What can we say about this place? NOT a lot really. They should have at least put a minus rating on here as this so called hotel would easily get a -10. The only thing we could say was the room was cleaned. The whole place was shabby from the reception area to the mould on the bathroom tiles!

We didn't read the reviews until after the confirmation came through of our booking as this wasn't the original hotel booked. We have stayed in many places around the world but I can honestly say a YMCA would have been better this worse then 3rd rate youth hostel.

The food was a nightmare I tried a breakfast consisting of a bread roll with ham and cheese with so called butter. My boyfriend refused to even touch it saying the bacon looked like congealed fat. Even the coffee was undrinkable. We went to dinner just to see what was on offer, this wasn’t a good idea.

At least we could leave the place and only slept there. We felt really sorry for the people on a self inclusive budget with children who had no means of escape.

There was a bit of noise but not from the Germans just drunk Scottish.

What a disappointment we really have no idea how this establishment has a 3* rating and how they have the audacity to advertise the photos they have on line as these photos are either many years old or this a totally different hotel. Well the restaurant certainly doesn’t resemble the photos in any way shape or form. I would relate these photos to a 90 year old woman with their wrinkles airbrushed.

H Top Olympic Hotel

Jul 13, 2008

As a recently graduated uni student, my two friends and I were looking forward to a break and a good time. We are ages 22, 23 and 25 so don't think that people in their 20's are going to love this hotel just because they are in their 20's. Our room was absolutely tiny with three beds crammed in, we had to move a bed every time we wanted to open the balcony door, there was blood in our beds, cigarette burns all other the sheets and our curtain was held together with duct tape. The lunch was horrible and they then served the exact same food (probably leftovers) for dinner. We constantly felt intimidated by the german students and had to duck for cover when we had chairs, glasses and other objects thrown from balconys at us and other tourists. I stood on the balcony one afternoon to have beer poured onto my head from above! I witnessed a glass being thrown down and broken glass falling into the pool which I immediately reported, despite promises being made by hotel staff to clean the pool, a young scottish boy ended up in hospital the following day after cutting his foot on the glass. We had no sleep, and our door ended up with several dents from german students attempting to kick it down night after night (You may notice staff constantly painting the doors while you are there, this is why). A British couple had their room broken into and were spat on in their beds! One of my friends began sleepwalking and talking halfway through the holiday when we managed to get sleep, wandering around our beds asking us 'How can I get out? I've got to get out!' It is a great shame as some of the hotel staff were very nice but seem resigned to the problems as I suppose I would be if I had worked there for any length of time. A man was stabbed outside the hotel on the first night and two girls were raped and murdered in the town. A British family managed to complain enough to get moved over to the Palace which was a lovely hotel, they spent 2 and a half hours in the managers office and we then spent a night in their hotel with them, which is not allowed, but a great last night to our holiday. Our drinks were never empty and we could finally relax and have the laugh that we went away for. A few people have commented that if you have a cheap deal then what do you expect? I have paid a lot less for the same type of holiday in Mallorca, Tenerife and Tunisia and have loved every minute of those. I am now planning another holiday before the end of the summer to relax and get over this one!

H Top Olympic Hotel

Jul 13, 2008

On arrival at the hotel we were faced with what can only be described as chaos! The hotel staff were rude and very unhelpful, however this was probably due to the fact they were having to deal with drunk German students all day long.

The rooms are in desperate need of refurbishment and are very small. The walls are so thin that it is easy to hear what people are talking about in the next room! Seriously!

Do not expect any sleep if you are unlucky enough to end up at the Olympic. 80% of the guests were 16 to 20 year old students who have been let off the leash for the first time! Here is a list of a couple of the 'highlights' we saw during our stay: There was one stabbing, one 2 year old little girls foot was cut open so badly due to broken glass in the pool she spent the day in hospital, we were spat on from the hotel balcony whilst at the bar, at 3am our hotel room door was kicked open by 3 German students shouting about Hitler (OMG!), students were arriving back from the bars and clubs throughout the night and shouting at the top of their voices whilst running up and down the corridors....

Food - Very poor. We only had 2 meals in hotel even though we paid for 'All Inclusive'. Spent a small fortune on going out to supermarkets and restaurants for food - Seriously disappointing as we hadn't budgeted for this.

On the fourth day of our 7 day 'holiday' i could take no more and went to complain to the hotel management (for the third time). I sat in the office and told them i would not move until they sorted something out for us. After much negotiation it was organised for us to be transfered to the a far superior hotel down the road for the remainder of our stay. If it hadn't been for the transfer we were seriously considering paying for flights home there and then!

To give the main hotel manager his due (it took along time to actually get to talk to him mind you!) he listened very carefully to what i was saying and after realising i wasn't just trying to pull a fast one did everything he could to get us transfered asap. We were very lucky to get a spare room in peak season in the 4 star hotel down the road for free.

Please, please, please do not be attracted to the Hotel Olympic due to the low prices or its position, i have no doubt in my mind that if you have any sense you will be appalled by the place!

You have been warned!

Just returned from the hotel from hell! Please do not go if you have small children or wish to sleep at night. The hotel is full of kids between 13 &18 and who don`t have any respect for anyone.The first 5 days of our holiday it was full of large parties of school football teams from around Europe, who did`nt seem to have any adult supervision so ran around the hotel day and night shouting and banging doors! The hotel has the thinest walls i have ever experienced so it sounds like they are in your room. The hotel put us on the 7th floor with 2 small children in a room which i can only describe as a prison cell, they had squeezed four beds into a two bed room so you couldn`t get to the wardrobe or get on the balcony without a great struggle.
On the 6th day of our holiday it was the German invasion they were noisy, rude and didn`t beleive in sleeping at night. We had to get security up at three in the morning because of the noise,they were urinating off the balcony and throwing things off.This was a common thing as whilst we were there people had thrown a chair, a full bottle of water,glasses and stones,so you had to sunbathe with one eye open. On our last day my partner was spat on whilst he was sunbathing.
If you go all inclusive beware you spend your holiday in an endless que for a drink as there was only ever two barstaff for hundreds of people, and when you did get served you were only allowed two drinks at a time and they were very small glasses. The food was ok but did get very repetative, We don`t want to see pasta for a long time. On the plus side the entertainment reps tried their best with the handful of small children ,they did do a miniclub during the day and a small disco at night. So unless you are a 18 year old party animal who has insomnia this hotel is`nt for you!
