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

The rooms were clean. However there was a smell from the bathroom. We did not hear any noise from the other rooms or the corridor but there was noise from the street outside. The pool area was very nice and that’s what stood out including the views from up there, especially the Acropolis. The downside was that it was a bit cold to jump in the pool because of the month that we we went to. I chose this hotel because it stated that it had a heated pool.

The room was clean and nice. The rooftop view from the 9th floor was awesome. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was wonderful. However, the hotel’s location/area didn’t feel safe after 7 p.m. The view from the room was of the city, which I didn’t like.
