Categories

Cleanliness
1
Mixed reports: daily cleaning and fresh towels/linen praised, but serious negatives (mould in shower, stained blanket, outdated bathroom) lower overall cleanliness sentiment.
Service
1
Generally very positive: staff described as warm, competent, energetic and helpful; housekeeping repeatedly noted as good. One guest found staff overly attentive at times.
Location
1
Consistently praised: close to metro/tram and centre, easy walking distance, rooftop with good city views — strong location sentiment.
Room Quality
1
Negative: rooms reported as small, bathrooms outdated and not functional in places, missing TV/kettle, stained blanket and renovation debris — room quality is a clear downside.
Amenities
1
Mixed: free water/coffee/tea/beer and rooftop/jacuzzi when available are positives, but missing items (kettle, TV), occasional unavailability of advertised amenities and renovation works reduce the score.
Value for Money
1
Perceived as slightly negative: limited/poor breakfast via external voucher, misleading room photos and small rooms reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
1
Negative: breakfast repeatedly described as limited, not suitable for vegetarians/vegans or varied diets, dry bread and voucher-based cafe breakfast criticized despite free coffees/drinks available.
Overall Experience
1
Overall mixed-to-slightly-positive: many guests enjoyed the terrace, view, location and helpful staff leading to pleasant stays, but persistent issues (room size, bathroom condition, breakfast/amenity problems) temper enthusiasm.

Perfekte Basis für einen Städtetrip in einem der spannendsten Viertel
Pros:

Tolles Stadthotel in Exarchia mit super freundlichem, lockerem Personal. Es gibt zahlreiche Goodies, wie kostenloses Wasser, eine breite Auswahl an Kaffeekapseln und eine tolle Dachterrasse, von der aus man die Akropolis sieht. Für die drei Tage, die wir in Athen verbracht haben, absolut super.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer war etwas in die Jahre gekommen und das Zustellbett etwas durchgelegen, aber das Hotel war insgesamt so sympathisch, dass es uns gar nichts ausgemacht hat.
Jedoch das Viertel ist mitten in einer Identitätskrise zwischen autonomer Vergangenheit und gentrifizierter Gegenwart...verständlich, wenn man die ganzen hippen Bars und Cafés in der Gegend sieht. Super für urbane Besucher:innen, aber auch nachvollziehbar, dass ein Teil der lokalen Bevölkerung sich gegen die Entwicklung (mit Graffitis und teils mit Plakaten gegen Expats und Touris) ausspricht. Wir haben uns nie unwohl gefühlt, aber eine größere Debatte, wie viel Tourismus einer Stadt (und verschiedenen Vierteln) noch gut tut, wäre wohl sehr notwendig.

Exceptionally friendly staff, makes you feel right at home.
Pros:

Exceptionally friendly staff, generous facilities, nice and relaxed rooftop, makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for a polished just-stay-overnight hotel, it may not be for you, but if you come for friendliness and good atmosphere, this is the place!

Tolle Unterkunft für Athen!
Pros:

Super schöne Dachterrasse. Sehr nettes Personal. Man bekommt für den Preis sehr viel geboten (Bier, Kaffee, Dachterrasse, Wein etc)
Lage war auch gut. Viele Restaurants und man kommt schnell in die Innenstadt

Cons:

Die Zimmer wirken auf den Fotos etwas moderner als sie sind. Wir konnten auch unser Fenster im Bad nicht öffnen , da aus dem Schacht dahinter stinkende Luft kam. Das war aber für den kurzen Aufenthalt nicht so dramatisch.
