Hotel berhampiran The Benizelos Mansion (House of Saint Philothei), Athens

Very good: location and cool furniture. Considering the price, I prefer this hotel’s room than A for Athens Acropolis view in lower floor. But in terms of hospitality of receptionists, A for Athens are nicer. In brief, it’s hard to say which is the best 😆.

Though most of this establishment are private rooms, I stayed in the 8-person dorm, so that is what I am reviewing. While this hostel was very clean and well serviced, it isn’t as good as some other hostels I’ve stayed in recently. The beds were not the most comfortable, though I did sleep alright on them. The beds are completely in the open, so there is absolutely no privacy at all. Also, there are limited electrical outlets, so, depending on how busy it is, you might be fighting for plug space (fortunately the dorm was less than half occupied during my visit, so it wasn’t much of a problem). The dorm does have one, ensuite bathroom, which I imagine results in queues during the busy season, however it is very clean. Lockers are available outside the dorm room for your bags/valuables. The dorm is located on the second floor, over streets which are quite busy late at night, so you will hear the din from the crowd below (light sleepers beware!). Two of the best aspects of this hostel as it’s location and rooftop terrace. Five minutes walk from Monastiraki Square, everything you want to see in central Athens is a stones throw away. The rooftop terrace is absolutely wonderful, with magnificent views of the Acropolis and the old city. A great place to enjoy a few beers in the evening (and a killer sunset), a coffee in the morning (with a terrific sunrise), or just catching some rays in the afternoon. See photos. For the location and terrace alive, I’d stay here again…but would probably opt for a private room.

Absolutely amazing hotel, very cosy, modern, with lovely details in design and decor, comfy bed with choice of pillows, great rooftop restaurant with nice view to Acropolis, super tasty breakfast with fresh juice and fresh bakery 🙏

Good location, a street of bars and restaurants just around the corner, fantastic views of the hilltop ruins from the rooftop terrace, and friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are a little small and dated but comfortable enough.

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.

Point positif et... c'est le seul : Situé en centre ville Points négatifs : Hôtel servant de d'hébergement provisoire pour migrants qui occupent hall d'accueil et couloirs avec téléphone avec haut parleur, nous avons dû appeler la réception à deux reprises pour ne plus être gênés par les conversations bruyantes. La nourriture est médiocre avec un choix minimal et la gastro assurée au réveil ! Beaucoup de bruits extérieurs surtout dus aux zombies dans la rue adjacentes qui se bagarrent, trafiquent et hurlements. Nos avons pu voir des personnes faisant leurs besoins dans la rue adjacente et entendre les voitures de polices venir sirènes hurlantes. Dommage car les chambres sont correctes.

Really good hotel, close too the centre of athens. Around 20 mins walk to the centre so not so bad. The hotel itself is budget but we loved it, cost room, aircon, TV, bathroom with amazing shower. I would highly recommend this hotel. Perfect base for city exploring. The staff were nice and friendly and the cleaners were nice.

I’m so impressed after I checked in this amazing place. Sparkling clean and room is huge. The manager texted me a few times and stopped by in person to greet me and makes sure I m every thing’s good . Self checkin very easy if you following the manager send your instructions message

I stayed here for one night on 3rd September. The location is very convenient. The port of Piraeus is safe and ”rising” a lot in recent years. If you feel like going on prettier areas, it's only a 15-minute walk or 5 minutes taxi. (Town Hall, Pasalimani/Zea, even Mikrolimano or Piraiki and so on... Metro is 3 minutes walk away too. I liked the facilities in the room (coffee maker, toiletries, ”smart” technology.) Decoration-wise, I liked the hotel. I personally like the blue color in the room, however dark shades make the room seem even smaller.The double bed was comfortable for me traveling alone for one night. It's a city hotel and I knew beforehand that the room would be small, so for me it wasn't a problem. But the classic I stayed in I don't think would be suitable for 2 people and/or a long stay. Some small complains are that there were some tiny stains on the pillows. Cleanliness was good overall, but in 4+ star hotels you expect attention to detail. The staff were polite but the inexperience of some of them shows, they seem kind of anxious and they don't talk comfortably or naturally, tt's like they're parroting a text. I didn't like the breakfast system and something urgent happened, so I left too early and didn't get one. All in all, despite any objections, it will be among my choices for the future.
