SECOND TIME THERE - WOULD GO BACK WITHOUT ANY HESITATION
Pros:

THIS IS IN A FASCINATING PART OF ATHENS - WHERE YOU WILL SEE LOCAL PEOPLE ENJOYING THERE DAY AND NIGHT ACTIVITIES , AND PLEASE JOIN IN WITH THEM - LOTS OF BARS AND SOME RESTAUARNTS WITHIN A SHORT WALK, ITS AWAY FROM THE TOURISTY BIT ( WHICH OF COUSE IF AMAZING)
IF YOU LIKE A GOOD WALK INTO THE CITY FIRST AND A STROLL BACK THIS IS THE PLACE, WE DID , BUT TAXIS ARE VERY ECOMOMICAL IF YOU PREFER THAT , SOME GREAT VIEWS OF ACROPOLIS FROM ONE OF THE ROOMS - WORTH A BOOK

Cons:

NOTHING

I had a very comfortable stay here. Everything was very clean and the building is well maintained with clean walls and new floors. There is a balcony open until midnight with a great view.

Cons:

Check that the location is appropriate for what you want to do and experience.

Pros:

Très bon rapport qualité prix. Hôtel situé dans un quartier atypique et très sympa loin du tumulte touristique. L'hôtel ne donne pas sur une rue ou un boulevard et donc c'est très calme. Le petit déjeuner est très correct avec une belle vue depuis la terrasse. Propreté impeccable.

Cons:

Il n'y a pas de métro à proximité mais il y a des bus régulièrement. La chambre et la literie sont un peu vieillissantes mais par rapport au prix c'est très correct. Le personnel fait son travail mais sans plus. Encore une fois par rapport au prix on ne demande pas plus.

This is my new favorite place in my favorite neighborhood in Athens.
Pros:

This cool little hotel was a total surprise and my favorite place we’ve stayed in Athens. We booked it last minute when we had to move out of our previous hotel because it had mold and the room was making my girlfriend sick. We have had a struggle in Athens finding really clean hotels that didn’t have bad smells, moldy bathrooms and Air Conditioners. We were so relieved that our room at Orion was comfortable, charming and TOTALLY CLEAN. The air conditioners were well cleaned and maintained and the bathroom spotless. The staff were all awesome, especially Panos at the front desk. The entire experience was just right for our tastes and budget. Totally clean, mixed with Exarchia effortless cool, excellent service and Greek hospitality from authentic, gracious staff. There’s a great rooftop with a view of the Parthenon where they serve a healthy breakfast for 9 euros. Strefi Hill Park is across the street. I wanted to extend our stay there but they were booked.

Cons:

They were booked when I wanted to stay longer!
