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Mixed reports: daily cleaning and fresh towels/linen praised, but serious negatives (mould in shower, stained blanket, outdated bathroom) lower overall cleanliness sentiment.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Negative: rooms reported as small, bathrooms outdated and not functional in places, missing TV/kettle, stained blanket and renovation debris — room quality is a clear downside.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.

Gastfreundlich,zentral,
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal, ganz toll, dass man sich rund um die Uhr kostenlos frisches Bier zapfen konnte. Und jederzeit einen Espresso aus einer Riesen Auswahl. Tolle Dachterrasse.
Sauberes einfaches Zimmer mit Espresso Maschine .Die Lage im linken Viertel der Stadt, machte die Szene in den vielen Bars und Restaurants direkt am Hotel spannender als die Plaka Gegend direkt an der Akropolis.

Cons:

Das Bad war extrem eng und die Dusche war zwar sauber aber lud nicht zur Benutzung ein. Besonders Freitags war die ganze Nacht Party auf den Straßen und extrem laut, man ist eben mitten drin mit Polizeipräsents vor der Tür, da dort ein Park eingezäunt wurde als Baustelle für die neue U bahn. Wir hatten aber keinen Baustellenlärm?
Das Frühstücken wird aufs Zimmer gebracht , ist nicht komfortabel.

Okay aber mit Luft nach oben.
Pros:

Das Personal war wahnsinnig zuvorkommend. Sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit!

Cons:

Die Lage, speziell in der Nacht am Heimweg ist ziemlich schwierig. Die Frühstücksbox war ungenießbar. Man bekommt einen Karton mit Frühstück. Der Inhalt ist absolut nicht hochwertig.

Das Rooftoo ist grundsätzlich toll, aber die Jacuzzis hatten 40 grad oder mehr. Also waren unbenutzbar. Obwohl es erst Anfang Juni war.

Pros:

La amabilidad de las recepcionistas, tener café y agua gratis todo el día.

Cons:

El desayuno no me gustó demasiado aunque te ofrecían 3 tipos y se ve más vieja en persona que en fotos el sitio pero supongo como todos.

Pros:

Chambre très propre, confortable très beau décor et accueil hyper sympathique. La possibilité d utiliser des capsules à café nespresso avec machine en chambre pour goûter toutes les saveurs qui existent. Très bel hôtel. Très beau panorama sur le rooftop qui n était pas encore à100% fonctionnel car début de saison (bain à remous à dispo) l été ça doit être très agréable. Le seul hic n est pas du à l hôtel. C est un quartier très animé très agréable mais la nuit compliqué de dormir si vous êtes un petit dormeur. Avec des boules Quies le problème serait résolu. Je recommande vivement car de très belles prestations dans cet hôtel en plein centre-ville

Polecam
Pros:

Lokalizacja hotelu blisko dużej ilości knajpek (za rogiem super pizza na kawałki), bardzo blisko sklep. Personel hotelu bardzo sympatyczny i pomocny. Śniadania są podwane gotowe do pokoju, są do wyboru trzy rodzaje (wszystkie na zimno): klasyczne z wędliną, wege oraz na słodko, super jest je zabrać i zjeśc na tarasie, który znajduje się na dachu hotelu. Na tarasie jest też jacuzzi (2x) oraz miejsca, żeby usiąść i odpocząć. Ponadto przy recepcji jest darmowa woda, kawa, herbata oraz PIWO (albo z nalewaka, albo można poprosić o puszkowe). Pokoje z ekspresem kapsułkowym (przy recepcji jest duży wybór kapsułek), klimatyzacją i niewielkim balkonem, wi-fi działało dobrze. Polecam jako bazę wypadową do zwiedzania Aten, można pieszo dojść do wiekszości atrakcji (np. Akropol ok. 30 min.), a stacja metra Omonia, jest w odległości 8-10 min. spacerem.

Skvělý pobyt
Pros:

Ubytování bylo na dobrém a dostupném místě. Pěšky i metrem se dalo dostat na hodně míst.
Obsluha hotelu byla moc milá, dokázali vyřešit a poradit s čímkoli.
Snídaně byly moc dobré a káva na hotelu také.

Cons:

Jediné, co bych vytkla je občasný zápach septiku, ale nic, co by nevyřešilo zavření dveří toalety. :)

Beter wachten tot het gerenoveerd is
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel

Cons:

Ligging, raam niet geïsoleerd en aan de straatkant hoor je alles en vaak nachtlawaai niet kunnen slapen, badkamer niet comfortabel, geen plaats om je handdoek aan te hangen, wc blijft doorlopen

Het leek erop dat de gratis drankjes er zijn om tekorten te compenseren

Hotel in posizione strategica
Pros:

Hotel situato in posizione strategica: i principali siti (agora, museo archeologico, Licabetto) sono raggiungibili facilmente a piedi. Inoltre sorge nella zona dei locali alternativi, dove è facile trovare un ristorante a buon prezzo o un locale dove sorgeggiare un cocktail.
La stanza è piccola e spartana ma più che sufficiente per un soggiorno di qualche giono.
Inoltre l'albergo mette a disposizione degli ospiti un'ampia (e gratuita) selezione di capsule nespresso.

Cons:

L'illuminazione della stanza era molto fioca.
Sarebbe servita una lampadina più potente
