“Would not recommend”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2009
2
people found this review helpful

It's largely my fault because I wanted the cheapest hotel available but really i would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Better to pay a bit more and have some quality.
Hotel smelt of cigarettes from the reception to the rooms.
The first room we got (triple) had three single beds, it was not nice at all. I went back down and complained and the next day he gave us another room on higher floor with a balcony. It was a bit more decent but still very bad (we had to keep the balcony door open because the AC would not work).
Worse thing about this hotel is the bathroom. There is just a tap and a shower head, in a tiny room with sink and toilet. No curtains or anything to stop the water from going EVERYWHERE. We stayed for two nights and couldn't have a proper shower the whole time.
"Buffet breakfast" was toasted cheese and ham sandwiches and sweet bread.

Good point about the hotel -if it would sway you- is that is is an a great location. Just a 5 min walk from Metaxourghio (red line) station which is close to everything you'd want to see in Athens.

“Really a budget choice”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2008

I booked this hotel from one of the islands in the morning in a big rush, and chose it because it looked okay and was cheap, and I couldn't stay at the hotel I had already booked in advance for the next night. I guess you get what you pay for, as this was $83 and barely adequate. However, my teenage daughter hated it and we didn't even stay for the breakfast. The general area is not very nice, and it has the type of bathroom where the shower is over the toilet, so everything gets wet, but at least everything worked. We stayed at the Acropolis View Hotel the next night for twice as much, but it was a much happier experience. The reception was barely cordial. Next time I will search a little harder!

“Unbelievable bad, one of the worst hotel in Greece”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2008
3
people found this review helpful

We planned to stay here for a night, but we gave up staying here before the sunset.
(This hotel is also written as "Hotel Albion" in venue.com.)
1. Bathroom is too bad. The toilet system is too nice to write here. It flushes too weak to flush the stools (--), shower has no cartain, everything is too old there. No room has a bathroom for us to use.
2. They lie. There's no non-smoking room, they force us to smoke, especially in the elevator!! They said, "we can't understand. Smoke! Why not! Hey!" and tried to put the cigarette into my mouth. Naturally, there's no a/c, hair-drier.
3. It's too old to stay there. We can stay in cheap hotels/hostels/inns in SE/South Asia, but, we couldn't in this hotel. Can you understand what I say?
