This is an apartment not a hotel. If I wanted to spend a night in the slums I would have stayed in Omonia. I booked it, looked at the rooms and ran. I can't believe that this is rated a 4 star, that is false. I would have rather paid the extra hundred somewhere else than stayed here with one eye open.

Having read previous reviews, I was very skeptical about booking to stay at the Apollonia Hotel Apartments but as we were traveling on a very tight budget, we didn't really have much choice as to where we could stay so we decided to take a risk with this one. We stayed 3 nights, and I am happy to report that the place wasn't all bad. If you want to visit central Athens, then it is not ideal as the hotel is located approximately 30 minutes drive from the city centre but if you are looking for a coastal holiday then the location is great. The hotel is in a quiet residential area and is a 10 minute walk from the main strip where there are some nice restaurants, a nice bakery and a nice beach. The place is dated and basic and could do with an overall refurbishment, but the pool was nice and the reception staff helpful with booking taxis and telling us how to get to different places. Didn't come across any mosquitoes until the last night when I did get bitten in my sleep which was really annoying.
So if you need to stay somewhere and you are on a budget then I would say go for this place, but if you are looking for any sort of luxury then definatly look elsewhere.

I stayed at this hotel whilst waiting for an international flight. Firstly, there is no particularly good reason to go to this area. The beach and waterfront is pleasant enough but not really worth the effort. The hotel room was not very well lit, and seemed to be very old and dated. The shower was so hot you could barely use it. There were a multitude of mosquitos in my room which stopped me from sleeping. The pool area is quite nice, and the breakfast was pretty good. A five euro taxi ride to the bus stop and a 30 minute bus ride which wasn't too bad.

We've visit this hotel for 3 days in June 2008 and stayed in a suite. The place was very quiet and clean.
Room service and reception was not the great advantage of the hotel.
The rooms were old-fashioned but we had no problem at all.
Hotel is near the Varkiza beach.
