Categories

Cleanliness
5.9
Multiple reviews report poor cleanliness: dusty/dirty towels, unclean apartments, moisture-damaged walls and warped floors; several guests described the accommodation as "disgusting" or in a lamentable state.
Service
10
Service is repeatedly described as friendly and accommodating (good reception, helpful staff). A few operational issues (parking charged, room allocation) were mentioned but overall staff responsiveness was positive.
Location
10
Consistently praised: immediate proximity to metro/train station is a clear strong point across many reviews ('very close to metro/rail').
Room Quality
6.1
Room/apartment quality received frequent criticism: outdated furnishings, very old installations, noisy neighbours, small beds, damp or poorly maintained bathrooms, and some guests were placed in substandard adjacent apartments rather than the hotel.
Amenities
6.3
Amenities are inconsistent: positive notes on basic comforts (AC when present) but multiple problems noted — broken or missing shower, AC controls problematic, no kettle in apartments, small elevator, and paid parking.
Value for Money
6
Several guests felt the price was too high for the quality provided; comments explicitly state the stay did not represent good value and some said it "doesn't deserve the price."
Food and Beverage
10
Breakfast is one of the more positively mentioned aspects: described as varied and the main positive point by several guests despite repetition.
Overall Experience
8.9
Mixed overall: many guests appreciated the location, friendly staff and breakfast, while others experienced serious cleanliness and room-quality problems (some even left without staying). The net impression varies by room allocation, but positives on service and location strongly influence the overall score.

Good choice for a decent stay near train station
Pros:

Excellent location, good security for its location so close to the Larissa train / Metro station, good breakfast on the 6th floor with views, nice food at restaurant with live music at night, pleasant balcony with a nice little table, friendly staff, good value for money

Cons:

No kettle, a little noisy - although to be expected given the location on a main road near the train station.

Me cancelaron a último momento / Last minute cancellation
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Me cancelaron la reserva a unas horas de llegar y tuvimos que salir corriendo a buscar otro hotel a las 11 de la noche. Esto fue porque rechazaron la tarjeta de crédito porque no estaba a mi nombre (era la tarjeta de mi pareja que viaja conmigo). Me avisaron que rechazaban la tarjeta apenas unas hs antes (cuando la reserva había sido hecha 2 meses atrás), les escribí para ver cómo podíamos resolverlo porque Booking no me dejaba cambiar la tarjeta, nunca me respondieron y luego me cancelaron. Pésimo trato, nos hicieron pasar una angustia terrible llegando a Atenas de noche, agotados luego de un largo día de viaje y encontrarnos con que no teníamos hotel.
