Hotel 2-Star di Attica, Greece

It was a good stay for the price. Close to the station, towels are exchanged every day, and there is a cheap and delicious kebab shop right by the side (diagonally in front). The man at the front desk was very kind. However, the location is not very good first. The road from the station to the hotel is not so worried if it is not midnight, but it is not recommended for women. And if you go back to the hotel and go to the right about 3 blocks, you get to the dangerous zone of the Manila slums. There are all kinds of drug addicts. And there is no shampoo or toothbrush in the room. Then, there is no shower curtain, so the toilet becomes rusty even if it enters how well. But you can forgive me if you think about the price. Such a hotel.

So, I am very thankful of Bedbox's existence because it really made my trip possible. Earning Southeast Asian's currency with a big ambition to travel on Euro, it wasn't exactly easy to find a good place to stay. I had stayed there for about a week and got to visit all the museums and historical places that I've dreamed about. It was GREAT. However, I do have a few complaints. I feel a bit bad about ranting about them but I believe that the place can do much better if they are willing to make some changes. First, the bathroom situation wasn't the best. For the female's floor, the hair on the drain was not cleared even after the housekeepers had stopped by. The sink was clogged up for a whole day with disgusting tissues swimming around in it. I didn't feel comfortable stepping on the floor sometimes. The bathroom stalls were so small that it was impossible to keep your clothes and towels dry. They had exactly ONE plug point near the bed. ONE. I've stayed in plenty of hostels and dorms, but never one with just one plug point and no USB charging port in sight. We all own more than one devices nowadays (powerbank, phone, airpods, apple watch, laptop ...) and I had to wake up in the middle of the night to make sure that everything's charged for my next day out. Many of their furnitures such as the bed frames, lockers, and tables were rusty. The beanbags's coverings in the public resting area on the second floor weren't washed for ages and they stank. All these shortcomings were slightly forgivable because of their hospitality in the hostel. All the staffs that I've met at the place were absolute angels. They tried their best to accommodate their guests' needs. They were polite, soft-spoken, and gentle. The location is also very ideal, near the market with some authentic local food and excellent fresh meat and vegetables if you plan to make your own meals in their kitchen. It is near a lot museums and historical places, even if you want to avoid using any public transportation it is absolutely walkable. If you want to take the metro, it is only a few minutes walk away. Overall, I was so thankful of the place but also couldn't wait to leave by the end of my stay. It was a mixed bag and you should choose your accommodation based on your priorities.

I stayed in a single room on floor 4. The room was clean and had a window. The windows opened. There was a new fridge in the room that was fantastic and I was able to have ice cold drinks. The bathroom was small but had everything I needed. The room was cleaned every day and fresh towels and linens provided. The cleaner was very nice. There was enough room for all my bags, it was snug but very good for the price. I ate breakfast every morning. It was a really nice breakfast room. The breakfast is basic but everything is very fresh and nicely presented. Floor 1 had a strong scent of tobacco and I assumed it was the smoking floor. Floor 4 where I stayed was very quiet and I didn’t smell smoke at all. As a non smoking so traveller I have to have theses needs met! The reception staff were very friendly and polite. The hotel is central it’s only a 20 min walk to all the Athens highlights. It’s a great walk too! Lots of interesting shops! The Archeological museum is only a short walk from the hotel so well placed. The train station main line is only 15 min walk too. There’s a great place to have a full dinner just round the corner for around 12 euros which is great value. I loved the shopping in the area. A very comfy stay I would definitely come back. As a solo female traveller I felt quite safe at the hotel. It is a basic clean hotel and at a budget price. The images attached are of the things mentioned including pictures of the room.

We booked last minute and had an early check-in. Was very easy with Trip.com. We had a blocked shower drain with our first shower and they moved us to a different room-fast. This was great! We slept well on comfortable bedding. The balcony was comfortable with captain's chairs and a large table. Breakfast was amazing with fresh fruit, bread and cheese and cold cuts. Eggs and a fresh salad with a meat pie. It was presented on a patio with good shade. The property has an ocean view and actually faces Athens-pretty to see the lights at night. The grounds have a terrace for sunbathing, beautiful rosemary hedges, pomegranate trees and veggie garden spaces-very nicely done. The beach is at the bottom of the hill-not a bad walk-2 minutes. The beach tables/umbrellas were not set up for the hotel as it is officially shoulder season but we pulled down some lounge chairs for our beach time. Make sure if you come here to take the Souvala Ferry as it is walking distance to the property. We arrived at the Aegina Town ferry and rented a car-we wanted one for the trip anyway. Best of all was Debbie-the English version of her Greek name-she was front desk manager and was very welcoming and informative. Her English is good and she is working on it constantly. We will be back to this little Shangri-la hopefully soon.

The hotel is located in a nice place. All the major attractions are 1 - 3 metro stops away, which hardly takes 10-15 mins from the gate of the hotel to the gate of the attraction. The staff is really nice, the person who was doing morning shift on 22nd gave me an early checkin, very kind of him. The lady in the night shift, I think her name is Lana, she is also very helpful. Caffe and restaurant near the hotel are nice, multiple options are there. Now coming to the condition of the hotel - it’s not up to the basic standards. The rooms are very very old, the bathroom is in a pathetic condition ie old fittings, old marble (worst ). The building is in a mess. It looks like the hotel is not renovated since the time it was built. The lifts are scary. The lights in the room are dull. It’s better to book a hostel than this hotel in the same price point. There is a smell of chemicals on the Hotel floors. The hotels next to this hotel are way way better, there are 3 4 of them in the same lane. PS - incase you want to use the aircon they’re gonna charge you 5 euros per day , though I really doubt that the aircon will work, but still. The heater in the room was also not working. In the night you don’t get hot water, it will only come in the morning.

It's missing energy plugs near the bed for charging phone. The room was clean but the shower was too small, no handles, nothing to dry the feet after shower so the room got always wet and with a weird smell. The bed they put me was upper, in front of the air conditioning, i was freezing during the night, couldn't sleep properly. The staff is great.

All the staff were incredibly kind and friendly. The elevator was quite unique, almost like something out of a movie, and it made for an interesting experience. I absolutely loved that elevator! The views of the Acropolis and the church from my room were stunning, both day and night, and truly captivating. It's on a lively street, and with the church bells ringing, some might find it a bit noisy. However, I found it to be such a comfortable and cozy hotel that I know I'll remember it long after I return home.

This is the hotel we returned to after traveling from Athens to Italy and then back to Athens. I absolutely loved the terrace. The sunset view from the 7th-floor terrace at dusk was so beautiful that I booked it again. I loved Greece so much that if I ever come back, I definitely want to stay at this hotel again.

Open late arrived at 9:30pm the lady receptionist offered me to go get freshened up and offered places to eat aall in walking distance at 10:30pm even has a kiosk outside the hotel very safe area for solo female travellers and a bus 15metres away that will take you to Athens for around $5aus including catching the metro train to stagima
