Athens Lydia Hotel

Όλα τέλεια

Near nothing around the area.
Very limited choice.

Maybe you're like me? Fly by the seat of your pants? Thats me and Greece... came here absolutely last minute. No reservations set for anywhere to stay. Thats my fault. And while a hostels are available nearby, I wanted privacy the first night.
The Lydia was alright. I'm grateful because they took me in my first night here. Here are the positives:
1. The front desk is open 24/7.
2. They do provide some room service.
3. Elevator.
4. It has AC but I have no idea if it works. I didnt use it.
Negatives:
1. I didnt know they offered room service until I was checking out...I saw the paper on the bedside when I collecting my things. No mention was made when I checked in.
2. Built-in wall chargers. The outlet stopped working. Idk why. It initially worked fine but then it stopped.
3. Flat screen TV was small. Like 14"-22".
4. The bed. *heavy sigh* ...soft... I cant tell if its old & sagging or if the proprietor bought it soft. No blankets. Fitted sheets on the bed & one extra sheet. This is why I didnt need the AC (lol).
5. The electrical system. If you're reading this, I dont know where your home country is...mine is the U.S.A. Never been out of the country. So imagine my surprise when I thought that management was being thoughful by placing a key holder by the door. Its not. That plastic card has to be inserted to get the lights on. LMAO lesson learned.
6. Where do I start with my favorite part of the room? Blue lights for the....tasteful and discerning client's 🙄😬

The room was fine, spacious and bed was comfortable. The only problem was that WiFi didn't work in my room and this was majorly inconvenient for me because I had to work and wanted to do so in the hotel rather than having to go out. I would have extended my stay if the WiFi was working. I please recommend to hotel staff to have WiFi working in all of your rooms because plenty of people are dependent on it and if you advertise with free WiFi, it should be available in the room.

Very friendly and helpful staff clean rooms nice view very close to the metro station

The property had great access to the metro which was very convenient for travelling into the main city centre. The room was clean, but very basic. The staff were very friendly and check-in / check-out was quick and easy. The electricity in the room was very peculiar because the plug sockets to charge your phones didn’t work if the lights were turned off so it was difficult to charge anything overnight whilst we slept - we had to wait until everything was fully charged before turning the lights off and going to sleep. Would recommend this place if you’re looking for somewhere inexpensive to stay and not planning to linger in the local area. It’s only 2/3 stops on the metro to get into the city centre, so ideal if you wanted a cheap stay with easy access to the centre.

very bad hotel. No more booking.

A last minute reservation and the staff was excellent and accommodating!

The location feels very unsafe especially when darker.
Hotel also felt extremely unsafe and bathrooms facilities felt unclean and limited. Lack of soap. Very noisy because it's right next to a very busy street. Cannot use outlets without the lights on so can't charge phones overnight.
There's no extra lock from the inside for security so anyone with key can easily get in.
Staff will make you pay cash because they don't want to pay credit card fees and force you to go to the ATM outside to get cash.
Wouldn't stay there if you aren't okay with slumming it. Way to pricey for what it is.

It is one of the best hotels in Athens. RRooms are so clean.Staff are so friendly.Food was so good. Such a nice hotel. Recommended .

I loved everything about this hotel as it is in a prime location for transport links & shopping. All areas are kept clean and neat in the room and around the hotel. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. This is my 2nd visit to this hotel because it is so beautiful.
