Perfectly serviceable room for an eight-day solo trip tourist Athens. I ended up on the fourth (top) floor. There is a small elevator but it runs from first floor to third so you need to do a bit of stair climbing regardless, but handy after a long day's hiking around Athens. Tended to only use it for up! Reception is already up some stairs and breakfast in the basement so not great if you'll struggle with stairs. I imagine other properties of this type of similar though. My room (standard double) was compact, but perfectly fine for a solo trip where I didn't intend to spend very long there. A couple may want a little more space. That all said, I was pleased with the size of the shower as small rooms often come with even more pokey showers. This was plenty big enough and more. There was a small balcony but didn't really seem intended to be used as such (and you wouldn't want to open the door in any heat - this was November) but good to check out the outside temperature to dress appropriately. Room cleaned, towels changed daily (rather more often the necessary) and a least one bottle of water replenished each day. More than I expected for a relatively budget hotel. The hotel is on Syngrou Avenue one of the main dual-carriageway routes in to the city (and a block back from the curving Kallirrois so outside can be noisy at times (rush hour), but I wasn't too bothered by that a slept well. Hotels away from the main road would have less hum-drum road noise but would be more likely to hear revellers or vehicles (and horns) navigating the narrow streets. The hotel is well located for the touristy spots mostly within 20-30 minutes walk but also handy for public transport (200m from Syngro-Fix metro). Even Lycabettus Hill is only an hours walk if you don't take public transport, and I actually walked back from the coast (Flisvos Marina) on one day. Breakfast okay, and got me started for the day but I have little comparison to elsewhere in Greece as I'm used to a full English back home. (To be fair, bacon, eggs, toast, cereal, and freshly squeeze-it-yourself orange juice, and a coffee machine all available, no real complaints). No bar/restaurant, but I didn't look for one when booking and it's not that sort of hotel. Helpful and friendly reception staff 24 hours. Perhaps a little tired in place, but a good place to stay if you're not expecting perfection.
