Location is good is the only positive thing, but there are many other hotels in the area. Air conditioner was not working at all, we had to go ger a fan at 3 am. The bathroom was horrible, shower curtain would not go around the corner shower spraying water all over. Room did not have any natural lighting.. had windows that opened to an inside area. Breakfast had boiled eggs, sandwich bread no toaster, jam ans cheese... could not call this a buffet

Worst hotel I ever stayed at. The staff is very rude. There is no functioning WiFi or air conditioning. In 30 degree heat, they provided one table fan for three persons. The breakfast was of appalling quality. There is no room service and the bedsheets or towels were not changed during our 3 day stay. The hotel also charged us for fees (local taxes) which were already on the Expedia payment receipt. When we asked for the money returned to us after our stay, they verbally abused us with racist slurs.

Staff is nice, just the room was not what i expected. Old school tv with one channel(doesn't matter much) I got the standard room(cheapest) by price. First of all the beds were not durable at all, very soft and the plak popped out from one of them. (Had 2 twin beds) there was no AC(they gave me the fan), had one power outlet, the shower i used twice in a day and had to use cold water because there wasn't any warm water(i had warm water the next day) by that time i have already booked another hotel.

This hotel is flat out disgusting. The Hotels.com reviews were pretty positive for a cheap hotel but in reality this is a horrible place to stay. The AC didnt work, there was no Wi-Fi, we couldnt even shower because water would come flooding out of the drain in the middle of the bathroom. The linens were soiled, the mattresses were stained and the walls were filthy. The worst of it all were the DIRTY FOOTPRINTS all inside the closet...It looked as though someone had been living in there in secret. Worst hotel i have ever been in. It's not at all worth the money that you save. Do yourself a favour and book anywhere else.

Looking at the pictures on, Hotels.com told me to stay here! The interior of the hotel stunk like wet clothes sitting around for years!!! Dust everywhere, The furniture was covered up with blankets because they have not been changed in years. The room stunk like mildew, and my bed was two beds put together! The soap they give you was so small it was a size of a vitamin. The shower was so small water was going everywhere! They have not renovated anything. The furniture was from the 1970s. I was hot every night because there was no air-conditioning in the rooms. I was very disappointed! Read the reviews before you spend your money I was disgusted!!! I’ve never had worse breakfast in my life. The employees there were useless. I asked for extra towel at night and they said no wait till the morning!!! By the way, the towels were ripped and dirty from stains. The old man working the evening shifts has a mean dog that kept barking at customers! The man was rude, Disrespectful to guests And a very unpleasant experience! The lady in the morning (older lady Working the desk) She didn’t care about anything and was not helpful at all. There was a bar that has not been used in years and alcohol bottles half empty sitting there. The television was set up high on the wall it was so tiny It was very hard to see, and the volume was very low even on Max. The remote control didn’t work. The way to get air conditioning was to open the window! The elevator was super small and Had a horrible odor.

Ho passato una notte a Atene in transito. L'albergo è situato in modo ideale per questo. Reception sempre aperta e con un umano presente! A meno di un minuto dalla fermata del métro di Metaxourgeio sulla linea 2 rossa, ottimo se si hanno bagagli. A una fermata dalla stazione ferroviaria di Larissa. A due fermate dalla stazione métro di Attiki da dove partono gli autobus per arrivare alla stazione dei pullman KTEL extraurbani di Lioision che collegano Atene con molte destinazioni turistiche. Da Attiki si può cambiare per la stazione Victoria da dove partono i pullman KTEL per Capo Sounion. A quattro fermate dalla centrale piazza Syndagma dove partono i bus per l'aeroporto, che sempre da Syndagma raggiungibile anche in métro. Insomma se vi dovete spostare difficile trovare di meglio. La pulizia è buona, ma ci vorrebbe un po' più di attenzione: le tendine andrebbero lavate e sul balcone della stanza c'era un portacenere pieno di mozziconi. La mia stanza era carina, molto luminosa e sui toni caldi. Non ho usato l'aria condizionata perché in aprile non ce n'era bisogno, quindi non saprei dire. La hall è molto carina, ammobiliata con antichi tavolini in marmo da caffè e vecchi mobili: insomma lontana da impersonali arredamenti tutti uguali degli alberghi moderni. La gestione è probabilmente familiare e ai miei occhi è un grande merito. Problema: colazione solo dalle 8 in poi. Per me che prendevo un pullman alle 8.30 è stato impossibile farla.

4 éjszakát töltöttünk a Hotelben. A házigazdák nagyon segítőkészek voltak, bármikor fordulhattunk hozzájuk kérdésekkel. A tisztasággal és a légkondicionálással sem volt gond. A reggeli kevés fogást tartalmazott, de ezért az árért nem is lehet többet várni
