Disliked: Amenities
We arrived late for the check in almost midnight and the guy at the front desk was really nice. The property is located in a very steep street where most taxis don’t like to go up and drop off at the bottom of the hill then have to go up through a really high street stairs or the steep alley, the building is old but clean, the bathroom is really small that an overweight person will definitely not fit in the little shower, the tv didn’t work and when asked the other guy at the front desk he just said he didn’t know and to try to get the remote closer and see if it works (it didn’t) breakfast was ok but for 9 euros is not worth it. The best part of the hotel is the view from the rooftop that you can see the acropolis from there. The buildings around are full of graffiti but i guess that’s part of the culture and we felt safe walking around day and night.

Good accommodation. Slightly up hill. Worried it is feeding the gentrification of the area - didn’t realise there was a fight back against tourism in the area or I wouldn’t have stayed there. Generally a good experience though

Wonderful! Perfect place for the perfect stay

Our stay at Orion and Dryades was fabulous. Within walking distance of multiple and great restaurants. Our hostess was equally wonderful and accommodating. They go the extra distance to make sure your stay is comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to stay in Athens City Center.

Excellent friendly staff! This was our first stop on a tour of Greece and coming straight from the airport - it was great to arrive at a nice clean and cool room. It is a quick 7 min walk to the national museum of archeology where you can pick up the hop on hop off bus. For our 2 night stay in Athens it was perfect. A delightful bakery at the bottom of the street with fresh treats and sandwiches, refreshing coffee and super friendly staff - it made us feel so welcome to a new country for our family holiday! The restaurant down the steps in a converted primary school was so picturesque, friendly staff and amazing first meal in Greece and we were off to a great start!

Pleasant, clean, and pretty quiet

I stayed in a single room. It was pleasant, clean, and pretty quiet. I could see the Acropolis from the window in the distance. There is an elevator at the property. I paid 7 Euros for breakfast and it was really good. Lots of choice from the buffet, I would certainly recommend. Bathroom a little on the small side but all else was good.
