Carolina Hotel

Great location and breakfast. Host was friendly and informative.

Average hotel in a busy, noisy street. Beds are comfortable but that’s the only positive. Breakfast is depressing. There is no real coffee, just instant coffee or drip from a boiler. The worst thing was the rude guy on reception. I booked on hotels.com which says there is a 24 hour shuttle available. It turns out there is no shuttle - they just mean they’ll book you a taxi. Which is fine - but when I tried to speak to the guy about this, he kept shouting over me and telling me I was wrong. I’ve genuinely never met anyone so rude in the hospitality sector. He had literally zero customer service skills. It all could have been handled politely instead of shouting at me (for a mistake they made).

Very good location, simple rooms and amenities. Reasonable price. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Great and safe location, walking distance to most touristy spots. Close to restaurants and dining but still in a quiet location. Great breakfast. Clean room

I would definitely consider coming back if you're looking for a small, clean room.

Very gracious and helpful staff and delicious, abundant Greek breakfast.

No frills 3* hotel in great location. We had a small double room with en-suite. Facilities basic but very clean. Decent size bed. Aircon (slightly noisy but guess just not used to it - didn’t need it much anyway at end of May). Free toiletries and coffee making etc in room, fresh towels daily. Small balcony with table and two chairs overlooking the street. Buffet breakfast had wide selection available. All staff very friendly. Excellent central location for exploring all areas of old Athens and main tourist destinations. Metro about 6 minutes walk. We tended to shut the balcony window at night to keep out the street noise, although that varied. Would be very happy to stay again.

Clean light, good breakfast

Bad rooms no windows good place

If you're looking to travel back in time, this very old hotel in Athens might do the trick; unfortunately, it felt like the last time it was cleaned or renovated was in Ancient Greece.

The room I got looked nothing like the photos. Everything from the furniture, curtains, and bed frame were worn and stained, and the antique A/C unit could not keep up with the extreme 40 degree summer heat. To make matters worse, you need to leave your key at the front desk whenever you go out, which cuts the power to the room, turning it into an oven by the time you return.

I also found bugs within the room and bathroom several times, and lastly the elevator is so old it was probably designed by Aristotle.

I lasted half of my planned stay and checked out early to stay at another hotel. Save yourself the trouble and book literally anywhere else!

Thank you - I slept well and the shower was great - high water pressure hot water.

Spotty internet in the whole hotel and terrible wifi in our room.

Hotel between 2 convenient metro stops. Very little space to put clothes if you want to unpack. No dresser drawers, just a shelf. And incredibly noisy all day and late into night! But maybe that is just Athens! View of Acropolis from balcony was nice but you had to put up with loud motorcycles and music if sitting out there. Breakfast is included - lots of choices, both hot and cold. Staff is knowledgeable about transportation options and directions.

Beautiful hotel with a stunning view of the Acropolis! The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The hotel is in the heart of many restaurants and shopping! I’m so glad we chose the Carolina!

Very knowledgeable and helpful staff

The hotel was in a great location, walkable to everything. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Brilliant hotel in a great location. Staff very friendly and helped with information for the city. Room cleaned every day. Breakfast had a good selection.
