A friendly place to stay. The décor is starting to look a little bit tired, but it is in a good location close to the railway station and metro, with a good supermarket within 5 minutes walk.
Staffs are friendly. Nice and clean room.
The male staff at the front desk helped me to find taxi at 0230 in the morning. As a solo traveler and as a female, this is such a big help for my safety. Thank you very much Socrates.
Perfect location. This was our second stay. Same price. The first stay we had a 5th floor balcony with a city view. On this second stay, same room type was booked, but this time the room was smaller and the balcony had no view. The view is terrific, so if this is important to you, negotiate accordingly.
Can hear the traffic very loud, can't sleep well at night.
Bed is just ok.
The shower room is really small that you doesn't know how to sit on the toilet.
Location is 35 minutes walk to Athens centre Which is quite good for us
A convenient shop of next to the hotel but just another next street is mini supermarket. And on Wednesday has street market .
Nice hotel . People working there were nice and helpful . The hotel is conveniently one minute walk from metro and from there is 4 stops to city centre . Restaurants are few minutes walk away .

Liked: Staff & service
2 min from metro station which was great for reaching the town centre. The metro lines are really well connected . Was a little bit nousy at night, but if you are a heav sleeper it won t bother you. One of the blancket was dirty, but they did change the sheets daily. For the price, location can t really complain. The reception staff were very kind and helpful
Can't really complain given the cost.
Location was good, very close to Larissa station and only a 10 minute metro away from Syntagma square. Surrounding area isn't as bad or sketchy as other reviews suggest imo.
Room did smell of smoke initially but I had a balcony so smell went away after having the door open for a while.
Had to pay for water out of a vending machine in reception which was slightly obnoxious but only 50 cent a bottle.
Also, Expedia led me to believe that the city tax was included in the booking but I was still charged 15 euro on site.
Staff were friendly. Room was bare minimum but functional. Would probably use again as a budget option if I wanted to stay in Athens.
Close to metro station and main train station. Room was clean and serviced daily. Supermarket and coffee shops just around the corner from hotel

You get what you pay for, staff are nice and helpful, the rooms are basic and bathrooms are small and a little cramped. But for location and convenience if you are travelling by train it is a great stay. A short 20-30 minute stroll into central Athens, although if walking at night stick to the main roads.
