athensotel

The location is great because it is right next to the metro that goes directly to the metro. I was only staying one night in between flights and that is why I picked the hotel. I am not new to Athens, I have stayed many other places before. I also booked this because my usual go-to were booked. I don't believe the ranking is correct. I would give it a 3 stars, top. There is no breakfast, no 24 hour front desk (after midnight you have a key to enter the building). The area is nice, but the hotel itself is tucked in a closed alley so... safety isn't the best. it is right infant of a bar: very loud too. I don't know what is the deal with the "pool" (which is an average size jacuzzi, in the rooftop). When I went up it was closed. Maybe you have to ask ahead of time? My room was on the small side, which is fine, and clean. Bathroom super small and had a window in the shower. Certainly a "no frills" room: there was barely soap. Now, if it were a 3 star, with a 3 star price, I wouldn't be saying anything. But for the price I paid I was expecting a little better. Three stars in the area or in Omonia provide very similar accommodation and they provide breakfast.
