“Elegant Hotel in a Luxurious and Quite Neighborhood”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

The Y Hotel in Kifissia neighborhood is just beautiful. The hotel offers elegant and spacious rooms that anyone would enjoy. The rooms are clean and the service was excellent.

I stayed at the Y hotel for four nights during a business trip and I had a room with a little balcony with a view of the back garden. I enjoyed my stay and the hotel was conveniently located. This brings the discussion of the location. While the hotel is quite far from the city's main attractions, a bus from Kifissia's main bus station will take you three in around 25 minutes for only 1 or 1.5 Euros. So I had no problems going to the city and visiting the main attractions. Kifissia has its own advantages as well. There you will have many nice shops as well as restaurants to enjoy and relax.

The breakfast was really good and the buffet included several breakfast dishes which I enjoyed. Even there is a lady who would come to your table and ask you if you like any coffee or tea. She would serve you in you want something to drink.

The only thing I had at this hotel is the insulation. I wasn't there during a weekend, but I assume that it will be too noisy at night because the hotel lacks the proper insulation. You would hear people walking in the corridor outside very easily.

To sum up, this is a nice hotel in a nice hotel. The price is convenient and the breakfast is just excellent.

Room Tip: You may consider the insulation problem but I still recommend the hotel.

Dear Guest,
Thank you so much for your kind words!
We are all happy to hear that you had a good time in our city and during your stay at The Y hotel.
Noisy "neighbors"are something we cannot of course control but the insulation issue mentioned is taken into serious consideration as we strive to become better and offer high quality services.
Hope to have you back next time you visit Athens.
Kind regards,
Chryssa Zarifopoulou

“Check into a little bit of heaven.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I have been a guest to this wonderful "little" hotel on my frequent trips to Greece from the days it was known as Hotel Katerina,a Best Western hotel.Not much to say about it back then except that it was run down,noisy,the beds well worn and lumpy and the tiny bathrooms were horendious(could hardly close the door when sitting on the can.The only thing that kept me coming back for more were the wonderful people involved in running the place.They just made me feel so welcome and would always go out of their way to make me feel special and as comfortable as the environment permitted back then.
That's all changed today.The hotel was renovated from top to bottom 3 years ago and what they created was a beautiful"butique hotel"environment,very personal and with good taste.The only thing that didn't change was the staff of which I was very happy about.Such happy faces full of life and energy willing to radiate their aura to you.
The breakfast which is included in the rate is definately the richest and most diverse I've ever had in Greece.Espresso etc.served at your request at no extra charge.
Their snacks,such as the club sandwich is just heavenly and only 8 euros as I recall.Check in to a little heaven fellow travellers!

Room Tip: All the rooms are well located quiet and well climatized.Have tryed most of them.

“Stylish hotel in a great area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Y hotel is a very nice hotel. Stylish! A hotel you feel like home the very first moment you set a foot into it.
The rooms are stylish and some of them (or maybe all, I don't know) have balconies. The people working in the hotel are very nice and trying to help wherever they can.
And what was a very nice suprise is that the breakfast was so great. Fresh orange juice, a big selection of cheeses, ham etc. and everything was a very good quality.
The hotel is in a nice area with lots of restaurants and bars.
The only thing is that it takes you about 1 hour to get to the center by train. Still it is cheap, costs 2.80 Euro there and back.

Room Tip: Room 309 had a balcony.

“Very average”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011 via mobile

people found this review helpful

Very average hotel. Best thing was the location and the Internet everywhere.

Rooms were basic and the Walls are very thin. My room had a dodgy bathroom light (which was fixed when I complained) and on the first day my room wasn't cleaned well (bed sheets made poorly). Throughout towels weren't replaced and I had to call reception to get some (they removed the old ones)

Breakfast was ok...
