Perfect location. This was our second stay. Same price. The first stay we had a 5th floor balcony with a city view. On this second stay, same room type was booked, but this time the room was smaller and the balcony had no view. The view is terrific, so if this is important to you, negotiate accordingly.

2 min from metro station which was great for reaching the town centre. The metro lines are really well connected . Was a little bit nousy at night, but if you are a heav sleeper it won t bother you. One of the blancket was dirty, but they did change the sheets daily. For the price, location can t really complain. The reception staff were very kind and helpful

You get what you pay for, staff are nice and helpful, the rooms are basic and bathrooms are small and a little cramped. But for location and convenience if you are travelling by train it is a great stay. A short 20-30 minute stroll into central Athens, although if walking at night stick to the main roads.

A good cheap hotel close to Larissa/athens train station. Its beds are a bit hard and bathroom is a bit small but the aircon worked for us and it was cheap. One of the receptionists- Stefan was really nice! If you want a cheap place in a good travel location without a hefty price tag then this is the place for you!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place itself was nice, however, the area was sketchy at best. It’s not that hotels fault that public transit is absolute garbage, but it should be noted because it is super close to the central train terminal. So you might think that’s helpful for getting around. It’s not. If you’re adventurous enough, I recommend renting a car, using a good maps system, and paying for insurance. The people who ran this hotel were super nice, I need to reiterate this, because it seems like I didn’t like the overall stay. They were great
