This was not a palace by any means but was fantastic if you're looking for a cheap hotel. It's very close to the Metro and the staff was nice. The place was pretty quiet and the place was older but clean.
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.
Our stay was very good. The room was ready earlier than scheduled. Check in was polite and hassle free. Room was clean, secure and well lit. Also had refrigerator.
Shame the adjacent restaurant had closed. Looked like it had been a very nice place to eat. We chose this hotel for easy access to train and subway station. Grocery store also within walking distance which has a walk away breakfast-coffee counter inside.
room 606, comfortable beds, no bed bugs, corner room, top floor, ac cold, balcony absolutely huge incredible balcony; amazing front desk staff that remembers us staying there through the years… very beautiful and kind front desk manager or owner in the mornings. Only downfall is the cigarette smoke everywhere; as non- smokers it is beyond brutal and we had trouble breathing and sleeping because of it! However it’s our go to hotel ANYTIME we are in the area! Thank you! Great job for housekeeping keeping the rooms spotlessly clean!
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 .
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.

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
Clean hotel. Reception staff not very friendlt or welcoming. Double room abd rooms with a ciew are more comfortable.

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 .

The staff were very good, and helpful. Location was very close to train station.
Good location near suburban and metro lines. However, hotel needs renovations and improvements in lots of areas.

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.
