"Great
central location"
A friend and I shared a twin room here in October 2006. We thought
the hotel was easy to find, it's located near to Syntagma Square
where you can easily get buses, trams and trains. All the sights
are within easy walking distance. We didn't find the location
to be at all noisy as the hotel was located off a side street.
I'd say
the hotel offers fairly basic but comfortable accommodation.
The shower door was broken, but the shower itself was not
so we managed ok! I was impressed with the cleanliness of
the room and bathroom - and I'm hard to please. There were
no tea/coffee making facilities in the room which was a disappointment
as I don't like to face the public on a morning til I've had
my cup of tea :-)
Breakfast
was a self selection of DIY toast, jams, bread, scrambled
eggs, hot dog type sausages, ham, cheese, fruit, cereal, fruit
juices and tea/coffee. The lady in charge of breakfast was
a bit ferocious if you made a bit of a mess - watch out for
her!!
All
in all, I'd recommend it, after all there are so many things
to see in Athens, you'll spend hardly any time in your room
anyway, so we found it value for money. |

"Good
location"
I had read reviews that made me a bit nervous to stay here but
we had no problems.
The location was good. We were able to walk to a few places
and the trains/buses/trams were an easy 5 minute walk.
We stayed here at the start of a 3 month trip. We had a family
room (2 adults, 2 children). The main room had a double bed
and desk. It was small but had enough cupboard space for us
all. The middle room had 2 singles in it. It was good having
privacy.
The breakfast was good. Enough variety to suit everyone in our
family.
We didn't spend much time in the hotel as we were only in Athens
for 3 days.
We had no problems with the staff, they were friendly enough. |

"Not
a bad home base in Athens (but could be better!)"
We stayed in this hotel for three nights on our Honeymoon -
2 at the beginning of our trip to Greece, and one on our last
night before heading to the airport for home. Overall, we would
stay again - it was in a very convenient location, and since
we were mostly out seeing the sights, we didn't need anything
fancy!
PROs: location, price, friendly staff, decent breakfast
CONs: some rooms are tiny, beds were not comfortable!
Our first stay, we mentioned that it was our honeymoon, and
they "upgraded" us to a room with a balcony - which sounded
great until we saw that the balcony had no furniture and looked
out over an abandoned building with broken windows, etc.
We got a good laugh out of the tiny elevator - we couldn't both
fit in with our luggage, and had to ride separately. When the
elevator stops at your floor you need to push the door open
- my new husband didn't realize this, and after a trip to our
floor, ended up back in the lobby with me!
Our room was TINY - barely a foot of space around each side
of the bed. The shower was also tiny, but fine for us. The worst
part for us was that the bed was rock hard. After a long flight,
we slept pretty soundly anyway, but I was ready for a nice bed
when we left.
Our second stay, the front desk said they were disappointed
that they couldn't upgrade us again - we didn't care as we were
there for one short night. Our "standard" room was at least
double the size of the "honeymoon" room! No balcony, but two
double beds, a large bathroom, and tons of extra space! Next
time we'd be sure to ask for one of these rooms instead! |

"Good
location, poor attitude"
The front desk staff never smiled or acknowledged anyone in
the lobby area. Check-in was cold, and we were rushed on our
way at check-out. Fortunately, the location is ideal for touring.
The halls are not carpeted, which can make for a loud night
with people coming and going at all hours. |

"Relatively
quiet"
+ Relatively
quiet, although in the center of the city
- "Greek
standard" shower cabin, very small, can cause flooding if not
cautious. |
