Grand Olympic Hotel Loutraki
A garden and sun terrace a few steps from the beach
About this hotel
The garden and sun terrace here sit between the building and the seafront, which gives guests somewhere shaded to sit that is neither a room nor the pebbles. Family rooms come with balconies, refrigerators, TVs and private bathrooms, and the modern restaurant runs an American breakfast built around local specialities, warm dishes and fresh pastries rather than a token continental spread. That combination explains why the hotel gets booked repeatedly by Greek families. Loutraki Beach is a few steps from the door, Loutraki Thermal Spa and Casino Loutraki are both close, and Athens airport is 109 kilometres east. The bar and free WiFi cover the evenings when nobody feels like walking the promenade.
- Restaurant with full breakfast
- Garden and sun terrace
- Family rooms with balconies
- Steps from Loutraki Beach
Our take
One of the most consistently reviewed hotels in town, with 1,238 reviews behind an 8.6 score and particular praise for the breakfast and the staff. Couples rate the location 9.1, which the few steps to the beach fully justify. Travellers wanting a pool or a sea-view balcony should choose Pappas Hotel or a seafront address instead, since the garden here faces inward rather than at the water.
- ✓Come down early for the breakfast, which is the part of this hotel guests talk about most.
- ✓Use the garden in the afternoon rather than the beach, when the pebbles hold the heat.
- ✓Ask for a balcony room at the front if you want any glimpse of the seafront activity.
Why we love it

Why guests love itGrand Olympic Hotel offers family rooms a few steps from Loutraki Beach, which keeps beach days with children short on logistics. Rooms have air conditioning, balconies, a fridge and a TV, handy for snacks and quiet evenings. Breakfast in the modern restaurant mixes an American spread with local specialities, and the garden and sun terrace give children space away from the sand. With an 8.6 score from more than 1,200 reviews, I would pick it for a simple family beach stay.
