Reasonable family apartment

Great place for family of 5 or even 6 to stay at that doesn’t break the bank and is close to metro. It’s hard to find one room accommodations in Europe for larger families, so this was a good solution. It is a suite, separate from hotel but it’s quiet and comfortable. The bathroom is a bit dodgy but the shower is strong and the hot water is hot! There are A/C units in the two bedrooms, so we had to leave doors open at night to ensure everyone got some air throughout the apartment.

If you are traveling with kids, this is not the place for you. They moved us to an apartment building which looked like a haunted house 2 blocks away. There was no light in the hallway, no security. The fridge made a loud noise the entire night and the rooms were nothing close to the pictures advertised on Expedia. Stay away!

受付の若いお兄さんが、日本語を話してくれてびっくりしました。設備自体は狭すぎず広すぎず、手頃な感じで良かったです。値段的にもバランスが取れていると思います。屋上のレストランと朝食は結局利用しませんでしたが、駅周辺に気軽に食事できるスポットがあまりないので、利用もありだと思います。 アテネ中央駅という名前の割にあまり賑わっていないのは寂しいですが、アクセスはよく、アクロポリスなどにもさっと行けます。 空港へもサブアーバンで一本ですし、朝早い時間と遅い時間にも電車があります。総じて良い場所でした。バスタブがあるのも良いですね。

Excellent location, reight next to Subrail, Train, Bus and Taxi. Perfect for our various planned tours. Great staff, always on hand 24/7 - very helpful, clear systems checking in and very simple. Room cleaning service was outstanting, thank you. We stayed in an apartment which was 2 blocks up from main hotel and included residential - lovely little apartment though our view in the mornings from our kitchen and balcony to the right where off the adjoining hotel roof which is redundant and used as a old rubbish store - not a nice view eaxh morning and if this was taken away would make a huge difference to our stay. Loved the location for access to stores, cafe, restauarants and gym.
