Posizione fantastica ma hotel fermo agli anno novanta. E' un buon tre stelle, non un cinque stelle.
Pros:

la posizione è ottima per visitare la città. Le dimensioni della camera. Il ristorante con vista sull'Acropoli

Cons:

La nostra camera era molto buia e spoglia. Il bagno vecchio, con vasca e tenda messi male. La tv è degli anni 90 e si vedono solo canali greci, abbiamo trovato il telecomando rotto e senza batterie. Abat joure rotta. Non c'era il bollitore in camera e neppure una bottiglia d'acqua gratuita. Prodotti da bagno scadenti. Poche prese per i cellulari

Lovely city to visit but wouldn’t be returning to the Royal Olympic, poor breakfast and needs modernising as a hotel
Pros:

Great location and clean hotel. Staff were polite and helpful

Cons:

Original room I booked had no window and was hotter than a sauna with no air conditioning
I was told that was the room I booked! I didn’t see anything when booking that told me the above

Top Lage für die ortsnahe Attraktionen, Hotel Zimmer nicht sehr modern, Cappuccino kostet extra
Pros:

Lage ist TOP, sofern man großen Wert auf die Attraktionen legt (Akropolis, Musen, Parament, Stadtion usw.), alles sehr gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Frühstück prima, bis auf Preis für Cappuccino.

Cons:

Wir hatten Zimmer auf der 6 Ebene; Klimaanlage kühlte nicht; Lichtschalter über eine uralte Schaltung nur zu betätigen, keine klassische Dusche (in Badewanne integriert).
Cappuccino kostet extra, sollte doch kostenfrei sein.

Génial, la prochaine fois qu'on revient a Athènes on réservera directement dans cet établissement !
Pros:

Son emplacement parfait tout près de l'acropole et du musée, mais aussi des restaurants !
De plus nous avons eu l'agréable surprise d'être surclassé !

Cons:

La télévision est d'un autre temps malheureusement, nous n'avons pas pu brancher notre chrome cast vu qu'il n'y avait pas de port hdmi...
Mais ce sont de foutaises face aux nombreuses qualités de la chambre.

Απογοητευτική
Pros:

Το άνετο κρεββάτι

Cons:

Κακή λήψη τηλεόρασης, το προσωπικό δεν ήταν φιλικό, ο φωτισμός στο δωμάτιο σχεδόν ανεπαρκής, ούτε βραστηρας για καφέ δεν υπήρχε, ούτε καν μια μπουκάλα νερό χωρίς χρέωση.

Ужасно
Pros:

Только расположение. Недалеко от центра

Cons:

Нужно называться все своими именами. Этот отель 3 звезды и не надо указывать 5 звезд. Отель и номера очень старые и не ухоженные. В номере были запахи от вытяжной трубы кухни. Нет основных критериев 5 звездного отеля. Нет НИЧЕГО из стандартного комплекта 5 звезд. Считаю что необходимо проводить экспертизу таких отелей перед тем как выставлять их. Просто надо честно написать что это 3 звезды! Если вы ждете комфорт то вам не сюда. Мы не остались в отеле и выехали через 5 минут после прибытия. Несмотря на то что было указано в случае штрафа оплату только первого дня , с нас списали оплату за 2 ночи. Отель даже не ответил booking.com на официальный запрос. Если бы не поддержка сотрудников booking.com и постоянных звонков в отель, то они удержали бы сумму за все забронированные дни (8 дней) я благодарен сотрудникам booking.com за помощь!
