“A good attempt at a nice hotel, they just seemed to have missed some the details.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

Stayed for 3 nights during early February. The girls on the front desk were friendly and always helped out by providing umbrellas and directions. The rooms were fine, though not luxurious at all.

The area isn't great, especially feels a little unsafe at night (though it may not have been, it was just a feeling!).

It was very cheap though and within walking distance of plaka and the acropolis :)

“Comfortable and simple”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

Reasonably sized rooms, comfortable beds, a decent bathroom. Free, easy wi-fi. Everything here is kind of average. The bathroom works but there is no walk-in shower or any great features. The lobby is a good space with a lot of furniture looking out of huge windows on to the street. The lobby bar is average. The restaurant is cheap and serves average food. Breakfast is passable, with average offerings of self-serve machine espresso, tinned fruit, pastries and eggs. Service is average, friendly enough.

This hotel won't turn your head, but equally it won't turn you off. It'll do.

“Value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed there for six nights starting the 31st of December. The location was not a problem for me, since I know the area well. We got a great price for New Year's Athens so we skipped the fact that the hotel isn't close to the metro. Our room had a Parthenon view which cannot be bitten. The breakfast was great but the room was not extremely clean.
The reason that would make me not go back though -unless the price wasn't so good- would be the constant noise, probably coming from the ventillation. It didn't stop even after we changed room and, although not very loud, sometimes it was really annoying.

Room Tip: Ask for Acropolis view and a room with minimum ventillation noise.

“The only problem is the location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

We stayed there for one night. It's a nice clean hotel in a good price. A variety of breakfast items is offered and the staff are polite. The complimentary wine, water and fruit waiting in the room are a nice touch.In my opinion, the only problem is the location. If you just follow the address you might get confused as it is located in a very busy street. We found difficult to cross the street when we realized we were on the wrong side of it. It's not far from the city centre but it's a 10-minute walk from the nearest Metro station. I can't tell whether it is safe to walk there late at night. Another thing is that the couldn't provide an early check-in even if our stay was off-season. All in all, I believe that this choice is a good one if you don't want to spend much money but you need a clean room with a good breakfast.

Room Tip: Higher floors are quieter.

“Short stay but nice and value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

We only stayed there for one night, and we didn't try their breakfast as we had a very early flight...but our short stay was very pleasant...the staff is very friendly and helpful...the room is a bit cozy but clean, the view was nice...the roof has an acropolis view...the location is great...as it's 2metro stations away from Omonia square(shopping district,check out there Ermou street) & 3stations away from Sygmanta square which is the center of Athens with exchange bureaus & tram & bus stops...it's also a great value for money...we stayed at first in Glyfada at SeaView hotel which was too far from downtown & very modest for the same budget..also, near by there's a marvelous local bakery/patisserie called Konstantinides where you can try Greek desserts and delicious cheap ice cream
