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Mixed reports: daily cleaning and fresh towels/linen praised, but serious negatives (mould in shower, stained blanket, outdated bathroom) lower overall cleanliness sentiment.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Negative: rooms reported as small, bathrooms outdated and not functional in places, missing TV/kettle, stained blanket and renovation debris — room quality is a clear downside.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

Pros:

Staff was awesome, location is unique, bit different hood but it has it's charms. It takes around 10 minutes to get to main attraction and 5/6 to bus station for most of trips around Athens. Rooftop and hotel beer/coffee is excellent we spend most late evening there.

Cons:

Neighborhood is bit different, but it has it's charms.

Amazing Athens
Pros:

We enjoyed the roof garden open 24 h with a special view on the Licabettus Hill and two jacuzzi, the nespresso coffe and the water were for free and the staff formed by young girls was amazing, always smiling and ready to help you always, over all Yasmine that supported us on the first days with extreme patience

Cons:

The position of the hotel was good but in the evening was always full of police and the first night we found ourself in the middle of a riot which was quite scary

Pros:

La nota positiva è la gentilezza e preparazione dello Staff ,inoltre si ha a disposizione gratuitamente acqua ,birra e Caffè di qualità.
Le dimensioni della stanza erano buone .bagno a parte.
La pulizia era molto buona
Anche il terrazzo a disposizione degli ospiti è un punto a favore.
La posizione vicino al centro lo rende molto comodo per la visita alla Città

Cons:

L'insonorizzazione della camera è inesistente ,per tutta la notte sembrava di avere una manifestazione sul balcone.
l'aria condizionata era posizionata proprio sopra il letto , non si poteva stare con il flusso di aria fredda proprio addosso, ma non la si poteva nemmeno spegnere.
Il Bagno era piccolissimo e non in buono stato ,nemmeno la biancheria era di buona qualità.
Nel quartiere il degrado era padrone, purtroppo come nel resto della Città

Hotel in die Jahre gekommen, punktet mit kostenlosen Getränken und Freundlichkeit
Pros:

Dachterrasse, schöne Aussicht und kostenlose Getränke waren toll. Das Personal war extrem freundlich.

Cons:

Sehr in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel mit sehr kleinen Zimmern. Die Fotos bei der Buchung sahen anders aus. In Wirklichkeit keine Balkontür, kein Balkon. 1,40 breites Bett war nicht komfortabel. Fahrstuhl nicht ausreichend und sehr klein. Abgepacktes Frühstück ok aber nicht richtig durchdacht, da die Kaffeemaschine im Erdgeschoss stand und man alles bis zur Dachterrasse transportieren musste. In den Zimmern überhaupt kein Platz zum Frühstücken. Kein Fernseher und alles sehr spartanisch.
