Marina Hotel Athens

Bed was too hard, room was dismal, but breakfast was spectacular.

Breakfast

the rooms are nothing like the pictures, the batroom was size of airplane bathroom, and people shooting herion into there ankle area right in front of hotel

The hotel was good, we had a great service but the neighborhood was scary.

Convenient for walking places. If you require an elevator prepare to wait as there is one 2 person elevator.

Well situated, good value for money, extremely friendly staff.

Nice clean hotel with friendly and helpful stuff

Complete waste.... Filthy room, Everything in Dilapidated condition. Bathroom seemed to ne from the 80s..Stained bedsheets, no kettle, very noisy surroundings.. Filthy carpets. Only good area is the reception.. Staff is very nice and thats perhaps the only saving grace... Breakfast is good too.. If you are looking for a clean hotel in a good neighbourhood this is not the one.

Great location nice hotel it was adequate but all rooms are close to the elevator since it's a very skinny 7 floor building. If you're a light sleeper it's not the place to be like me. You can hear elevator noise starting at 6:00 a.m. and people chatting in a hall.

Though Hotel is close to Omonio metro station, the street where hotel is located was too dirty with lot of people around having drugs. There were syringes on the entire stretch and people sitting on the street having having drugs. We were finding it bit difficult to moved around at night as it poses risk.

As far as hotel staff is concerned, one staff denied giving us packed breakfast on the day of checkout. We informed him previous day evening but he says we should have informed them previous day morning. Nowhere we have seen such a demand. Previous evening was good enough to pack breakfast next day.

About cleanliness, the housekeeping team was not cleaning the carpet everyday and the towels were not changed. One day even the bed was not made. Bathroom was dirty too and no place to hang our clothes. It looked very old property

First time to Athens so didn’t know the neighbourhoods of the city. Turns out the hotel was in a neighbourhood which was not good. There were lots of drug needles all over the street, lots of homeless outside and builds around were vacant and dilapidated. Hotel condition was not very good, really run down and the shower leaked all over the floor through the tiles, shower curtain was dragging on the floor and mouldy.
The one thing positive was the staff who were very friendly.

The staff at the Marina hotel were lovely and couldn’t do enough to help us but this is not really a hotel. It is more like a budget hostel. Rooms were very small with bedding that did not fit - and rubber under sheets which were uncomfortable and hot. It was very basic in every way. Everything was old and only just working.
Breakfast had a lot of choice but nothing was more than the most basic quality. If you are expecting a budget hostel it is fine.
Very noisy at night and the walls were so thin you could hear everything.
We did not get one good night’s sleep and in fact checked out and paid to go somewhere else for the last night.
The worst aspect , however, was the road it was in. Everything you read in other reviews is true- it is horrendous at night. We got a taxi back to the hotel door every night and every taxi driver commented on what a dangerous area it is. There was a security guard on the door through the evening but we did not feel safe walking back there in the late afternoon/ evening.
We feel very sorry for the hotel staff - they made a real effort but the area has been abandoned…….. we would not recommend this hotel for anyone!!!

Good breakfast. Well behaved front desk. Very informative. U have to request for iron board/iron and kettle , it’s not in the room.
24/7 accessible Very good storage facility free of charge.2euro locker charge in the baggage storage room if u need one.

Stayed in this hotel in early March of 2025. After reading all the negative reviews I was getting ready for something terrible … but it wasn’t bad at all!

The hotel is a bit old but it’s clean, the room was really tidy and had all useful stuff that you usually need (except for the kettle, that would make it a better stay haha but not that serious). My room didn’t have a view at all, but I wasn’t really hoping for a view so it’s also fine. At night it was a bit loud outside sometimes. The breakfast was also good/tasty (not many varieties but more than enough to choose from). And the best part was the staff - always nice and friendly, will help you with everything! Room service- also very polite and friendly. Also there is security outside which also means a lot.

As for the neighborhood - yes it’s bad, but it’s not the hotel’s fault. You do need to be careful for a few moments once you get to the bigger street. And sometimes you see really bad stuff that’s happening there. Made me sad and scared a few times, but nothing bad happened. It’s very close to the city center so you can walk pretty much everywhere, very convenient.

It says 3 star hotel. But I feel it is a 1 star hotel. The room heater does not work properly. The room was cold. There was no phone in the room to contact reception. No cattle. Not many varieties of Breakfast. No fruites. The most annoying thing was terrible smell. There were constant bad smells coming from the bathroom window, and it came to the room. They don't keep any air freshener in the bathroom either. I stayed 3 star hotels in different countries, and that is by far worse in my experience. The location is not lovely. Looks like scary and abundant slum. Junkies were everywhere staring at me.

Hotel was ok but the street leading up to it was very dirty. In evening we had people injection hard drugs(possibly heroin but I am no drug expert) leaving dirty needles at side of pavement.

Other than that the the sightseeing was excellent just the road leading to hotel was bad feature.

Not recoomended

The hotel is great value for the money but there is no bar restaurant. Breakfast is very good and was included in our package. Saves about 30 euros a day.

Staff make the place as they help you anyway the can!!

The immediate area is sketchy but we had no issues. Security Guard outside at nights. Turn right out of the hotel and a block and a half up (literally) and you are on the main drag. Walk to Amonia Square/subway in minutes.

Location is good. Needs a bit of updating, more food service options.

The hotel was good for the price but the area where the hotel is located is kind of sketchy, I felt safe but I'm a big guy, there were some strange characters near the hotel.
