Hotel berhampiran Dolce Vita, Athens

Excellent value for money hotel in a fantastic location just a few minutes walk from Athens’ most visited spots. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and spacious and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. No tea/coffee making facilities but I don’t know if that’s normal in Athens, but there is a fridge and great air conditioning. Then roof top bar in their sister hotel Plaka is well worth a visit. Highly recommend.

Negative points:Breakfast buffet has less variety of food. It needs to include fruit squeezer and fried eggs. Black people stay nearby. Positive points: location is very good with 2 metro stations, especially omonia where 2 metro lines interact. They are very helpful for tourist to visit interesting places like acropolis. Staff service is excellent. Indian restaurants nearby offer delicious but cheaper food.

Minus: The toothbrush holder looked very dirty, I would probably give it a deep clean. There were some signs of mold in the shower and the toilet paper holder was loose from the wall. The rain shower head lived a life of its own, very inconsistent with how the water came out, it also took time for the water to warm up. If you care about noise, don't get a room with a street view, the windows really weren't soundproof at all. The location is a bit sketchy at night. I would also recommend the hotel to advertise to people not to waste food at the breakfast buffet because there was A LOT of it by others when we were there. This is a big thing for hotels in the north. Pros: The room looked quite newly renovated. Seems like the hotel was under renovation because when we were there it was a completely different style from the breakfast room to the room. It's probably going to be very pretty when it's finished. Plus for the minibar and kettle in the room. Plus for a separate toilet room and shower room. Great view from the balcony in the room and from the roof terrace. Great, down to earth staff. Also a very good breakfast, I have stayed in many different hotels and this is one of the best breakfasts in Europe for me.

Soggiorno con amici, posizionie buona (vicinissima a piazza Omonia) servita dalla metropolitana da qui e’ possibile raggiungere a piedi i punti di maggiore interesse della città. Purtroppo il quartiere è popolato da senzatetto e drogati (ma nel complesso si facevano gli affari loro) rientrando in hotel si aveva un po’ di timore nonostante fossimo 7 persone adulte. Hotel abbastanza nuovo le nostre 4 camere erano piccole e con diverse pecche. Le lenzuola erano più corte del letto. Il bagno aveva il doccino mal funzionante e facendo la doccia si allaga il bagno. Pulizia sufficiente, colazione non adatta, quando finivano i prodotti non venivano integrati e qualità per tanti prodotti insufficiente. Adatto per un breve soggiorno e sicuramente non un 4 stelle.

BEWARE of Rip off by Tour Operator - Destination Services - for Pre Tour Accommodation!! We booked 5 day Greece, Nafplion, Olympia, Delphi Tour via Tour Radar website. We requested tour operator for one night pre tour accommodation in the same hotel from where the tour was starting. Price quoted was 143 Euros. When I checked via ***********, the price was - wait!! Only 54 Euros! What!! When I queried with Tour Radar and with Tour Operator, I got the unbelievable excuse stating that the tour operator booked the hotels via 12 month contract!! What? Are you kidding? Should that make it cheaper or 2.5 time more expensive!! So I booked directly with the same hotel. But Tour Operator - Destination services - refused to pick us up from the airport unless we paid extra even though airport transfers were included in the price we paid for the tour!! Another, misleading advertising is on Tour Radar website for the tour. When I booked the tour for 2 persons sharing a room, the price I paid was around 9% more than advertised on Tour Radar website. When I queried, I was told that the advertised price was for 3 persons sharing a room!! What? Is that not false advertising? The tour itself was ok except for a few major and minor issues. The TV did not work in one of the hotels and when I checked with reception I just got ‘Sorry’. The tour bus dropped us off 100 metres from our hotel and we had to carry all our luggage along the pavement to the hotel. Our tour guide, while very knowledgeable, was very grumpy, and told us off for asking simple logistics questions. On the other hand, the tour guide for Athens tour and Acropolis was excellent and explained the history really well. Each morning in Athens we lost more than an hour as buses picked up participants from various hotels and we all waited for ‘exchange’ of passengers between buses. On the positive side, the breakfast and dinners at the hotels in Olympia and Delphi were very good. Also, I received prompt responses to my queries by the tour operator. In summary, the tour itself is ok but BEWARE of the tour operator OVERCHARGING significant Euros for pre tour accommodation because they feel they have captive audience. I suggest that you do your own research and compare the prices for the hotel on the internet.

Really unprofessional staff at reception, the story is I do join 2 nights meeting event here My group booked 2 nights already without payment (the principal would support 1 night and I must pay 1 night as our agreement) Then I booked for my own 1 night and online paid, remain 1 night that our principal would support Once I arrived for check in, the reception asked for 1 night pay instantly and they couldn't find my name/my husband's name in any booking -- I had never faced an awful situation before (don't check but easy to change, don't care for my information, don't listen to me when I informed the name of group at all) Hotel staff can't find a booking even in trip.com or from the group 😂 then I need to pay 1 night (which the principal will pay later) and he still ask for my booking number in trip.com, so poor practice I have never seen before such a who got all the data but unskilled to check any... It might be a typical person here for no service mind and don't try to understand I take 2 hours to talk and become my fault for duplicate booking....😒 and he ask me for ”how to know I paid in the 2nd night 🙄 ask me to show online statement in my e-banking !?!?!? ,Once I showed he said how to know it is mean to Stanley (statement show the perfect similar of decimal with pay under name trips.com....????) So senselessly staff However I finally got back my money, with the assistance of my Greek colleagues If you have to book here, please don't expect them to be close to standard for a 1 star hotel actually It's one of the most rough service from my experience Good cleaning room, near subway but nothing around, simple amenity

Had a fab fantastic stay at the Apollo. Reception staff are lovely . Taxi service to and from ( holiday extras cheapest I found as I Didn’t want bus £74 return fab driver both on time . This is a great central location . The breakfast buffet is the same . But who cares it’s food and it’s included . I’m not a complainer . Get on with it .fab rooftop and amazing views . I paid £330 for this including flights . Not transfer . Jan 23 . I came early and my trip was originally in March and that was £530 for same . So yeh I had a bargain. The rooms are just being decorated and it was lovely . Amazing cake shop on corner . Hop on hop off bus also around the corner . It’s ideal . I was advised as o was a solo female . Lots of asylum and homeless . They can be aggressive at times . Stay away from side streets and told not to go out in the dark . This is normal for me anyway . The sites are awsum and if u are a walker like me . Once u get your bearings . It’s got fab history . Winter is half price entries to all monuments . So Acropolis was only €10 It’s a must . The national park and other monuments are fab . I chose not to go to meteora. Delphi or the islands cruise . Simply readings to many bad reviews . No regrets . They are expensive and extremely long day . But I had a blast exploring athens .

This is a beautiful boutique hotel. They are very new and need to work on their communication skills. We were told that the rooftop was closed and that we need to order breakfast the day prior and it would be delivered to our room at the desired time. We waited for our breakfast the following morning and it did not arrive. We went downstairs to hear that breakfast is served on the rooftop ( which we were told was closed). Apparently they changed the plan and didn’t think to inform us. Since we were being picked up for a tour…we had to hurry out with a light snack. That same night, at 11:30 pm we heard someone knocking on a door…only to have the door opened by a man (who apologized). As we were two women travelling together -this was a very upsetting security incident. There are no latches to ensure ure our safety from the inside. The decor is modern and calming. There is a nespresso coffee machine supplied (nice touch). The room was spacious and very clean. We enjoyed our stay…but we’re disappointed in missing out on breakfast and the man unlocking our door late at night. A bit far from the centre of town-but on a Main Street.
