Great hotel for a great price
Good hotel. It has everything you need at a price you can’t beat. Good shower with hot water. Clean beds. Nice balcony. Television. Close to the train station. 24 hour front desk with helpful staff. I would certainly stay again next time I’m in Athens.

The property was great but the receptionist, Sydney, made us feel so welcomed and gave great recommendations! In addition, she was helpful in answering our questions, reserving taxis, and providing great customer service.

Close to the metro. Easy access to main tourist attractions. The hotel was disappointing as not 3* standard. Just very basic room. A few ants crawling around. Damp on walls and bathroom shower a bit dangerous getting in and out. Hotel has no bar or restaurant. Night staff were very helpful in particular Vasilis.

Selected for proximity to Larissa Station - therefore airport - and didn’t disappoint. Economical option four metro stops from Syntagma. Clean room, comfortable and helpful staff. Extended stay by a night and would book there again when back in Athens.

For 2 young boys from Canada traveling around Europe this place had everything we needed. Bathroom wasn’t anything special but worked. The two twin beds were perfect for the two of us and it was nice being able to walk everywhere. There’s no where in Athens you can’t walk in less then 30 minutes. Overall it was a good stay for the money

Conditions incompatible with life!
The hotel room was as cold as a freezer; there was no central heating, and the air condition wasn’t working either. Instead of a proper blanket, we were given a thin and worn-out duvet. We visited at the end of December and couldn’t sleep all night because we were freezing. The sheets and towels are extremely old and faded, likely never replaced since the hotel first opened. The bathroom is so outdated and gives off such a dirty impression that we couldn’t even bring ourselves to use it or take a shower. Conditions are incompatible with life!
We will never visit this place again!
