The Stanley is a great hotel to stay at while visiting Athens. Here are some detailed notes about the property. Room: -Stayed in a room with twin beds -Bed was large and allowed us to both sleep comfortably (long enough for tall guests– I am 6-foot-2) -Bedding and pillows were very comfortable -In-room air conditioning was powerful and allowed us to sleep at a comfortable temperature–perfect for people who prefer to sleep cold -Balcony was large and featured solid views of downtown Athens, the valley/surrounding mountains -Curtains blocked most of the light, but if you are sensitive to light, bring an eye mask -Other room features: mini-fridge, safe for valuables, coffee maker Hotel/Amenities: -Amazing rooftop pool with stunning views of the Acropolis, downtown Athens, and sea/mountains on a clear day -Comfortable lounge chairs/beds at the pool -Huge restaurant/bar with amazing views -Elevators were a bit small and slow, so patience is sometimes required (also have stairs to all rooms if you prefer to walk) -Friendly hotel staff and cleaning crews -Relatively quiet rooms–did not hear neighbors, but the hallway can get a bit loud after 10 AM Location: -Hotel is located right next to the Metaxourgeio metro stop, which makes travel to major sites quick, easy, and affordable -Felt safe walking around streets at night, even though many surrounding buildings/streets appear rundown -Great bakery/coffee shop steps away from the hotel

Breakfast was 12 euros per guest, as it is not complimentary, and the food was terrible. If we had of known, we would have opted for something else. Also, the shower was very undesirable, it was clean and tiled, however they installed a big fancy shower head that was completely useless in every mode. Every setting was aiming straight into the door (which was very close and would not stay shut) and left no room to actually be in the water. Other than that, it is a nice building surrounded by lots of run down/ falling apart buildings and homeless within a block in every direction. Also the pool is great!

staff was friendly and attentive at both the bar, pool and restaurant area. Food and drinks good (although they didn't remove a drink that they said they would remove). Their rooms were just average and a bit small-we were there on our honeymoon, so we we hoping for a nicer upgrade of some sort or something, but that didn't happen. One thing I didn't like at all was the showers. They were awkwardly placed and difficult to use and the hot water took a while to warm up. I also didn't love how no toilet paper was to be placed in the toilet. Other than that, this wasn't a bad place at all. Staff was super attentive, friendly and rather quick too. By the way, the hue of the pool is darker than in the pictures, so if you are a lap swimmer like me, it's more difficult to see other swimmers/divers under the water. I had a little collision with someone, which was due to low visibility under water. Also, we were under the impression that there would be a free breakfast included, however that didn't happen idk why. I heard another hotel staffer tell some other guests that breakfast is complementary.

This hotels has a plumbing problem. Hard to fix being above the train and a massive fountain. Our room smelled like a toilet bowl. After complaining, and requesting a refund to leave, we were told there were no more rooms, but then miraculously were switched to a different room. This room smelled like bleach and the drain was clogged. Backed up water began to rise in the bathroom. We complained again and were refused a refund and were offered to move rooms YET again. We were offended, were not met with respect and hospitality and how uncomfortable we were. We will never stay here again and will never recommend this hotel. Also, we were warned by multiple taxi drivers that the area is known for many people being on hard drugs. Not good for walking. We also were followed to the hotel and only crossed the street from the bar across the street. Security was great at diverting the man, but overall a terrible, costly, and uncomfortable experience.
