Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was small and the Bath room was the smallest ever seen, The toilette uncomfortable due limited space to even turn around and a small wash basin and shower adjoining. The floor outside gets wet since shower door does not close well. Since rooms are not cleaned daily had to use wet rug till check out. There was no kettle or cups to make a warm drink. The restaurant in location run down and closed. My husband was sick while there and got worse since no warm water to make medicine and cups. When it would have been nice if we were informed as at checking as I inquired hot water kettle and was informed no kettle in the room. Later next day learnt that hot water could be given. We had a very uncomfortable stay there. No descent restaurant around with nice food even. There was a nice cafe with many coffee types down the road but saw it while on the way to airport. Hotel had not much info.

Not the best, just ok!

Good points were definitely location and cheap price but the room and the whole building are very old. Uncomfortable bed, noisy flush in the bathroom and fan not working. The WiFi as well wasn't very good and the receptionist at check-in was quite unfriendly and unhelpful.

Conditions incompatible with life!

The hotel room was as cold as a freezer; there was no central heating, and the air condition wasn’t working either. Instead of a proper blanket, we were given a thin and worn-out duvet. We visited at the end of December and couldn’t sleep all night because we were freezing. The sheets and towels are extremely old and faded, likely never replaced since the hotel first opened. The bathroom is so outdated and gives off such a dirty impression that we couldn’t even bring ourselves to use it or take a shower. Conditions are incompatible with life! We will never visit this place again!

Great hotel for a great price

Good hotel. It has everything you need at a price you can’t beat. Good shower with hot water. Clean beds. Nice balcony. Television. Close to the train station. 24 hour front desk with helpful staff. I would certainly stay again next time I’m in Athens.

Close to the metro. Easy access to main tourist attractions. The hotel was disappointing as not 3* standard. Just very basic room. A few ants crawling around. Damp on walls and bathroom shower a bit dangerous getting in and out. Hotel has no bar or restaurant. Night staff were very helpful in particular Vasilis.
