“Fine for a couple of nights”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2010

This was my last stop on my recent trip to Greece. I stayed in the Annex, kitty corner to the Oscar Inn. Just up the alley from the Inn. I was a bit scared after reading the reviews. Though I was pleasantly surprised to find the room clean. The bathroom's in all of the hotels I stayed in on my visit to Greece were small, with showers barely able to fit one petite person. All were clean though.
The hotel is located near a subway stop, which is handy to get to downtown Athens, where all of the shopping and restaurants and tourist attractions are located. If I make it back to Athens, I would stay closer to this area, as you're not able to access the area without taking a subway ride or cab ride from this hotel. The hotel is also located across the street from a large market. The subway was also fairly new, created in 2004, I was told. I found it easy to get around and the subways and stations clean, considering it's a major city.
The food in the hotel restaurant wasn't good - not terrible, just not worth the time, money or calories, and there are so many other good places to eat in Athens. The staff of the hotel was fine, average, not unfriendly or rude, yet not outgoing either. Just not as knowledgable of certain toursit attractions as I would have thought.

“Would not stay here again.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2010

The hotel itself was nice, outdated a bit, but still nice. However, it was overrun with teens running around and making all kinds of ruckus in the hotel. It was very disappointing and frustrating. I even at one point had to step into the hallway and ask them to keep it down. Also, the breakfast was less than desirable. The hotel is located in close proximity to the metro, but the location feels a bit sketchy, especially at night. I would recommend booking somewhere else if you have the choice.

“Just O.K.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2009

Booked this with a Gate 1 trip and it is just O.K. Near train station and 1/2 block from Metro station (use the Metro--nice and efficient)
BE SURE TO ASK TO STAY IN THE "ANNEX" --Since the hotel is part remodeled and part just old and nasty---Cater to groups( 25++) of school children and teenagers fill the loby when you arrive. The elevator is sized for two people and one is always NOT working. The staff is nice and friendly and speak English well. Other than the historic sights--Athens is too large---too hot--too crowded---and dirty. Be sure to see the Benaki Museum near the Parliment and the changing of the guards. (just a 3-4 block walk around the corner)

“Very average hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2009

There were 2 good things about this hotel. 1. It was a minute walk to the Larissa subway station and 2. They had a full breakfast. Other than that, I can't say there was anything I would recommend about this hotel. The staff were not very nice. They had an attitude about everything they were asked for. Oh and when you get to the room, there is a disclaimer about leaving personal things of value in the room. OK...but then they don't give you a safe box and to make matters worse, they make you pay if you choose to get a safe with them.

“Great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2008

I have been visiting Athens and staying at the Oscar hotels since 1995. The Oscar Hotel is a great value based on the following: location, cleanliness, safety and staff. Every year the improve on various features while the price remains very competitive. Bathroom and room size as adequate for European standards and American big city standards. Their full breakfast is better than most downtown other hotels. The roof garden is a small oasis to the busy city. The hotel has parking, a rarity in Athens and has had internet access since 2003. Overall I have recommended this hotel chain (includes the Oscar Inn and Oscar II) to friends and colleagues. The Oscar Inn and Oscar II are owned by the same company but may have various features

  • Liked — location and cleanliness
  • Disliked — noisy street
