"Hotel:
average Location: poor"
The Novotel has very friendly staff at the desk (Lia was my
contact, she was very nice) however Location:
on Michael Voda Street (6 minute walk from the Larissa Train
& Subway Station) is OK in the day; but at night can be
dodgy- so dont recommend walking after dark.
The
restaurants are 2- up by the pool (garden cafe, and the one
by the lobby). Food is average and perhaps overpriced (about
Euro 15 for an entree)
The
rooms are old, and although I got a special deal of Euro 83
on the net; the standard rate was Euro 140 and that is HIGH
for this propoerty. [At the time of writing this the Holiday
Inn was offering Euro 99 which is much better value]
+++
point
The pool on the terrace is amazing; with a view of Piraeus
port on one side and the ruins of the Acropolis looming large
in front. If you are not really one for ruins, an afternoon
by pool will give you free access t the acropolis :)
The
hotel is not bad, but I won't be selling it to you for a business
trip or a romantic getaway. It may serve your purpose if you
are with a group of 20+ and on a educational / sports trip. |

"rooftop
pool with acropolis view!"
The Novotel Athenes conforms to the standard expected for the
Novotel chain. Our room was spacious and equipped with a comfortable
bed, satellite TV, balcony and a good ensuite bathroom.
The
reception staff spoke faultless English, and were very helpful.
The rooftop pool is probably the best feature of the hotel
being a great place to cool off after a day of sightseeing
or simply to enjoy a great view over Athens.
The
hotel is a 10 minute walk from the Omonia metro station. The
walk always seemed safe though the surrounding area seemed
a little messy and seedy in places. |

Plaka
Area |
| |
As
soon as you start walking around Plaka's stone-paved, narrow streets,
you will have the feeling that you are travelling back in time. This is
Athens' oldest and, thanks to the restoration efforts which went into
its buildings in recent years, most picturesque neighbourhood. You will
be delighted by the beauty of the neo-classical colours of its houses,
their architecture, their lovingly tended little gardens, the elegance,
and the total atmosphere of the area. In Plaka, even the air is different;
lighter, clearer, scented, like a gift from the gods. More
