Hotel berhampiran Pinakothiki Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas, Athens

First the hostel was not as good as it was the years before, because of the prices, they were much higher. But then I met Johny at the reception, we were talking the 1st evening for 2 hours for everything. Next evening I was at the bar with Johny, Martin, Walther and Ami. The reason to come here is Johny, Martin, Walther and Ami.

Hotel is OK. '5 star' in the sense it has all of the amenities required by the city to make it a 5 star but this is not a 5 star in terms of service, modern facilities etc. If you are expecting a 4 star, it is good for the price paid. Pros - roof terrace, bedrooms have quality furnishings, bathroom well appointed Cons - breakfast is like feeding time at the zoo, with very little in terms of variety, fresh fruit etc. Air conditioning barely works. They say it is by design - it is actually because the air con was installed in the 80s probably and has never had the gas changed I suspect. They do not like using the outdoor seating on the roof terrace restaurant side at breakfast. No idea why. Perhaps was just the time of year I was there. 'Gym' is down the block. Literally you have to leave the hotel and walk down a road to use it. Anyway - decent value, would stay again, but you need to know what you are getting.

No kettle coffee or milk in the rooms buffet breakfast was very minimal and bland reception staff are very polite and professional and there’s is security at the foyer outside at night which is amazing for single woman travelers 🧳 air conditioner is perfect 👌 and has a balcony with views of locals in the apartments but still glad to have a outside area off the bedroom

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.

Bei der Anreise ist aufgefallen, dass die Lage nicht die beste ist. Dies ist allerdings sehr schwer in Athen. Die Armut und die Auswirkungen der FInanzkriese sind noch immer allgegenwärtig. Das Hotel versucht das beste daraus zu machen. Es ist sehr sauber, das Personal freundlich und bemüht. Das Frühstück ist nicht das was wir als aus Hotels gewöhnt sind. Es ist klein aber ausreichend. Bei der Anreise gab es eine Information welche Gebiete man meiden sollte. Zu Fuß ist man innerhalb von 10 bis 20 Minuten dort was einem als Tourist interessiert. Eine Metrostation zum Flughafen ist auch in der Nähe. Die Gegend selber ist bis in die Nacht relativ laut und Abends ist es ein ungewohntes Gefühl dort. Es ist ein wenig wie um den Hamburger Hauptbahnhof. Was definitiv besser geht, sind die Möbel die teilweise nicht vernünftig aufgebaut worden sind, es sind Schränke die mit Druck aufgehen sollen, aber da die Vorrichtungen fehlen ist dies nicht möglich, der Einbautresor steht lose im Schrank. Der Abfluß der Dusche funktionierte nicht richtig, so dass wir nicht nacheinander duschen konnten. Es mussten mehere Stunden gewartet werden wenn man das Bad nicht unter Wasser setzen wollte. Dieser Umstand wurde zwei Mal an der Rezeption gemeldet aber es hat sich leider nichts getan. Zusammenfassend kann man sagen, man fühlt sich im Hotel nicht unsicher, das Personal ist freundlich, an den Zimmern kann man definitiv was machen, gute Ansätze sind da aber es sind nur Ansätze.

Classic period building hotel 5 minutes walk from Acropolis museum. Great room tastefully furnished, firm bed and pillows. Quality soft linen and towels. Powerful shower. Breakfast is a little disappointing for the price but had all the essentials. Some of the communal areas could do with some renovation but the room itself and the service was fantastic. Recommended.

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!

This is our 1st time come to AThens , this Hotel very near with train , take Arrissa station and just a 2 minute walking . Reception and early check in also very smooth .there is elevator , bed are great . Hot shower and towel provided . We Will come again. Thanks

Everything is nice except that the room walls separating the toilet and bedroom is too thin. My wife can hear all the noise coming out from the toilet. Also the toilet door is sliding and cannot be fully close so some smell will still come out
