Well located hotel.
A few of us chose this hotel, mainly due to its location which is only 5 minutes from the metro. Pleasant hotel. Quite dated, but more than adequate for our needs. Basic breakfast included. Reception is open 24 hours, which is great and the hotel has a small bar. Our room was at the front of the hotel and there was some early morning traffic noise.

The hotel desperately needs updating. The ac didn’t work, nor did the room mini fridge. Which are both advertised as amenities. When I asked about getting a working fridge they said they would look into it. Never did. Then said we could give whatever we needed kept cool to them and the would store it somewhere??

Hotel is already a little bit older but stuff is trying to make it upnto the date how they can… if we look overall picture about Athens and her cleanliness Hotel was good. They clean the room everyday, it’s a little bit smelly because they dont have ventilation in the bathroom. Walls are dirty, and bathroom is old, you will not get a shampoo just a shower gel. My biggest no was slow internet in the room because I needed it for work. Overall, service is trying doing their best, and you will get ok service for that money… if you plan just to sleep and eat hotel is good. City center is close, just the area is a little bit tricky. But in 6 min. you can be in a very cool small streets with a lot of restaurants and coffee bars! Nice!

This hotel is by far the worst I have ever stayed at. To start off the staff member at the front desk is rude. The rooms are not what are in the photos, they are clearly enhanced with effects, photo shop and accessories. THE PICTURES DO NOT REPRESENT THE HOTEL. the outside of the hotel has barb wire, graffiti and torn down abandoned homes. When we came to our room there were flies everywhere, including dead flies in the bathroom. Then the shower curtain is brown, the bed sheets have short curly hair (a man’s hair), the bed is incredibly uncomfortable. To go downstairs and take the stairs the lights don’t turn on right away so it’s a bit scary. Not to mention the screaming and thin walls. We can hear every time someone in the hall opens a door, children and adults screaming. When we addressed these concerns with the women at the front desk she began to raise her voice and yell at me - which we have video footage of. She confirmed everyone makes these complaints, yet the hotel doesn’t seem to care. She said no one would be cleaning the room since they have no maid service and we have to wait to talk to someone tomorrow - therefore sleep in a dirty room. She confirmed the hair on the bed via photo and that it couldn’t be ours, I asked how it was acceptable for us to sleep in a dirty room and her answer was “well I didn’t clean the room” she is still the representative for the hotel and the only person working therefore, it’s her responsibility. The manager is even worst!STAYAWAY

Dear, It seems to me that you are talking about another hotel or you did not pay much attention and you formed the worst picture in your mind. You mentioned "the hotel has barb wire, graffiti and torn down abandoned homes". If you look a little more careful at our area you will see that our hotel has not all the above mentioned but is next to government building with that characteristics (not our fault). Next you say "the photos of rooms are clearly enhanced with effects, photo shop and accessories". We will be happy for you to come another day that we will not be fully booked to show you all our rooms and truly see if they are photoshopped. Moreover when you showed us the picture it was clearly not from the sheets of the bed (plus we gave you the option to change a room) and mosquitoes/flies can not be avoided in any city. In another matter the fact that our lights turn on and off automatically is both eco friendly but also checked by health/safety inspectors every year. Furthermore about the noise as you were informed you can not expect us to bother every room in order to find who was "screaming" as you said. We would be happy to help if we knew even the floor that you heard the "screaming" but every time it came from a different place. Also how can a person (our employee) raise her voice and yell at you taking in consideration that you did not let her form a complete sentence. In conclusion we hope that at least you liked the free water or not? B.R Sotiria Reservations.

It's a modest hotel but the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms have the normal basic amenities, even a small fridge. My room on the second floor was quiet but my friend on the first floor reported galloping teenagers all night. It's good value for money, so probably the younger people are drawn to it. It's a half mile walk from a Red Line metro station. There is a bar and a restaurant, but we did not have a chance to experience them. We had to leave at 4 am and the guy on duty made coffee for us without being asked.

Centrally located and close to Omonia Square with red/green train line and eateries/bakeries. Close to outdoor restaurants area (ask staff for directions). Not fancy but clean hotel with very nice English speaking, full time staff at the front desk. Breakfast included with a good selection of food. Located on a main street. Room price are very reasonable. While the surrounding buildings are somewhat run down, the neighborhood is safe. If we were to return to Athens, and wanted to stay in the same area, we would not hesitate to stay at the Odeon Hotel.

Dear guest,greetings from "Athens Odeon" Hotel.We thank you for the time to make a review because it will help us improve, however , we do not agree with the above.Not only all of our rooms are clean ( Our maids are responsible for everyday cleaning) we also invested in buying stem cleaner vacuum that meets the criteria also for covid protocols and we can also clean with hot steam the surfaces. Regarding our pictures , we would like to inform you that at our site ,we do not have only the pictures from the photographer but also from our satisfied guests.Moreover, you could have always contact with our reception department asking us for a room change and tell us your problems. I am sure that we would find a solution. We are very sorry that we didn't t meet your expectations like our most of our clients. (The last thing we want is a dissatisfied customer).We are a family business budget hotel and we always try for the best.Best regards,Theodore Panagakis,reservations department,"Athens Odeon" Hotel.

The pre and during stay communication and front desk support was awesome particularly the female night manger. She helped arrange ferry and airport transportation. The hotel is very basic and rooms are small but they have a fridge, provide breakfast and the necessities for a 2 night stay. The floor under our bed was very dusty, but otherwise clean. The mattress wasn’t great, bed was low to ground and they only provided two pillows and basic bedding. Good location however to the plaka and great price.

First of all, pictures of the rooms very very very fotoshop. From the site they look nice and fresh in reality very old building and very old rooms with old furniture. Nothing in common with the pictures for me. Second, when I did booking for me was VERY IMPORTANT the shower and from the picture of “triple room” it was normal regular shower, in reality is a little little place where you almost no have place to stand with curtains, which constantly stick to your body and it is very unpleasant. Third, for 3 day our staying they did clean room but never change a bed sheets ;(

Not even worth giving 1-star! Honest advice is DO NOT BOOK here! The pictures and advertisements of this hotel are nothing but to get you to book with them considering it’s a ‘3 Star-hotel’ close to the city centre. As with everyone else, everything is outdated, damaged and old. Despite the staff being friendly, they are not helpful. We booked 4 nights with this hotel but had to leave the second day as the conditions are horrible. You cannot change the room temperature as it’s controlled by one climate control by the ‘manager’ and there are ‘older guests’ who require the rooms to be warm!?!?! In summer? When trying to make amends and being reasonable with the staff to ask for fan, they only have 1 in the whole hotel which is with maintenance as it’s broken… the lady at the reception offered a mosquito-repellant device and advised us to open the windows, not to forget the road is very loud and the windows are already not sound proof. So good luck with your sleep! I could say a lot of things and the breakfast, well, you might as well go to a local supermarket for a better breakfast. When asking for a refund, no senior person is present and although Darios and John, who is supposed to be a superior, agreed to a refund, later declined it despite agreeing with us and understanding why. And as it turns out, John is not even a supervisor… If you want a pleasant stay in Athens, a beautiful city with amazing people, DO NOT BOOK here. You’re better off going to COLORS hotel which is no

Ok as a bed and breakfast for a few days. Important to note, the curtains are NOT blackout (which is a significant issue for me as I cant sleep with light). They changed my room on the second day to accommodate my request for a double bed which I appreciate. Heating OR cooling was a weird one, I was freezing one night but couldn’t turn on the heating as it was set to cooling only (however they provided me with a blanket for the night). Overall clean.
