“Dont stay there! Hotel is located in a terrible sleazy and unsafe neighbourhood”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2009

Stayed in this hotel on our the last night in greece, having come back from Santorini. We thought of saving some money and decided to try out this hotel (ard 50 euros per night) which is very cheap compared to staying at Hotel Electra hotel (155euros per night) during the start of our holiday.

We took the train from the airport to Omonia metro station. On the way to finding the hotel, we saw people lying on the streets half drunk, groups of police petrolling and asking the men on the street for IDs, alot of what seems to be immigrants (illegal or not??). We felt very unsafe. And the hotel is not that easy to find. We asked a policeman for help. He is very kind to show us directions while being on duty. He and his fellow colleagues were rounding up a group of immigrants..(from what i can tell).

The hotel is decent for 3stars if you dont bring any expectations there. Bfast is not very appetizing. Cold hard boiled eggs, bread, cornflakes, plain yoghurt only. The juice is very diluted. But i guess what can i expect for the price we paid? Glad we only stayed there for one night.

Location to other places is ok. 10mins to train station. But from the airport, you got to change train. Not so conveient if you are carrying a lots of bags.

Location comparing to Hotel Electra (at Sytagma Square), Hotel Electra is much better.

Throughout our stay, we have to be extra careful and stay out of the way if we see any funny characters in our pave. On the other hand, this area has the most number of police patrolling 24hours than any other place in athens as far as we can tell. So does it make it safer???

However i would recommend staying in another hotel in a safer location. It is not worth saving the money and compromising your own safety.

“Great value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2009

We stayed for two nights and found the rooms to be cheap, clean and exactly what we were looking for. They are very basic, but the hotel was easy to find and the staff at the 24hr front desk were very helpful with our trip planning. We didn't have any problems with the location and didn't feel unsafe at all, in fact we enjoyed the liveliness of the local streets during the day.

“50 50”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2009

the area that this hotel is situated at is full of holigans and prostitutes..if ur a female they will be staring at you like never b4.
bt the rooms are very clean and they always clean ur room. So thats a big plus point.
I like the room cuz u gt everything from hairdyer to a balcony... lol
but the staff r very unfriendly specially the man.. lol hes proper rude at the begining but i think he will get better after few days... just keep smiling to him...hhehe

The breakfast buffet is just fine but they always serve the same thing.... coffee, bread, eggs, honey, conflakes, yougurt, sometimes fruit(melon), buns and cake....
but im telling you for definit u will get bored of this if ur staying up to abt a week....

Ohh yeh.. at night therz so many wired noises.... maybe its cuz of the area its at...
The hotel is not far from the metro which is usefulll....
But i liked their cleanness and equipements (furniture) that they had...

Overall I think its a good place to stay at as its value for price but gots its few downs...
If you're deciding to stay there i would say go for it just dont talk to the staff and dont listen to noises at night. :)

“Perhaps central, but not appealing!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2009

Although this hotel is within walking distance from the Omonia metro station, which is only 2 stops from the Plaka area and Acropolis, the location is not highly desirable. The hotel is fairly clean, the staff are unfriendly and somewhat unhelpful. I certainly wouldn't recommend it for female travellers - in groups or alone. You wouldn't want to be walking home in this area any time after dark. Perhaps it was fairly good value for money, but then Athens is pretty expensive now so the Euro doesn't get you much!

“Safe, central, clean, budget price, family hotel, free internet in rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2009

person found this review helpful

This hotel wasn't as bad as those on the north of Omonia Sq, where I spotted prostitutes at lunch-time. I was about to book Claridge hotel before going for this one, and that was a good move: it was at Claridge that I saw them and got looked at myself as if I were one. The area is mixed, with emigrants and a street market on Sundays, and feels slightly unsafe, but we were fine. The hotel was clean, breakfast ok with nice greek yoghurt, honey, boiled eggs, olives and coffee cakes that you could toast. People staying here were mainly families or middle-aged couples from Eastern Europe, which made me feel safe. The reception staff were nice and helpful. You get free wi-fi internet in your room. It's central, which was great, 20 min walk from Syntagma / Monastiraki / Acropolis, and I think overall it offered good value for money. They even kept our bags in storage while we travelled away for an over-night tour. I would recommend this, if you find no better deal. I'm not sure if I would have stayed here without a boyfriend though, because of the street feel in the evenings and the stares.
