I have stayed at Novotel's around the world and really not impressed with this one. Supposed to be a 4* but would be lucky to be a 3*. Paper cups in the rooms. terrible coffee, the shower barely had any pressure at all, no spare blankets or pillows. BUT the staff at the rooftop bar/restaurant were amazing. Couldn't do enough for us even though it seemed as though they were very understaffed. Great team up there!

Lovely hotel within walking distance (even with my kids) from the metro, the rooftop restaurant and pool are great. The food was gorgeous and there is a great view of the Acropolis. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Shout-out to Maria at the rooftop restaurant and bar! Breakfast was delicious with a ton of options. This hotel is perfect for visiting Athens and the rooftop pool was ideal as we stayed in July.

Great pool, beautiful view, and delicious breakfast. However, our room was very small and not particularly clean. Also, I accidentally left my shoes by the pool and never found them again.

Filthy carpets and would in the shower. Breakfast tables not cleared. No napkins. Guests using hands to take food from breakfast buffet. An incredible difference between the photographs of the hotel and the reality. I will never stay in a Novotel again. The group should properly inspect their properties. This establishment was unsanitary abd beyond shabby. Cheap but not that cheap to justify the conditions.
