COLORS Hotel Athens
Enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The staff was welcoming, nice and helpful with suggestions and assistance. The rooms were clean and nice. The only issue I had was the shower that had no cortin and each shower the room and everything in it was wet.

This is a pretty basic hotel. It is rather new but simple. Our room 103 had no proper or enough lighting. We were unable to sleep because the room was sprayed with an extremely strong odor. Value for money is very low considering how basic and barely comfortable this place is.

Big family room, great roof top bar and pool area - better than those in the city centre. Great breakfast. Only downside was the loud banging and maintenance work being done in the early hours / mornings. Would have been nice to have known this before arriving to see about moving rooms or changing ...

The roof top terrrace is a beautiful place for breakfast and night viewing. The staff were particularly helpful. Coffee at breakfast was the only disappointment.
