โGreen Suites Boutique Hotel: A 5-Star Masterpieceโฆ of Disappointmentโ
Ah, Green Suites Boutique HotelโAthensโ finest display of how creative marketing can turn three-star reality into five-star fiction. I was excited to see if the hotel would live up to its self-awarded rating, but spoiler alert: it didnโt.
Letโs start with the location. If you enjoy urban adventure tourism, this is the place for you. The โboutique experienceโ begins as soon as you step outside, where the sights, sounds, and aromas of the neighborhood offer a truly immersive experienceโthink โgritty charmโ meets โwhy am I here?โ
As someone who builds and works with real five-star establishments, I can confidently say that this isnโt one. But hey, whatโs a few missing stars between friends? The spirit of five-star luxury is thereโjust in the way that instant coffee reminds you of an artisanal espresso.
The hotel itself? A masterclass in cost-cutting ingenuity. Everything is extra, because why include luxury when you can charge for it? Need something slightly above budget-airline-level amenities? Thatโll be extra. Want to feel like youโre staying somewhere exclusive? Thatโll require strong imagination.
And then thereโs the restaurant. If the same mystical being that handed out their five-star rating decides to start throwing Michelin stars around, wellโbrace yourselves. I can only assume itโll be for their pioneering work in the field of mediocrity.
Overall, Green Suites is the perfect place for anyone w
