My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights just before we went on a cruise and it was conveniently a 5 minute walk to the port. The staff were extremely nice. One man in particular was very helpful and told us what we should see in Athens. The room was very clean and provided extra pillows and blankets. The room had an ashtray but we couldn't smell cigarette thank goodness. The bathroom was clean and the water pressure was pretty good. There was a supermarket just down the road. The hotel also had a lift! They don't provide breakfast but you can buy it downstairs as they had a menu for food and coffee.

We selected a non-smoking preference when making the reservation but were only offered smoking rooms when we arrived late at night with no option to change hotels. Even if you are a smoker, i bet it's hard to get a good night's sleep in an ashtray, which is how this rooms felt/smelled.

We stayed at Faros 2 for two nights (September 12th and 13th). We paid 50 euros per night. The rooms are very clean and surprisingly large. For Europe we were actually shocked how big they were. The room had extra sitting area with pullout sofa. We also had a large balcony. The shower is very decent, nothing spectacular but clean. We were really happy to see the glass doors in the stand up shower. Most of the time in Greece the shower is just a part of the bathroom with no curtain at all. The AC worked excellent and not too loud. If you need internet connection, just ask at the reception and they will give you free modem to use in your room. The double bed is two twin beds put together. But it should be expected in Greece. The hotel offer a large breakfast for 6 euros which is enough to split with another person. It includes cereal, cold cuts, some vegetables, bread with different spreads, croissant, tea/coffee.jouce. The hotel is in the third street parallel to the port of Pereus, so you could walk to it. The taxi to the center of Athens (Monasteraki) is only 11 euros, which was surprisingly cheap. We didn't even bother with municipal transport, only to go to the airport where you can take bus x96 from the port. Overall, would stay at Faros again.

We arrived at approximately 1am and the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. We were only staying the one night as we were catching a cruise ship from Piraeus Port the next morning, and had wanted somewhere nearby.

The room was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of room to move and a balcony with a view of the surrounding streets.

The directions to the port given to us by reception were extremely easy and we were able to navigate our way to the terminal building without a problem.

The breakfast was an extra 6 euro per person which we didn't go in for. Instead, my husband found a nearby bakery and brought back a breakfast of very nice chocolate croissants from there.
