Hotel Novotel di Athens

This is an extremely nice hotel situated in a perfect location. Our stay and review are based on a Superior room You would be hard pressed to find an Athens hotel in a better location. You are right in the middle of all the action with shops and restaurants nearby. You are spoilt for choice. Although in a busy area we found the excellent double- glazed doors/windows kept any noises out and it was not an issue at all. Our Superior room came with a kettle and tea/coffee making facilities although that is not listed on their website. It may be worth e-mailing them if this is important to you. There was air-con but in March there was no need to make use of it so we cannot comment on its efficiency. The toilet/bathroom came with those tiny bottles of shampoo and body wash which we refuse to use on environmental grounds so we brought our own and used that. There was a sign saying that if the used towels were hung up then it was assumed that we were happy to reuse them. The cleaners replaced them daily regardless. The rooms were kept very clean. This hotel has much going for it. We grabbed a deal here at a very attractive price which included breakfast. The breakfast arrangements were in a fairly small area but we felt that a good selection was provided considering the space limitations. Plenty of fresh vegetable choices and delicious too. The Tomatoes and Cucumber just tasted so much better than we are used to. Cereals, bread, cakes, fruit and coffee from a machine. We looked forward to our breakfast every morning and didn’t grow tired of it. Minor gripes (being very picky). The over the bath shower was a mini battle in so much that it was prone to shoot water out onto the floor if you weren’t being careful. It could have been better but all we had to do was to adjust our showering habits and all was ok in the end. Our room had a balcony facing out to the street below. It would have been nice for a couple of chairs out there rather than just a large pot plant and the air-con unit for company. I did notice that no other balconies on other building had chairs out so perhaps that is just the Athens way. We had a Fridge in our room. Very welcome. A very close mini supermarket was the cheapest place we could find to buy water. E0.39 for 1.5 litres as I recall. We loved this hotel. All the staff were so nice and so helpful. I can’t remember all of their names but Irena and Eva come to mind. They helped make our stay wonderful. It had a curiously homely feel about the place. March time was a great time of the year as it was a pleasant day time temperature with it getting a bit chilly in the evenings. You could still dine outdoors but with a patio heater nearby. We loved Athens and have decided to return next March with the flights already booked. We will stay at the Plaka Hotel again. 5 stars from us

This hotel is highly recommend for both its LOCATION and very efficient/PROFESSIONAL staffs at reception! From Monastiraki a 7min walk / frm Syntagma 3mins walk! Buffet breakfast; EXCELLENT! I arrived on the day where the public road was closed due to an annual street demonstration, not to mention the fatigue I’m encountering after traveling for 3 months BUT the great hospitality at Arethusa made everything pleasant. Rooftop terrace at Lvl 9 gives a view of Acropoli, PERFECT! Room is well equipped, SPOTLESSLY CLEAN! Standing shower has a great water pressure.Extra comforter is provided in cupboard which is very helpful during this winter. A/C heater in room works well too! Arethusa Hotel deserves a better grade for its excellent service/quality! I am glad i managed to book a room with them! Highly recommend to both solo travellers or couple, street is quiet/safe in the night. THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFFS OF ARETHUSA!

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.

I didn't arrive until late at the hotel & was greeted by a lovely man on reception who gave me a free room upgrade to a four person room as it had a bigger bed. The rooms are decorated tastefully but not cluttered, the bed was super comfortable & the shower was great. I really liked the aesthetic the room, modern & understated. The main reason I chose this hotel was it's location as it's a 6min walk from the metro station at syntagma square where you can get a metro from the airport for 9euros! It also meant everything I wanted to see in Athens was within a 20minute walking distance & there was plenty of places to eat & shop around. As a solo traveller I also looked at the reviews for this hotel which helped me to make my decision, I felt completely safe in the hotel & in the city even walking around later at night as it was always busy & most of the locals are extremely pleasant & helpful. The only draw back was as I was in a room that was above the road I sometimes could hear bikes or music at night but nothing excessive & it didn't disturb my sleep. It's to be expected staying in the city centre really. I also would of loved a kettle in my room but that's me being fussy & you get a complimentary continental breakfast which is very generous really. I would definitely recommend staying here!

The hotel is well located, just outside of main city centre bustle. Bus stop and hop on/off tourist bus points right on the doorstep, and a 5-10 minutes walk to nearest metro station. Hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful, and the view of the Acropolis was insane!

地理位置簡直不要太好，五分鐘到憲法廣場 20分鐘衞城，離plaka步行可到，旁邊就是女人街，各種餐廳、超市什麼都有。 服務員態度很好，房間還行，家庭房就是兩個完全獨立的房間，並且把門口的公共區域也圍起來作為連接（適合放行李），很適合孩子比較大或有長者同形的 ，互不幹擾。 唯一就是吹風機功率太小和早餐基本不換。

When writing this review I was conflicted between giving the Delphi Art Hotel 3/4 stars. The location is highly convenient for sightseeing, considering it has a metro station a mere 300m from it. This metro has a direct link to the Acropolis just three stops away and allows you to access with relative ease much of Athens. Within the vicinity (10-15 minute walk) there are lots of very good restaurants and bars. However, be prepared to see many people using injectable drugs during broad daylight and within busy streets right outside the hotel - according to locals, a big issue currently in Athens and more specifically within Omonia. We had a room facing inside, which was cold, with no heater and poorly decorated, however they moved us without issue the following day. We asked for a front facing room with a street view. The decor in this room was much improved and it was reasonably sized, with a heater. The room was clean and soaps were replenished daily. The bathrooms had good facilities and showers were excellent with strong water pressure and constant hot water. Service was good: staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was inclusive and reasonable - I was a large fan of the filter coffee, which was refillable! We were half board, therefore breakfast and dinner was also included. The dinner was not our favourite, made worse by the fact there was no choice! Though, having said that, the salad was different each day and mostly enjoyable!

酒店位置很好，到憲法廣場走路十分鐘，趕x95公交車去機場很方便，酒店出門右轉5分鐘就到蒙納斯卡奇廣場，晚上熱鬧非常，實際上這個廣場就在衛城山腳下。酒店前台也非常好，我們到達時早上5點，不到辦入住時間，前台老先生告訴我們可以去休息室，也可以去樓頂酒吧（酒吧下午才開業）看衛城……我們放在窗台上的襪子被風吹到下麪機房了，和前台說了一下，第二天晚上他們居然給找回來了，連裝襪子的塑料袋都找回了……下次去還住這裏。

Very good experience! The front desk is friendly. She upgraded me to a double bed, even though I live alone. There's a bar and jacuzzi on the roof. Bath supplies are complete. Eye masks and earplugs are also provided. The decor is vintage and tasteful, with a record and a record player in the room. Breakfast dishes are extensive, with Greek yogurt and honey as well as Greek salad and feta, which are delicious.
