Decent staying in the heart of Athens

Good staying options in the heart of Athens. During our stay, unfortunately, there were very noisy works undergoing on 2 floors starting from early morning and during the weekend too. The management didn't care about his guests rest, evidently; very bad decision. Apart from that, the room was clean. The breakfast wasn't impressive either, with badly cooked homelettes and scrambled eggs. The hotel though shines for the amazing rooftop pool overlooking the city and the Acropolis. I would definitely recommend to warm up the water A LOT MORE during the winter so it can be used, and keep it open until late. It has a lot of wasted potential as it is.

Service was great, but area around is pretty shady. The room itself makes the building look like it is coming apart from seams. Eg, cracks along doorway and shower sliding door closes at angle leaving a crack.

The view of the Acropolis was stunning at night from the roof top restaurant. The room was surprisingly quiet for the amount of construction going on in the area. The location was filthy. I never knew how dirty Athens is. No one talks about it. I did not feel safe walking around at night. We made sure to be back at the hotel before it got dark. The smell outside was urine and feces everywhere. Gross. I will not return to Athens.

This was the perfect hotel for our stay in Athens. The views from the room and at breakfast were incredible. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Perfectly located for the Metro and the hop on hop off bus – the stops were just outside the hotel. There was a short walk to the centre or you could just get the Metro (€1.20 for a 90 minute ride). The breakfast was incredible so much to choose from (and again you could benefit from the views) and the restaurant in the evening was just perfect. Athens itself was an incredible city and we also tried some of the local restaurants in the Square where everybody was so welcoming and kind. Thank you.

Our stay was so amazing with The Stanley. From top notch communication, to check-in process ( our flight was delayed) the staff did their utmost to make sure we were well taken care of, so very welcoming and helpful. There are so many great things about this hotel 1. Rooms- very clean and comfortable 2. Breakfast- most amazing breakfast options. You’ll not leave hungry! 3. Proximity from Metro- like literally downstairs! And this is so helpful if you want to go out and about Last but not least, I would like to thank the entire staff and management. Your hard work and dedication is truly amazing. We will see you soon!!

They have two different restaurants, the first one on the first floor with no views and the second one on the ninth floor with a terrace. The people who did reservations through Expedia will have breakfast on the first floor. I didn't understand why either Expedia or the hotel explained that when I did the reservation. My advice is not book the hotel with Expedia.
