Pros:

Title: Amazing location and wonderful stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a wonderful stay! The apartment was in an excellent location, right in the heart of Athens. The area is lively, beautiful, and full of restaurants, cafés, shops, and attractions.

Everything is within walking distance, so there is absolutely no need to take a taxi. You can easily explore the city on foot!

The host was very kind, welcoming, and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Athens.

Thank you for everything! ❤️

aucun confort
Pros:

l'emplacement, puisque cet établissement est dans une rue piétonne très très passagère mais sur le chemin de l'acropole

Cons:

Il ne s'agit pas d'un hôtel comme nous le pensions mais de chambres au dessus d'un café restaurant. Pas d'accueil d'hôtel, tout se passe dans le café, il n'y a bien sûr pas d'entrée spécifique pour l'hôtel, et pas d'ascenseur.
La chambre, au 1 er étage n'avait pas de fenêtre mais des vasistas en sous pente, elle était donc très sombre aucun ménage effectué pendant notre séjour, pas de placard mais un portant à vêtements et 5 cintres en tout et pour tout. Sol bétonné, aussi bien dans la chambre que dans la s de bains wc. Rideau de douche ne couvrant pas la totalité du bac à douche, d'où des inondations systématiques lors de chaque prise de douche. En plus le pommeau de douche était en très mauvais état. Compte tenu du prix, qui correspondait à celui d'un hôtel " étoiles, nous avons été fort désappointés.

Πολύ βολική τοποθεσία αλλά όχι τόσο καθαρό καθώς τα σεντόνια και οι πετσέτες ήταν χρησιμοποιημένα και λερωμένα

Overall Athens was brilliant
Pros:

Location is superb, so close to everything

Cons:

The check in experience, we arrived late at night ( which i informed the hotel several times) but when we got there, everything was shut and nowhere to check in.
Our room on first floor was extraordinary noisy as the window couldnt be shut properly.

Any closer you'd be sleeping in the ruins
Pros:

You can't get closer to the old town; friendly staff, big enough room, comfortable bed and good shower

Cons:

Nothing; it's true there isn't a lift but it isn't a huge problem unless you have mobility issues. Location second to none; I'd definitely recommend and stay again!

Very central
Pros:

This is very central the staff are very nice and were helpful. We had a couple of breakfasts in the cafe downstairs.
We had the hot tub room the bed was comfortable and clean. The furniture is very basic no where to put anything, there’s a ganging rail with four hangers. The room at the back of the accommodation is quiet

Cons:

The water had to be switched on due to the time of year, but still was t hot. There is a painted floor in the bathroom and bedroom with no covers at all except a thin rug at the side of the bed. The hot tub area looks undesirable and didn’t feel clean so I didn’t use it. The stairs are challenging going up and down and not for anyone with mobility issues. You get the room door access code and internet access details on a bit of paper

This Hotel is a Rip Off. I would not stay there again if it were free.
Pros:

We liked absolutely nothing about this hotel.

Cons:

Staff not at all helpful or courteous. Room was very old, small and above the bistro which was noisy. It was also very near the commuter train which rumbled by until midnight and resumed at 6:00 AM. Our room was on the second floor with a very steep, narrow staircase. We were offered no assistance by staff. They could not have cared less. I requested a refund but was denied…of course. The hotel is not accessible by car so we had to schlep our luggage at least 1/4 mile. Worst hotel experience in my lifetime.

Super Lage für 1 Nacht ohne Qualitätsansprüche
Pros:

Phantastische Lage in Zentrum, inmitten von Restaurants und Sehenswürdigkeiten, U-Bahnstation in der Nähe.
Nettes Personal im Restaurant empfing mich freundlich und trug mein Gepäck sogar hoch.

Cons:

Fürchterlich lauter Generator gleich vor dem Fenster (obschon ich nach dem ruhigsten Zimmer gefragt hatte). Ungemütlich grelles Deckenlicht mit Mücken-Friedhof. Auf dem Balkon zwar eine zugedeckte Spa-Badewanne, aber alles schmuddelig und mit sonnengebleichten billig aussehenden Kunststoffdekorationen. Fussboden und Duschwanne einfach dick übermalter, unebener Betonboden mit Löchern, zugedeckt vor dem Bett mit unappetitlichem Teppich.
Ich konnte gut schlafen mit Oropax. Aber 1 Nacht reicht.

Pros:

Suurepärane asukoht. Metrooga hästi ligipääsetav ja kergesti leitav.

Cons:

Hommikusöök võiks kuuluda majutuse hinna sisse. Neile, kes armastavad magamise ajal vaikust võib aknaalune rongiliiklus olla häiriv.

A surprisingly comfortable stay in a great location, once you get used to the ambient sounds.
Pros:

So - I booked this place based on a facebook recommendation when I needed a cheap spot at the last minute and couldn't find anything else available. I have to admit - when I arrived I thought I wasn't going to be able to deal with the sound - all the good things that had been proffered were true - location a 4 minute walk from Monastiraki square, view of the Acropolis and Ancient Agora site out the window, discount on breakfast at restaurant - but - how could no one have mentioned that the subway/trains go right by, about every 5-10 minutes, with just a one lane sidewalk between the restaurant and the tracks? I thought I would have to move as I had 4 days and couldn't imagine dealing with the train noise as well as the packed sidewalk with people going by at all hours!

I was soooo tired, I decided I would see how I slept and then decide - WELL! - I slept the best at this place of my whole month long travels - I don't know why but I fell in love with the place - I felt very safe - the street car sounds receded into background along with the voices of everyone talking - the murmur was comforting.

The woman running the hotel and the restaurant below was SO KIND and helpful! She quickly ran my heavy suitcase up the stairs - and when I had to leave very early in the morning - before anyone was at the restaurant - I was able to have help to store my suitcases down in the restaurant so I wouldn't have to wrestle them down by myself.

The bathroom was well appointed with excellent shower, etc. The restaurant food was very good taverna style offerings - it was always packed with folks who seemed like locals - I loved this! Also, the location is AMAZING and view was beautiful at any hour!!!!!

Cons:

The only other thing that bothered me was the locks on the doors - it was a combination lock and the buttons made a loud chirping noise when you keyed each one in and then it would announce - "Unlocked" and then a few moments later "Locked" - so I knew when any of the other people in other rooms were back because I could hear the locks.

I wish there was a safe in the room.
