On line the pictures look great but this is not the reality. Reception is the only place that should receive a high star rating. The rest of the hotel is probably a 2, possibly low 3 star. It is very tired and in desperate need of re-decorating, especially in the common areas. Exposed flaky plaster on the walls on more than 1 floor. (no sign of any maintenance during our stay) – 7 nights. We had a sea view room so weren’t disturbed by the traffic, but this wouldn’t have been the case on a “city view room” note there is no view of the city, more like “Shell Petrol view” or “Dual carriageway view” Our room was fine, the beds were really comfortable, but this is purely subjective. The bathrooms are very old fashioned. We moved rooms during our stay and in both bathrooms you had to stand in the shower to stand in front of the basin to clean your teeth. Shower curtains were old and were too short to reach the sill, so water leaked everywhere. The hairdryer was fairly useless, the wall mounted kind, the sort you’d have found at the swimming pool changing room in the early 70’s ! Didn’t use the swimming pool as it was dirty – slime around the edges on the waterline. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment. The carpet in all corridors are stained and really quite disgusting. The building next door was under construction and the building work started early, so a very noisy start to the day. Location – The Bad points It's on a very busy 6 lane duel carriageway and very noisy all day and night. Go onto Google street view and see for yourself ! A little bit too far out of Glyfada town, unless you’re OK with a 30 min walk along the beach promenade. However this is flat, easy walking and well lit, so not a problem. There's no real ”life” close to the hotel, apart from the Shell petrol station which is directly opposite the hotel, which is a great location marker if you take the bus from the Airport, or an “Everest” sandwich bar which is equivalent to a Subway. (it’s just a shack) Location – Good points Right on the beach and close to a marina, but was quiet in October so not a real buzz which is what you usually expect from a Marina and they’re usually close to restaurants. There is one, but only 1 which is about a 5 min walk along the promenade from the hotel. Bus stops right outside the hotel so very easy to get a bus from the airport and also into Athens city. The buses are old, filthy but fairly reliable - We bought a 5 day pass which covers trams and buses. Tram stops – there are 2 either side of the hotel - within a 2-3 min walk, so great getting into Glyfada town where there are numerous bars, fast-food and independent restaurants & cafés. Trams are very efficient, timed boards show arrival times, they’re clean, air con and have Wifi, but do take at least an hour into Athens centre.
