Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Older building that has been taken care of. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast (set menu) very good.
We stayed at the Hercules for two nights and really enjoyed our stay. The owner was so friendly and very helpful with local advice. The room was simple, but very clean. We would definitely come back here again.
We arrived at the hotel for the night directly from Kalamata Airport, the owners have been waiting for us and have welcomed us late in the evening around 23. Very Clean and comfortable, very close to the sites.

Good value for money
A nice modest place run by a friendly family. I visited in the offseason so things were quiet. The hotel was as as described and the staff was very kind and accommodating. It’s no Hilton of course, but the bed and room were comfortable. Traffic is a bit noisy which is odd for a tiny town, but I had a nice time.
It was a good experience to stay at Hercules. The staff was very nice and personal. The only complain was that WiFi was weak and rather unreliable. I had to come out to the hallway to make internet connection.
The hotel is a bit dated, but has fully adequate room amenities, and the room was actually quite large. The owner (we assumed it was the owner) was very friendly. The location is very good, since the village is quite small, one can get to all the sites in less than 15 min walking, and it's a pleasant walk down the main street, lots of eateries, souvenir shops etc. on the way

Hercules is centrally located and the staff was very friendly. Our room was clean but there are no amenities like hair dryer or iron. The windows are louvres, which are pretty but don’t seal shut so street noise was on the loud side.

Very basic hotel. Our room was clean. However, neither the bathroom door, nor the patio door closed properly. Plus the church bells right outside our room were really loud. Wifi very weak.

Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Comfortable for a one night stay. No elevator so it was good we were only on the second floor. Parking was not plentiful in the area but that seems to be the situation in Greece as a whole. Not bring a smoker it was not appreciated that the lobby smelled of cigarette smoke. The owner/ manager? was very nice and check in was easy.
We had a wonderful one night stay at the Hercules Hotel. It is very conveniently located. We received a fantastic dinner recommendation from the staff (Taverna Orestis). We enjoyed the traditional Greek breakfast of hard boiled eggs, breads, pastries, yogurt, coffee and tea (7.5 EUR pp). It is a perfect place to stay for a night or two while visiting the sites of Olympia.
The guy at the front desk was grumpy but also funny. I wanted to like this place more, but the main areas smelled strongly of fuel, and the bathroom was so dank and moldy smelling. Also, I paid for breakfast, but they said I didn’t and refused it.
