Great spot, quiet but fun area

The room was fine. It was clean and sunny. The area is GREAT. You can hear noise down the hall. The outside wall is thin, but people were generally quiet. We will definitely be staying there again.

Very convenient stay!

I stopped for one night after a hiking trip so it was like heaven to me to be in that place. Staff members were very nice and 24h desk is very convenient and the location is very central. After my checkout, I could stay in the common area where it was great for working until taking my flight back home

OK hotel

We stayed at the Athinaikon hotel for 4 nights at the end of our trip to Greece and arrived by ferry from Naxos It’s extremely well located in the Psiri district which is close to the main sights, lots of restaurants 5 minutes’ walk away and very close to the Monastiraki Metro station which has direct links to the port of Piraeus plus the airport. It was so convenient that apart from using public transport from the ferry and to the airport we walked everywhere else OK so the hotel has pluses and minuses – it’s run by a very nice family on a number of floors with no lift – be aware if you have a heavy case that has to be carried to the top floor – also depending on the floor you are on you will have a certain amount of stair walking every day Our room, and I think quite a lot of them was spotlessly clean but extremely small – there was just one wardrobe, one small bedside table a chair and a stool, so if you want to spread yourself out it’s very difficult – we virtually lived out of our case for the 4 days – there was a small TV and very good quite air-conditioning that we used every night.The street we faced was quite noisy at night. The hotel does not do breakfast. There was a shower and toilet that was a bit of a squeeze, but OK The rooms were very efficiently cleaned each day with fresh sheets and towels So, an OK hotel in a very good location

Horrible stay

I sincerely do not recommend this hotel to anyone. For me is what we consider a “bait and switch”. I chose this hotel for the good reviews on the page and the information offered is false. The hotel is very old, not presentable. The bathroom and room are scary and the location is very dangerous. Not even the taxi driver wanted to leave us in front of the hotel. We had to pay an additional € 10 to make it so. To my regret it was already late at night and we had to spend a night there and Hotel.com did not want to move us to another hotel. It is also very nosy!!!

Nice hotel

We were only here for 2 nights, great location, had air con which was amazing. The woman at the front deak was so helpful. Only down fall was no proper shower, it was just a shower hose in the corner of the bathroom which you had to hold, so if you werent careful everything gets wet. Also this hotel doesnt have an elevator, this didnt bother us but it is something to keep in mind.

cheap, friendly, but low quality

The clerks were friendly and the location is easy walking to two well-known metro locations (Ommonia Sauare and Monastairaki, which has many restaurants). But the bathroom smelled, and the windows did not close. There was no elevator.

Well kept hotel, close to Monastiraki Square

The room was clean, had two double beds. The hotel was about a comfortable 10 minute walk to the station, just straight down the main road. A bit further down from the station was Monastiraki Square where you'll find some good stores and places to eat. Staff were nice and friendly. Wi-Fi was good. There are no escalators or elevators in the hotel, so if you have a lot of luggage or heavy luggage, just be mindful that you have to carry them up flights of stairs.

If you can dispense with frills and just need a clean bed and bathroom for a short trip or stopover, this is ideal. Great location and staff were courteous and friendly and offered to store our bags free of charge until late in the day we were leaving..

In the center

This hotel is in the heart of Athens so don’t count on getting a ‘good’ noght’s Rest with all the noises that come from outside. Also the bed is rock solid so it was really hard to sleep on a bed that you can feel the springs. No hot water on the second night we stayed. Tried to have a shower at about 9pm and could not get ANY warm water. Staff were nice and had no issues there. Hotel is close to shops and main attractions, which came in handy.

Two minutes from great night life

We arrived at our hotel at night in the dark, and the neighborhood was a little forboding. The next morning I took a walk and the neighborhood had transformed into a street full of markets, cafes, stores; a bustling, inviting, energetic community just asking for people to visit. At night, just two minutes down the alley across the street was a block full of restaurants and cafes full of happy people eating on the outdoor patios, well lit with a variety of colorful lights. Very nice! The room was small with two queen beds, and a very nice bathroom, just right for us as we were out all the time and just needed a place to sleep.

Disappointing

I use hotels.com all the time because I trust them. This time, though, I am incredibly disappointed and I paid way too much for such a poor place of stay. Living and traveling in Europe, I have gotten used to odd bathroom set-ups, but this is just too much! I have to sit sideways on the toilet, because it’s right up against the wall, it’s just a drain on the floor that doesn’t work, so the water comes into the room, a tiny sink and a “shower head.” If you can call it that. Did the designers of this place really think this was a good idea? I’m so confused... because of this and no ventilation, there is mold growing in the bathroom/shower (because it’s all just one room with nothing dividing the shower). Don’t leave anything in the bathroom that can’t get wet, because the water goes all over the toilet, shelf, sink, etc. and stays there, never draining. It’s very unsanitary and gross. I wish I had brought shower shoes. I’m also disappointed that the window doesn’t actually close or have a lock, which is unsafe. The WiFi also goes out every 10 minutes or so, you can hear everyone around you, it smellls of smoke, and it’s not a clean space. The hotel should be honest and upfront about these things, especially with the bathroom! I’m not even going to be taking another shower, because I felt dirtier afterwards. I hope my hotels on the rest of my stays this week are better!

Cheap and not bad.

The hotel was cheap, so I didn't expect much. There were many many steps just to get to reception, then some more up to my room, which was very small. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean, the bed was ok but I always wonder how often they wash the blankets. The bathroom was ok, I have seen them smaller, so at least it wasn't cramped. I heard no street noise. There are vending machines for drinks and free wifi and maps. It was ok for the price.
