Stay with caution
I had a less than pleasant stay. Upon check in the early hours of the morning due to flight delays, I walked into an open balcony door. I’m assuming it was due to the smell of sewage, which the room immediately smelled like upon walking in. Second night I woke up to bites all over my legs. Front desk staff said ‘this is not bed bugs’ and I perhaps got it before arriving to their hotel. That I went to sleep with absolutely no bites. Immediately, I packed my belongings and left the room. Front desk rectified the issue by providing a replacement room to rest. There are itchy red bumps all over both legs. Hotel appears to be way more ‘luxurious’ and ‘clean’ than it actually is.

**Hotel Stanley, Athens: A Disappointing Experience** The Stanley Hotel in Athens tries to market itself as a convenient, comfortable option for travellers, but it falls short on many fronts. **What Works:** - **Comfortable Bed:** The bed is one of the few highlights—clean and comfortable, offering a decent night’s sleep. - **Air Conditioning:** Thankfully, the aircon is reliable and keeps the room cool. **What Doesn't:** - **Breakfast:** An absolute letdown. The food is forgettable, and the coffee is dreadful. - **Atmosphere:** The hotel feels cold and impersonal, lacking any real character or warmth. - **Location:** While central, the area around the hotel is unsettling, with visible issues like drugs, brothels, and homelessness. - **Pool:** Although the rooftop pool has potential, it's often overcrowded, and service is painfully slow—you’ll likely have to chase down staff yourself. - **Rooms:** The rooms are tiny, with barely enough space to unpack. The decor is non-existent—just stark white walls, making the space feel barren and unwelcoming. Overall, the Stanley Hotel may cover the basics, but it misses the mark on almost everything else. It’s a disappointing choice that doesn't live up to its potential.

A few days in zathens
The Stanley had an amazing rooftop pool which was a very welcome relief in the extreme heat. It also had a nice rooftop restaurant and bar too. The room was comfortable and the breakfast buffet was great There is an amazing bakery in the street l evel of the hotel. Hotel staff were responsive to our needs and were very helpful when we needed to change our reservation and stay an extra day. They accomodated our request immediately and we didn't even have to change rooms. I would recommend the Stanley.

Beautiful rooftop terrace with a view of the Acropolis. Food was outstanding and staff extremely professional. The rooftop pool was, sadly but inevitably, too full of children. Well placed for the metro.
