TL;DR
Reports about rooms at Hotel Olympic in Egypt are mixed: some guests had no issues, while many asked to change rooms because of poor condition or a mismatch with the booked category. If your room is clearly below what you paid for, ask reception for a replacement right away.
A recent traveler chose not to take the first room offered and preferred to request a change immediately because the condition seemed poor. They also noticed many other guests were doing the same, which suggests room swaps were common.
There was also the opposite experience: another guest stayed for two weeks in an Olympic-category room without any problems, so the quality may depend on the specific block or room assigned.
Another traveler highlighted the main issue: if the room you receive is below the category you paid for, it’s not just a matter of taste but a valid reason to request a different room because the booked standard was not provided.
