Small and affordable hotel in the middle of where the action is
Pros:

The location of the hotel was excellent, in between Monastriaki and Plaka areas and five minutes from Syntagma Square and the shopping area off Ermou. The hotel was very clean and had a kettle in the rooms. Although the rooms were on the “cosy” side, that didn’t affect our stay. George on Reception was a delight; he was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. He stored our bags before check in and after check out times, he booked taxis for us. He is a lovely kind man.

Cons:

Nothing

Cheap and cheerful stay.
Pros:

The location was superb!! We were only minutes from outstanding bakeries, restaurants and all main sites! The staff were helpful and friendly, the premises felt safe which was important for our family.

Cons:

The locations is LOUD!! Be aware the bells of the church go every 30mins even through the night!!!
The mattress was uncomfortable and the room smelt a little damp but these are things that go with the price tag so you can't really complain too much!!

Brilliant location
Pros:

I like how close it is to everything and the staff are really friendly and value for money was good

Cons:

They didn’t have a lift (unsure if this is stated in the property advertisement) I was on the 3rd floor and was a struggle to get my luggage up. Bathroom needs some tlc but again was cheap so you get what you pay for.

Βολική τοποθεσία. Ευρύχωρο δωμάτιο. Πολύ καλό σύστημα αυτόματου κλειδώματος στην κεντρική είσοδο όλο το 24ωρο.

Cons:

Καθόλου άνετο κρεβάτι και μαξιλάρι.

Great location, particularly for metro and buses. Rooms adequate and staff helpful.
Pros:

Good location in Athens, very nice staff. Good to have the terrace and my balcony

Cons:

The corridors have pretty many carpet which was off-putting and the light on the 2nd floor didn't come on. Stairs were steep to get luggage up and down. Better labelling of which external keyboard to use: I could work it out at midnight and I later helped others who were confused.

Fine location but so uncomfortable!
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

My room was extremely small, so small that I couldn’t open up my luggage. The bed was tiny, uncomfortable and sheets low quality.

Really nice small hotel. Perfect for exploring central Athens. Good value for money.
Pros:

Very central and in a cozy and overall quite area. The room was spacious and clean and the beds were nice.

Cons:

Sime noise/music from the nearby restaurant. But I guess that is unavoidable with such a central location.

Tolles Hotel, sehr freundliches Personal in allerbester Lage
Pros:

Eine bessere Lage kann man eigentlich nicht finden. Das Hotel ist witzig, klein. Die Zimmer sind zwar sparsam ausgestattet, aber es ist alles da, was man braucht.

Cons:

Mit der Matratze bin ich zuerst nicht so klargekommen, aber das hat sich dann während des Aufenthalt

Pros:

A localização é o diferencial. O quarto é pequeno mas confortável e limpo. As instalações são antigas mas funcionam.

Cons:

O box para banho é muito ruim. Não há espaço suficiente para um banho minimamente confortável. No mais não tenho reclamações.

Optimale Lage im Zentrum und Nutzung des Balkons lassen etwas über bestehend Defekte hinwegsehen.
Pros:

Die Nutzung des großen Balkons haben wir sehr gerne genutzt. Den Blick auf die Akropolis war möglich.

Cons:

Erneuerung der Dusche oder zumindest eine Reparatur wäre angebracht.
