Maribel, San Francisco

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Excellent customer service from the front desk, very knowledgeable, caring and nice, specially Ross. Very tiny room. Bed sheets twin size for a queen bed. The bathroom is very tiny. The shower is a big joke. No shower head hanger. To take a “shower” you have to be holding the shower head with one hand and soap yourself with just one hand. No curtains in the shower, obviously the water splashes everywhere making a big pool to be standing. The “bar” just exists in pictures. Rooms no soundproof. You can hear a pin drop. Elevator just for one person and a small carryon at a time. Bad neighborhood. No recommended at all!

Omonia is a Dirty, Run-down area!!
The Dirty, Run-Down area full of Homeless people and Hookers ruins this Hotel’s location!! Room is small but adequate for an overnight stay. I’d skip this area if you’re in Athens for a few days though as Monastiraki, Plaka and Acropolis precincts have a much more pleasant atmosphere with a huge selection of outdooor cafe’s, bars, restaurants & shopping!

Most of the staff were great. The hotel is situated in a bit of a challenging area, but like in most places, the druggies keep to themselves. The situation was much better than I had imagined. Good value.

It was OK for one night. Cons: the shower stall is tiny and uncomfortable. The breakfast was very basic. The area outside seems a bit shady and it was very noisy at night. I saw a syringe on the ground right outside the hotel entrance. Pros: the hotel is only 20 mins away from the Acropolis; plenty of dining options; free street parking available.

A great budget hotel about 30min away from the main tourist areas. Alas we didn't have a high level holder for the shower head but the room was fine for us with comfy beads, air conditioning and a balcony for relaxing at the end of the day.

If youre only concern is the budget this is a reasonable stay. Otherwise, the facilities, the breakfast, the elevators and the overall unsafe surrounding area are terrible experience. That being said, the staff are attentive and helpful but 2/5 is the highest i could give this hotel.

The hotel is very good for the price. Rooms are clean, staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast is good. But the location is not so good. It’s conveniently located near a metro stop. But the area is extremely run down, with drug addicts and homeless people everywhere.

The hotel is quaint and clean, exactly what is shown on the photos. Great value for money and near Omonia square metro. The staff are really nice and accommodating. The only really concern like most reviews is the surrounding. There are a lots of interesting people (hobos and druggies) hanging around the area.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Omonia. Close to the metro station and major tourist attractions of central Athens. The area is rough but if you ignore the homeless and drug additions then it is a great place for a night or two. The buffet breakfast is basic and fills the need before exploring the city. Enjoy!
