Hotels Near Center of Hellenic Tradition in Athens

I don’t know if it was because my flight was late and I checked into the hotel early in the morning. The room was arranged in the inner circle on the first floor. The window was in the patio. I couldn’t see the sun and the sky. The air was not good. The bathroom door got stuck once and couldn’t be opened. I have claustrophobia. I felt very bad👎, but the front desk responded quickly and tried to help. The restaurant is in the basement and there is no sunshine for breakfast. The breakfast is quite satisfactory. Freshly ground coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice are extra points. The hotel is very small, the front desk people are very nice, and the rooms are very new. The location is good, but it is recommended to take a taxi when checking in for the first time. It is difficult to find the location in the alley. The alleys in Athens are all crooked. After getting familiar with it, the location is very good👍

Excellent value for money hotel in a fantastic location just a few minutes walk from Athens’ most visited spots. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and spacious and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. No tea/coffee making facilities but I don’t know if that’s normal in Athens, but there is a fridge and great air conditioning. Then roof top bar in their sister hotel Plaka is well worth a visit. Highly recommend.

My second visit to Athens, this hotel was in a perfect location near everything we wanted to visit. Breakfast was good, staff were amazing and the hotel was very secure after a certain time the automatic doors locked and you could only get in with your key card. We booked the junior suite with the acropolis view it did not disappoint. They had shutters on the doors and windows so the sun didn’t hit you first thing in the morning. The cleaners was amazing they had been cleaning our room twice a day so we left them at tip at end of our visit. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting this beautiful city

The staff was very attentive and pleasant, one of the receptionists speaks Spanish very well. One morning we left early for a flight and they packed us a to-go box. It has good views from the roof top.

Negative points:Breakfast buffet has less variety of food. It needs to include fruit squeezer and fried eggs. Black people stay nearby. Positive points: location is very good with 2 metro stations, especially omonia where 2 metro lines interact. They are very helpful for tourist to visit interesting places like acropolis. Staff service is excellent. Indian restaurants nearby offer delicious but cheaper food.

Minus: The toothbrush holder looked very dirty, I would probably give it a deep clean. There were some signs of mold in the shower and the toilet paper holder was loose from the wall. The rain shower head lived a life of its own, very inconsistent with how the water came out, it also took time for the water to warm up. If you care about noise, don't get a room with a street view, the windows really weren't soundproof at all. The location is a bit sketchy at night. I would also recommend the hotel to advertise to people not to waste food at the breakfast buffet because there was A LOT of it by others when we were there. This is a big thing for hotels in the north. Pros: The room looked quite newly renovated. Seems like the hotel was under renovation because when we were there it was a completely different style from the breakfast room to the room. It's probably going to be very pretty when it's finished. Plus for the minibar and kettle in the room. Plus for a separate toilet room and shower room. Great view from the balcony in the room and from the roof terrace. Great, down to earth staff. Also a very good breakfast, I have stayed in many different hotels and this is one of the best breakfasts in Europe for me.

BEWARE of Rip off by Tour Operator - Destination Services - for Pre Tour Accommodation!! We booked 5 day Greece, Nafplion, Olympia, Delphi Tour via Tour Radar website. We requested tour operator for one night pre tour accommodation in the same hotel from where the tour was starting. Price quoted was 143 Euros. When I checked via ***********, the price was - wait!! Only 54 Euros! What!! When I queried with Tour Radar and with Tour Operator, I got the unbelievable excuse stating that the tour operator booked the hotels via 12 month contract!! What? Are you kidding? Should that make it cheaper or 2.5 time more expensive!! So I booked directly with the same hotel. But Tour Operator - Destination services - refused to pick us up from the airport unless we paid extra even though airport transfers were included in the price we paid for the tour!! Another, misleading advertising is on Tour Radar website for the tour. When I booked the tour for 2 persons sharing a room, the price I paid was around 9% more than advertised on Tour Radar website. When I queried, I was told that the advertised price was for 3 persons sharing a room!! What? Is that not false advertising? The tour itself was ok except for a few major and minor issues. The TV did not work in one of the hotels and when I checked with reception I just got ‘Sorry’. The tour bus dropped us off 100 metres from our hotel and we had to carry all our luggage along the pavement to the hotel. Our tour guide, while very knowledgeable, was very grumpy, and told us off for asking simple logistics questions. On the other hand, the tour guide for Athens tour and Acropolis was excellent and explained the history really well. Each morning in Athens we lost more than an hour as buses picked up participants from various hotels and we all waited for ‘exchange’ of passengers between buses. On the positive side, the breakfast and dinners at the hotels in Olympia and Delphi were very good. Also, I received prompt responses to my queries by the tour operator. In summary, the tour itself is ok but BEWARE of the tour operator OVERCHARGING significant Euros for pre tour accommodation because they feel they have captive audience. I suggest that you do your own research and compare the prices for the hotel on the internet.

Really good hotel, close too the centre of athens. Around 20 mins walk to the centre so not so bad. The hotel itself is budget but we loved it, cost room, aircon, TV, bathroom with amazing shower. I would highly recommend this hotel. Perfect base for city exploring. The staff were nice and friendly and the cleaners were nice.

It is a very clean and good facility. It was very nice to be able to stay in such a good facility for such a low price. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the city by subway. However, if you can stay in such a clean and good facility, it is not a problem at all. The manager keeps in touch and checks if there is anything you need. I had to go to the airport early in the morning, but they prepared a pick-up vehicle for me, so I came comfortably.
