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.

The hotel boasts a perfect location. The metro station is just a minute's walk away, or you can enjoy a pleasant 20-30 minute stroll to the Plaka district, where all attractions are then within easy reach. Right outside the metro station, you'll find a shopping center featuring a charming rooftop cafe. It's an ideal spot to unwind with a coffee while enjoying a fantastic view, including the Acropolis in the distance. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Additionally, near the entrance, there's a display with various brochures to help you explore Athens.

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.

I stayed here recently and the main issue is that it simply doesn’t offer good value for money. There are much better and cheaper options in Athens. The biggest problem was the beds. The mattresses were very uncomfortable — you can feel the springs, and even after changing beds it didn’t improve. For the price, this is not acceptable. The breakfast is definitely not worth €6. It’s extremely basic: cheap sliced bread, low-quality ham and cheese, yogurt, cereal, a small cake, and fruit that wasn’t fresh (some pieces were even spoiled). It feels overpriced for what you get. The happy hour wine is also disappointing — it’s just very cheap boxed wine, which doesn’t match the expectation. As for the staff, the cleaning staff were quite unfriendly, often not even acknowledging greetings. However, the reception team was helpful and polite, which I appreciated. To be fair, management did offer a partial refund regarding a pricing issue, which I appreciate. But overall, the experience does not justify the price. You can find better quality for less money in Athens.

The hotel's location is fantastic; you can walk or take a short bus ride to any attraction. It's right in the city center of Athens. The room size was decent. The owner speaks basic English. The cleaning staff were very nice, but they finish work at 12 PM. So, if we were in the hotel at noon, they couldn't clean the room in the afternoon. Our room had a view of an important local landmark, which was great.

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

Sweet hotel. It has a fridge and heating system. They say “no visitors” when you’re checking in. There’s no kettle, but the machine with cappuccino and hot water is at reception. However, it does say that hot water is not for free lol. Like I was making a tea in front of the person at the desk and he also didn’t mention it. I believe that such things must be mention before usage even if it’s only 1.5€. That small thing and “no visitors” spoil the experience a bit.
