While it is true the area is a little run down, it is perfectly safe to walk around day and night. Like London, Athens does have areas which are run down but still safe. The hotel itself is great. Friendly staff, decent rooms and a good restaurant. For what I paid, I have no complaints!

We didn’t add the breakfast, we mainly came here due to the location on the Meteora tour which is conveniently 1/2 a block away. This place took us back to the 80’s -lol. That being said it is clean, and the staff are friendly, -this is why I rated it 4 stars. I left my necklace, I didn’t have high hopes that I’d be able to get it back but when I came back to tell them the cleaning lady brought it to the front desk and I was able to get it back. Whew! So thankful for here! They also luggage storage so that is also a plus!

The staff were kind and went out of their way to be so helpful. I can’t even describe how above and beyond they went. The area isn’t terrible, albeit kind of out of the way from the main gardens and you might pass through some sketchy areas, but not the hotels fault for that and honestly, the staff make it worth it.
