Stanley (Kubrick??) - Seen better days

This hotel sadly doesn’t match up with the pictures or the write up. It’s very tired, and the rude staff on the desk at arrival didn’t set a good tone. Breakfast was crazy on the top floor restaurant and didn’t offer much variety. Sorry to say but we won’t call again.

Lovely staff and perfect location, rooftop pool was also a rare find in the centre of Athens. Slightly disappointed by the standard of the rooms as they certainly weren’t as luxury as the pictures lead you to believe, felt budget which was a shame!

Ok but not the best

Hotel was convenient located near a metro . Rooms are not what I wouldn’t call it superior at all ( didn’t look that renovated ) Very noisy in the room you can hear everyone walking past talking , you can hear upstairs when they move furniture . Do not stay near the lifts as there are stairs and they serve as a tunnel of noise . Pool area is nice but unless you park your bum on a chair after breakfast you won’t get a seat all day long . Breakfast was a good spread , dinner was lovely

I don’t know what the ‘vip benefits’ were for this hotel because I didn’t notice anything which stood out to me but overall (barring the amount of time taken to get my room ready) the cleaners were extremely nice, the breakfast was great, the staff were nice and ensured new towels were brought to us when requested. Would recommend staying here as the train station is transport is also very convenient.
