FantasticStayed with kids
room 606, comfortable beds, no bed bugs, corner room, top floor, ac cold, balcony absolutely huge incredible balcony; amazing front desk staff that remembers us staying there through the years… very beautiful and kind front desk manager or owner in the mornings. Only downfall is the cigarette smoke everywhere; as non- smokers it is beyond brutal and we had trouble breathing and sleeping because of it! However it’s our go to hotel ANYTIME we are in the area! Thank you! Great job for housekeeping keeping the rooms spotlessly clean!

FantasticStayed with family · For friends and family
Our stay was very good. The room was ready earlier than scheduled. Check in was polite and hassle free. Room was clean, secure and well lit. Also had refrigerator.
Shame the adjacent restaurant had closed. Looked like it had been a very nice place to eat. We chose this hotel for easy access to train and subway station. Grocery store also within walking distance which has a walk away breakfast-coffee counter inside.

Staffs are friendly. Nice and clean room.
The male staff at the front desk helped me to find taxi at 0230 in the morning. As a solo traveler and as a female, this is such a big help for my safety. Thank you very much Socrates.

Below averageStayed with family
The room was not clean. We found ants in the bathroom that were spreading into the room. On colder days, we tried to use the radiator (which was actually an air conditioning unit), but it didn’t work. The next day, we found a dead cockroach in the bathroom, which made us feel that the space wasn’t properly cleaned.
Additionally, the place needs improvements as it does not look like the pictures advertised, and there are no photos of the bathroom, which feels misleading.
We originally booked for five nights, but due to these issues, we decided to leave early and booked another place for the last two nights. We only stayed three nights instead of the full stay we had planned.

GoodSolo stay
Can't really complain given the cost.
Location was good, very close to Larissa station and only a 10 minute metro away from Syntagma square. Surrounding area isn't as bad or sketchy as other reviews suggest imo.
Room did smell of smoke initially but I had a balcony so smell went away after having the door open for a while.
Had to pay for water out of a vending machine in reception which was slightly obnoxious but only 50 cent a bottle.
Also, Expedia led me to believe that the city tax was included in the booking but I was still charged 15 euro on site.
Staff were friendly. Room was bare minimum but functional. Would probably use again as a budget option if I wanted to stay in Athens.

Can hear the traffic very loud, can't sleep well at night.
Bed is just ok.
The shower room is really small that you doesn't know how to sit on the toilet.
Location is 35 minutes walk to Athens centre Which is quite good for us
A convenient shop of next to the hotel but just another next street is mini supermarket. And on Wednesday has street market .
