Dolomites Base Camp Hotel Olympia

This a good hotel with great views over the valley. The hotel feels as a four star hotel however the food lets it down. We have had Better food in a two star which is such a shame. The hotel must be running the restaurant on a budget and even for a ski holiday the food is poor. The rooms are of a good size and well appointed. The hotel is out of town and up a hill. They have their own boot room at the Arabba lift. They will deliver and collect your gear at the start and end of your holiday which was good. However, the hill is a bind the rest of the week. As such, we would have a few drinks in town at a nice wine bar then head up the hill to the hotel for dinner. Several guests were also having issues with a very angry rude French group that made up most of the guests this week at the hotel. Just seems that when the French travel in a group they will barge through everyone including their own group. Arabba is right on the sellaronda, with Arabba fly being part of it. It is also very near the mamalada which was fun to ski and to learn about the WW1. Skiing to the hidden valley was easy from here as well. So, this is a good hotel, with not great food or location, nice staff and good rooms. Arabba having great access to the region via the first lift.

I came several times to Hotel Olympia and I always love how I feel there. It is so cozy and relaxed, but also nice and confortable. Everythins is made of wood and decorated in the typical style of the area, including the rooms. If you're lucky you can have an amazing view of the mountains even from bed! The food is excellent and the wine list is very interesting. You can find bottles for every pocket and every taste (the owner is a sommelier so they know what to pick). I love the Spa and the outdoor whirpool with the view of the mountains. If you go there at the right time you can be alone there (like me, many times). And, I love the ski depo, with boot heaters, just by the slopes. Very handy! All together it makes a perfect vacation for ski lovers (it is part of Dolomiti Superski - 1220km of connected slopes) and families with kids (in the hotel there is a playroom with many games including table tennis).

Nice hotel to stay in during our week skiing Sella Ronda. Warm welcome on arrival, good explanation of resort layout, there is a ski locker room for hotel guests near Burz chairlift, transport to & from available. Staff from reception to bar to restaurant were all very helpful, friendly & provided great service. 2nd floor room characterful in alpine/pine style, small balcony, relatively spacious room with small seating area & table, good storage space. Tended to be a bit hot overnight, heating could have been turned down a notch. Food was a highlight, good evening menu selection, 4 courses (& salad course), good wine list. Breakfast decent, excellent coffee as expected. Looked forward to returning to this hotel at the end of a hard day's skiing, spa & sauna available next door, hotel bar had a friendly ambience & Francesca made an excellent Bombardino. Would certainly consider Hotel Olympia if visiting Arabba again.

Wir sind als Skigruppe angereist und sind doch alle recht zufrieden . Was ganz toll ist ,dass wir einen Skikeller direkt am Lift benutzen können, wo jedes Zimmer einen Schrank hat für Skier und Schuhe , die dort auch noch wunderbar gewählt und getrocknet werden. Da entfällt schon mal die Schlepperei. Unser Zimmer war großzügig geschnitten mit einer kleinen Sitzecke und Balkon. Im Bad war leider nur eine Badewanne ohne Vorhang zum Duschen. Die Heizung wurde zentral geregelt und war viel zu warm . Auch haben wir uns gewundert, dass man diese nachts nicht runterfahren konnte. Was für eine Energieverschwendung. Das Bett war mir persönlich zu hart. Das Hotel ist wirklich ruhig gelegen, die Straße ist nicht störend . Was das Essen angeht gibt es da sicher unterschiedliche Geschmäcker. Sie geben sich schon sehrviel Mühe, aber teilweise sind die Gerichte kalt am Tisch und vermissen etwas Würze . Beim Frühstück haben wir auch eine Käseauswahl vermisst . Ein Scheibenkäse war ziemlich einseitig. Das Obst wurde auch nicht geschnitten angeboten , was am Tisch dann eher zu Sauerei führt . Es gibt eine Sauna und Dampfbad im Keller und einen weiteren Wellnesbereich im Nachbargebäude, zu dem aber der Zugang über den Hof und mindestens 100 Treppenstufen führt und stellenweise ist es noch Baustelle, hat aber Potential
