Good points were definitely location and cheap price but the room and the whole building are very old. Uncomfortable bed, noisy flush in the bathroom and fan not working. The WiFi as well wasn't very good and the receptionist at check-in was quite unfriendly and unhelpful.

The property was great but the receptionist, Sydney, made us feel so welcomed and gave great recommendations! In addition, she was helpful in answering our questions, reserving taxis, and providing great customer service.

The good; - Great access to Larissa Metro - Near 2 large supermarkets - Fairly quiet - Supplied baby cot was excellent - Linen was clean and new towels were given daily - Hotel arranged a taxi to the airport and it was reasonable (€48 on a Sunday) - Local coffee place is excellent The bad; - Rooms had no basic amenities (kettle, cups, tea/coffee) - Shower flooded the (micro) bathroom floor when used - Room layout makes having a baby cot awkward and cramped - Wifi coverage is poor, and internet speed is not fast enough for even Youtube streaming. The ugly; - Restaurant closed in 2022/23, with no plans to re-open. Website still shows this as functioning - ITS NOT! - Bed mattresses are made of stone and linen is old a frayed - Hotel has a single kettle for boiling water. - There is no bar, only a vending machine - It's a 30 to 45 minute walk to the centre, 15 by taxi or 10 on the Metro. I would not walk it even in the cooler months. While Socrates may once have been a good choice, now I would only stay here as a last resort. It's dated, has no facilities or amenities, and is not near to the centre where the good restaurants and cafe;s are. The hotel two doors down would be a better stay if you wanted to be in this area specifically.

Selected for proximity to Larissa Station - therefore airport - and didn’t disappoint. Economical option four metro stops from Syntagma. Clean room, comfortable and helpful staff. Extended stay by a night and would book there again when back in Athens.

For 2 young boys from Canada traveling around Europe this place had everything we needed. Bathroom wasn’t anything special but worked. The two twin beds were perfect for the two of us and it was nice being able to walk everywhere. There’s no where in Athens you can’t walk in less then 30 minutes. Overall it was a good stay for the money

Close to the metro. Easy access to main tourist attractions. The hotel was disappointing as not 3* standard. Just very basic room. A few ants crawling around. Damp on walls and bathroom shower a bit dangerous getting in and out. Hotel has no bar or restaurant. Night staff were very helpful in particular Vasilis.

The room was small and the Bath room was the smallest ever seen, The toilette uncomfortable due limited space to even turn around and a small wash basin and shower adjoining. The floor outside gets wet since shower door does not close well. Since rooms are not cleaned daily had to use wet rug till check out. There was no kettle or cups to make a warm drink. The restaurant in location run down and closed. My husband was sick while there and got worse since no warm water to make medicine and cups. When it would have been nice if we were informed as at checking as I inquired hot water kettle and was informed no kettle in the room. Later next day learnt that hot water could be given. We had a very uncomfortable stay there. No descent restaurant around with nice food even. There was a nice cafe with many coffee types down the road but saw it while on the way to airport. Hotel had not much info.
