Location is very ghetto, as is the whole of Athens downtown. It's a 40 minutes walk to Acropolis. Rooms are super small, no hallway so you literally walk in from the buiding stairwell directly into into the bedroom. There is no hair dryer. Leaky shower, plumbing seems to fall apart, self check in/out. Loud disco music deep into the night.

Noisy and dirty. Never saw anyone at the reception desk in the entrance, but could call the number on the handwritten note on the front door to get in instructions for the room key. Couldn’t find a do not disturbe sign -that didn’t matter though, as there was no cleaning of the room for the eight nights I stayed. Room was not clean on arrival and bathroom smelled of sewer. After the first couple of days I was curious to see how long it would take before room would be cleaned. It never happened and I bought toilet paper myself when the provided roll ran out. No information of any kind in the room except from WiFi password. The bed was good and aircon worked well. Many mosquitoes during night even with windows closed and plenty of small ants. Very noisy from the outside area and from neighbours and other floor guests. Calling it a hotel is an exaggeration, no services of any kind or shared lobby area or anything. Just rooms.

The property was decent but the surrounding area was awful. Needless to say, that’s not the hotel’s fault, but would not recommend it for that reason.

Kısa süreli seyahatler için düşünülebilir.

Omonia Meydanı'na ve ulaşım hatlarına çok yakın, merkezi bir otel. Kaldığımız oda küçüktü ama işimizi gördü. Oda ve banyo temizdi. Banyodaki metal raf epey küflenmişti, değiştirilmesi gerekiyor. Yatak da çok konforlu diyemem, yatınca içine çok fazla gömülüyorsunuz ve sırt ağrısına sebep oluyor. 2 gece kaldığımız için çok büyük sıkıntı olmadı, fakat daha uzun kalsaydık çok sıkıntı çekerdik. Bunun dışında günlük oda temizliği, otele giriş-çıkış kolaylığı açısından memnun kaldık.

Hôtel propre prés du métro

Le personnel est sympathique. L'hôtel est propre et confortable le seul bémol c'est qu'à partir du vendredi jusqu'au dimanche en bas il y a de la musique du bars d'en face jusqu'à très tard le soir 4h du coup impossible de dormir. La dame nous a fait changer de chambre pour les deux dernière nuits pour avoir un peu moins de nuisance sonore vu que nous avons séjourné du vendredi au lundi dans l'hôtel. La chambre avec balcon n'est vraiment pas la même que sur les photos du site concernant le balcon.

Just don't

We only found the hotel because of the taxi driver pointing it out. It has the tiniest sign and is hidden down a small walkway. The area the hotel is in is not a safe one. Riot police are always in the area as they are trying to clean it up. Check in was easy, but although the receptionist was friendly, she was quite negative about us going to Santorini. The room was tiny. Two single beds pushed together to make it look like a double. But they left the bedsheets on top of the bed for us to make it ourselves. What?? And they gave us two single sheets instead of a double sheet. Ridiculous. Uncomfortable bed and piloows too. On the plus side, it s a quick walk to the train station to get to Acropolis. I had another nights stay booked on our return from Santorini, but canceled it to stay elsewhere. Never going back. can't recommend.

esperienza mediocre per questo livello di prezzi; nello specifico: - pulizia buona - arredi nuovi ma mal assortiti (soprattutto illuminazione) - personale disponibile e gentile - camere poco confortevoli con vista su finestre di adiacenti palazzi - colazione insufficiente per fascia di prezzo, e’ un sacchetto con frutto e panino, solo che non e’ pronta prima delle 8

We booked a room in this hotel when it was not built yet. First of all, it is very difficult to find the place as it lacks any any external sign. The rendered pictures did not look any similar to the actual final look so we felt a little bit scammed. The bathroom in the room as very small and the shower did not have any kind of partition with the rest of the bathroom so every time we used the shower the whole bathroom got wet (including the toilet paper roll). The personal at reception were nice but slow (it took us almost 30 minutes to check in, and even though she was not sure if had already paid or not - we had paid online through Expedia). The breakfast is a “grab and go” bag containing a baguette and a piece of fruit. In summary. In summary, we are quite dissatisfied with the hotel and we would not recommend it.

Nytt fräscht hotell. Hjälpsam och trevlig personal. Närhet till flera restauranger, caféer och barer. Området var lite nedgånget vilket drar ner helhetsintrycket. Kändes dock säkert och tryggt att promenera kvällstid.

Nous avons séjourné une nuit dans cet hôtel bien situé dans le centre d'Athènes. L'hôtel est neuf. Des travaux sont toujours en cours dans l'hôtel, ce qui a rendu l'accueil compliqué avec des soucis de clé et de numéro de chambre. Nous avions commandé un petit déjeuner qui ne nous a pas été servi.
