Best Western Hotel Ilios

Best Western Hotel Ilios is a mid-range property in the village of Ancient Olympia in the Ilia regional unit of the western Peloponnese, affiliated with the international Best Western brand and operating to its standard quality baseline. The hotel stands on Kondyli Street near the village centre, which exists primarily as a service point for visitors to the UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site of Ancient Olympia and its adjacent museum — both are within a 10 to 15-minute walk on flat village roads. The property has an outdoor pool and sun terrace, a breakfast buffet restaurant, and a bar; the restaurant also serves light lunches and dinners in the summer season. Room types include standard doubles and larger family rooms fitted with two beds; all rooms are air-conditioned with WiFi and private bathrooms. Best Western Ilios is one of the more reliably maintained mid-range options in Olympia village, a practical choice when the higher-rated Europa or Grecotel properties are unavailable during peak season in July and August. The village of Ancient Olympia is compact — the main street with tavernas, souvenir shops, and the access road to the archaeological zone occupies a small area — and all village facilities are walkable from the hotel. The Best Western brand affiliation means that Best Western Rewards loyalty programme members can earn and redeem points on qualifying stays. For wider regional exploration, the coastal town of Pyrgos (20 km west) offers car-hire options and a wider range of shops, and the ancient site of Bassae with its remarkably preserved Temple of Apollo (60 km south) is a notable day excursion.
