Cari Kondo di Athens

"The hotel is quite far from the center, so you’ll need to rely on public transportation regularly. There’s a bus station on the street that takes you to the nearest metro stop and into the city, but buses only run every 20–30 minutes. As for the room itself – when I booked the basic room, there were 36 photos that made me think the room would be larger. Maybe that was my mistake (or maybe intentional marketing?), but either way it felt misleading. The room was very clean, but the bathroom soap was the bright pink mall-style kind, and in the shower there was a bottle of clear liquid that honestly looked like bleach. I really hope that wasn’t meant to be shower gel. The room had no window, only a large door to the balcony, which makes it tricky if you want fresh air at night. The AC froze the small space (and I normally love sleeping with AC), but there was no blanket, only a very thin sheet. So the choice was either freezing or no air. There was no desk or chair in the room – if you want to sit, the only option is the bed. There was a washing machine, but no detergent tabs provided. I actually bought a box of 40 at the supermarket and left them there, but I have a feeling they didn’t stay for the next guest. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again."

"I highly recommend B48 Dafni. It’s slightly off the center but getting to the Acropolis takes a 20 min ride, which is totally fine. The design is minimalist and the apartment is pristine clean and has almost everything you need (cooking supplies, blow dryer, cleaning kit, even a small safe deposit box). There is a shop nearby and some cafes.  A couple of things worth mentioning: if you think about having romantic breakfasts in the balcony, you won’t because the flat is overlooking a very busy highway crossing the whole city, though the smell, the dust and the occasional car noise. The noise level in the room with window closed is ok and they also give you some earplugs just in case.  Note that there is no washing machine, as I was staying for 10 days I had to discover that the nearest laundromat requires a 20 min ride which makes a whole operation very time consuming.  Also the apartments are really located near one another (like hotel rooms). I had pretty noisy neighbours and there was no salvation to this lol :) earplugs do help.  Apart of all that I had really great time there. The bed is really good, the cleaning staff is very nice and helpful (since there is no reception desk they will be the only ones answering your questions non-digitally).  But it totally worth its price and if you’re looking for something cosy and not too pricy this is a very good solution."

"Being just one block south of Syntagma Square, it is well located and within walking distance to most Athens attractions. The section of the road to the entrance is a bit dark and quiet at night though we never felt unsafe. Despite the central location, our room is quiet. Room is clean and spacious and shower is good. Reception is open during office hours only but this was not a problem for us. There is a kitchen which we find useful but we miss a microwave."

"Полностью соответствует цене по качеству - чистые санузел и белье; из того, что можно улучшить - качество уборки полов и отсутствие крепежа для душа"

"Όλα ήταν value for money. Θα πρότεινα να προσεχτεί η συντήρηση των δωματίων ιδιαίτερα του μπάνιου. Γενικά πολυ ζεστό το περιβάλλον και οι υπάλληλοι."

"Accommodation was exactly as described. Clean and tidy with lots of space. The location was great with only short walks to more popular locations and sites. There's plenty of local restaurants and cafes which was ideal for 10 days. We saw warnings about avoiding back streets but actually found a really nice fish restaurant, nice church with kids playing in the streets. There were also 2 reasonable supermarkets in the vicinity, better value than the multiple minimarts in the area. You are right next to the metro if you don't want to walk. You can easily get to and from the airport for 9 euros with only one change. We did the bus tour which operate from across the road. There was a lot of homeless but that was more between the apartment and Omonia. You see them but they're not aggressive or demanding. I've saw a lot worse elsewhere especially in the UK. Couldn't recommend enough, especially for the price. The staff were very friendly, we didn't need to contact them for anything and they only contacted for cleaning and check in and out. The Christmas village was actually the highlight although seeing a tortoise near the Parthenon was a close second."

"The location is incredibly convenient! We could walk to the Acropolis easily, and during our entire stay we didn’t spend any money on transportation at all. Right downstairs from the apartment was a lively neighborhood filled with everything you could need: breakfast spots, wine bars, seafood restaurants, grocery stores, self-service laundromats, and souvenir shops. We even got our hair done at a fantastic salon nearby. Although the check-in and check-out process was self-service, the hotel provided very detailed and helpful local information. The restaurant recommendations were excellent, the Wi-Fi connection was very easy to use, and the room itself was spacious and comfortable. The facilities were also thoughtfully prepared, with all kinds of plates, bowls, and wine glasses available. There was even a walk-in closet and a first-aid kit, which made the stay feel especially well-equipped and comfortable."

"It was a small place in a great central location"

"The room was clean and water were provided as complimentary. Location was great with nearby metro station to get to most of the places, especially from/to the airport and also to the port. We were lucky to be able to get our room before the official check in time and were greeted in a friendly manner."
