It was one of the cheapest and most accessible options. Almost everything within the city was within a 20-30 minute walk. (Think Mount Lycabettus and The Acropolis) The staff was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this hotel. And I will be booking it when I decide to return to Athens

Exactly as I expected from previous reviews. Although the immediate area was a little seedy it was a 10 - 15 minute walk to the main tourist areas. The room had recently been painted and although it was quite dated it was fine. The only problem was that the bathroom door did not shut properly. The staff were very helpful as many have said and the breakfast was nothing special but for the price of the hotel it was adequate. Overall great value for money and I would recommend.

This is a family owned "2 *" property per the front desk staff. World travelers, we would rate it 3.5 *. For a big, international city, my wife and I stayed here for a final nite after our cruise and would Definitely do it again for the price!! We are Marriott Bonvoy members and for 1/3 the cost of the Marriott Fresh Hotel across the street, where we stayed before the cruise for 2 nites, we were more than satisfied! It is clean, efficient, average for European free breakfast, and the location is very convenient. No rooftop bar and no onsite restaurant, but several very good restaurants, bakeries, and bars rated at least 4 * by Trip Advisor, within just a few blocks away(<5 mins). Demetrius at front desk for some 21 years, is more than glad to hold your bags before checkin time (3 pm) AND after checkout(11:30 am) for FREE.

I felt the continental breakfast was one the best I've ever had. The room was quiet with great housekeeping every day. The location is close to metro stops. My only complaint was that when I asked the manager directions to the post office, he said there was no need to go, because he could sell me postcard stamps at their cost of 2 euros each. I found out later they cost 1 euro each. I felt it was a cheap con to pull on a customer who stayed 6 nights at his hotel. It showed a lack of respect for me. John from Albuquerque. December 2023.

The room was clean and comfortable! The staff were friendly and very helpful! The neighborhood however was not that great. I was a little uncomfortable going in and out. There also was a good bit of noise that could be heard throughout the night as well. Still, it is within walking distance to all of the major sites, it’s clean and the staff friendly. Just don’t go alone.
