Stanley amazed me in the photos when I was booking it. I was excited for our stay here as we will be spending few days in Athens. There are cheaper properties around however I chose this hotel given it’s quite pricey so I think it will deliver. Check-in was smooth but Lo and behold, the lady who assisted us chucked us in a very outdated and a room meant for those with special mobility needs. I was really dissapointed and argued with myself whether to ask to be moved or not. I showered and nearly slipped because the water was everywhere because I think I was meant to sit while showering?Even my husband, who normally would not complain, asked if we could transfer hotel as this was really not pleasant at all. This was far different from the photos in the website. I spoke to the lady in the reception and told her my concern. She wasn’t pleasant at all. Although she did move us eventually ( but on day 2 of 3 and to a better room with new facilities , better television and cleaner toilet) The way she sighed and argued telling me” that room is not only for special needs” and even raised her voice when she was explaining the move which I told her that I understand her and she didnt have to speak to me that way(very condescending). I thanked her but no acknowledgement nor even an apology for not meeting a customer’s expectation. I felt a bit cheated and undermined with the way we were treated whilst those I encountered in the lift or breakfast area sounded happy with their stay.

Situated well for a 15 minute walk to a good restaurant district, the Hotel Stanley and her staff couldn’t have been more welcoming! Superb 9th floor restaurant and a bracingly chilly pool with views over to the Parthenon made for a special spot. Thank you to the kind staff who went above and beyond to make our stay special, one of whom enquired multiple times about our son, having remembered his name without needing to ask twice. Not a cheap stay, but worth every penny.

The rooftop restaurant's prices were way too expensive for their taste and quality. The breakfast had a good varieties but the taste of most of what we ate was OK. The room quality doesn't deserve 4 stars. Their service was ok.

Short trip to athens

We stayed at The Stanley for 5 nights in April 25. We had high expectations from the photos shown for this hotel . Whilst the rooftop bar, pool and lounging areas are lovely with great views, the rooms were exceptionally poor. More like a 2 star hotel room than a 4 star one. However the hotel staff were very pleasant and the hotel was located next to a tube station which was really handy.
