Olympik Artemis

Extremely disappointing venue, to the extent that I would call its supposed four-star rating borderline fraudulent. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a broken lamp, a damaged window latch and dirty towels in my room, with an empty and loud old mini-fridge cosplaying as the "minibar." To echo other reviews, the furniture is indeed old, with surface-level damage, but of good quality. I can't say the same of the cleaning services, which were extremely disappointing throughout. In general, the staff was discourteous and had a poor grasp of English, showing little interest in good customer service. (Speaking of which, there is no room service whatsoever to speak of.) All these Olympik hotels are really the same one large entity, and the separate ones don't all have their own amenities - Artemis itself is literally just a set of rooms in its own smaller building (and a small breakfast place), with a sign helpfully pointing you to the lobby of one of the other hotels for checking in and checking out. This leaves the residents of Congress and Artemis the same solitary restaurant for lunch and dinner in the original, more decrepit hotel. Labeling the café with no cooked food as a "restaurant" on the website feels dishonest at best and fraudulent at worst. As other reviews also can attest to, the actual restaurant is really bad, with a shockingly tiny selection of universally poor-tasting food. (Amusingly, the courier for the dinner I had delivered on the second day of my stay also brought a meal for someone else in the same hotel, so, clearly, I wasn't alone with my culinary disappointment.) There is also no way to pay by card in either the café or the restaurant, which I find unacceptable in 2024. As positives, best I can come up with is how spacious the room was. For the first few days, I also wanted to praise the speed and stabilty of the internet, but that also took a nosedive on Monday, when I assume a new set of visitors had arrived. Add all this to the fact that the hotel is located on a less-than-attractive part of Prague, and there remains little reason to choose it: if you are looking for nothing else than a place to sleep, it gets the job done, but for that alone, the rooms are prohibitively expensive and the service quality is poor. At its normal price point, I would not recommend any of the Olympik hotels under any circumstances.

Just returned from a 7 day holiday and stayed here. Wow what a place. Lovely and clean, lovely staff who will help you all they can. Yes, The rooms are a little basic and could do with updating because the rest of the hotel grounds, bar, pool etc are on par with most 3/4 star hotels in santorini. Free carparking for the hire car on site. Makes a great base to start from, easy walk to bars/beach/ restaurants. If we come back to santorini this will always be our base, it played a huge part in making the holiday that much better. Thank you Maria, yannis and everyone involved in this hotel...........and the rice puddings at breakfast were to die for
