Great value-for-money in the heart of the city

Very friendly, service-oriented personnel! The room was decent, free minibar contents and breakfast. The location obviously great, I would say one of the best value-for-money hotels in the heart of Athens.

This hotel is a small hotel in a great location - city center (only a 5 minute walk to the Metro and 2 stops to the Acropolis). The rooms are well appointed albeit typically smaller as the hotel is in the city center. The bed was super comfortable. Great quality amenities and linens. Great water pressure in the shower. Sliding doors lead out to a large balcony with a table and 2 chairs and some plants. Breakfast was fantastic for a hotel in the city center. The staff was super sweet and extremely helpful. There are a number of great restaurants within a very short distance. I would definitely return and stay here again next trip!

Always happy to stay at the Ilisia Hotel

Friendly greeting. Clear information on facilities. Nice room for overnight stay. Breakfast, perhaps less choice than some hotels, but for me a good range of cooked food, fresh fruit, yoghurt and breads. Friendly and efficient check out. Have stayed here several times and will continue to do so.

The hotel and staff are very nice and in a great location but the room could have been in better shape. The shower head was broke and the bathroom lighting could have been better. There was some type of motor outside the room that constantly turned on and was loud. Very annoying and difficult to get to sleep!
