Great short term stay for 2 nights. Stayed at family room. Comfortable, clean. The promises are good and the location excellent. Next to both shopping and beach. Only minor was the street noise when occasionally, motorcycles would rev up their engines.

Disappointed in Glyfada.

The hotel room was very dated, We spend 3 nights in a very uncomfortable 2" hard mattress, The bathroom is dated, No shampoo or conditioner, only body soap in an empty dispenser a single unit for body soap only. Luckily we had our own hair products. We walked with bare feet to a very dirty floor we didn't realize how dirty it was until we looked at the bottom of our feet. Nothing like the Brochure, We were very disappointed, for the money we expected better accommodations. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, The lobby is updated and clean.

I stayed at this hotel for four nights and was overall quite disappointed. The main issue is the completely outdated interior. The room looked like something straight out of the 1980s – dark wooden furniture, old-fashioned curtains, and an overall charm of a long-gone era. The bathroom wasn’t any better: worn-out fixtures, yellowed tiles, and barely any space to put your toiletries. For a supposedly 4-star hotel, this is unacceptable – realistically, it’s barely 2-star standard. The room was definitely not worth €160 per night. What was particularly surprising was that housekeeping staff aren’t even provided with proper cleaning carts. Fresh bed linens and towels are transported through the hallways using supermarket shopping carts – this looks neither professional nor well-organized. On the positive side, the cleanliness was excellent, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. Both of these points deserve recognition. Unfortunately, they’re not enough to make up for the clearly outdated condition of the hotel. If you’re looking for modern comfort and good value for money, you’d be better off booking elsewhere.

Clueless About Service

My stay at this hotel was marked by an absolute lack of water — no shower, no flushing toilet, no sink water. Apparently a city pipe had burst and they couldn’t predict when it would be repaired. I understand that this was a crisis outside the hotel’s control. What I don’t understand was their total lack of customer service and efforts to assist guests. They were inflexible with the pool hours — unwilling to allow water-starved guests to enter the pool before 10:30 am. They offered bottled water, but only provided two bottles per room — hardly enough for a sponge bath. No buckets of water for toilet flushing. Asked about compensation for the inconvenience, the answer was “none.” Then they proceeded to collect 3 Euros additional tax upon check out. No offer of complimentary breakfast, partial refund, credit toward future stays, etc. Do not stay at this hotel. While the water will eventually be restored, their total lack of appreciation for customer service will surely manifest itself in other ways. And, as noted in an earlier review the attractive lobby is misrepresentative of the shabby, tired rooms upstairs. The staff members were pleasant and polite, but obviously controlled by an owner and managers with no understanding of effective business practices.
