Hotel berhampiran Olgianna Melissinos Sandals, Athens

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.

Big recommendation for this hotel. Immaculately clean, fabulous breakfast buffet, wonderful staff in the dining room and reception (friendly and helpful). Little things like the cleaning staff (who were so efficient) leaving our air conditioning on the setting we'd chosen made all the difference. Worth upgrading to deluxe room for the space and jacuzzi bath on the balcony. If I was going to be really picky, I wish they provided bath robes or bigger towels - but I am being picky. It's really well located - so much within walking distance. When we arrived late Sat night/Sun morning, the area was buzzing and crowded with bars, restaurants, and queues for a nightclub. I was concerned about the noise but the double glazing in our room kept the room beautifully quiet for sleep. Loved Athens, loved this hotel - we'll be back.

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.

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 .

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

This is an exceptionally lovely place to stay in the centre of Athens. Walking distance to the Acropolis, Plaka District and all the fabulous restaurants. Very nice rooms and amenities with very friendly staff. Excellent service. Make sure you go up to the roof top bar for food and drinks with a fabulous night time view of the Acropolis and make sure you say hi to Marios… the best and friendliest of bar hosts!

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
