We stayed here while sailing at an international event based in the Olympic marina. I didn't expect much given the website, but we had only wanted a room near the sailing. I was actually quite surprised. …

An older hotel located to the northern part of Kiel in Schilksee. This was built during the 1972 Olympic as Kiel was the host of the sailing event for the 1972 summer games. That also explains the name. It's has been fairly well maintained over the 45+ years since it was built.

Friendly welcome, rooms clean with fresh flowers but a bit shabby. Unfortunately the tiles in the bathroom were very slippery. An unwashed pan in the cupboard in the small kitchen corner, unfortunately no microwave. The access to the bedroom is very narrow, you have to go through to the side, which is not apparent in the photos. No window to ventilate. The view from the balcony was fantastic, we were lucky and had a view of the sunrise and sunset. From the hotel you can quickly reach the beach and good restaurants.All in all OK!

Very nice, super friendly and familiarThe apartments are clean and nicely furnished and lovingly decoratedGreat location between two beaches and right on the marinaI'd love to come back next summerBut there is also a shortcoming: the private landlords, the people who are mostly unfriendly and disrespectfulBut the Hotel Olympia is simply great

Hotel with a significant renovation backlog that thrives on its good location for sailors. Unfortunately the staff is not very helpful. We had no hot water the entire stay. There was no remedy and no willingness to at least symbolically reduce the price. Instead, pat answers.
