Vathí Vacations from SAR1,303

Amazing location with an eager staff to take of you. Best breakfast / brunch included with the stay. We had an amazing room with a terrace with views of the Acropolis. Amazing nightlife / clubbing options.Highly recommended.

very convenient to metro to take to the ferry or airport

Reception staff were never welcoming or friendly, advised early arrival at 11am and they said they would advise if the room was quicker but nothing until asking again at check in time. Never once said hello when coming in or going out, were there for 6 nights. Asked for additional water for the room and directed to the bar, not helpful when provided by room cleaning staff. Rooms were clean but the shower screen was tiny and meant the bathroom was constantly soaking and well flooded after the family showered. Sharp filters all over the bottom of the swimming pool where you would constantly scrape and painfully bash your feet. Very few loungers. Breakfast was average, yes fresh but typical buffet you would get in any hotel so unsure of reviews prior and why they say it’s so great. Frankfurter type sausages and a lot of sweet items, so at least the kids were happy! Orange at the machine was incredibly watery. Bar staff were functional with one friendly lady, Maria Captain who was the only one to ever seem to engage beyond taking orders. Bar and food was significantly higher prices than central Athens which was a theme in the area. Only ordered once. Artion was a short walk and one of the best restaurants around (amazing moussaka and cakes looked wonderful) , slightly more upmarket was Siama a slightly longer walk away, others in the area were not as nice or welcoming. Picked this hotel based on reviews and it didn’t live up to the expectations which was a shame.

Clean and comfortable hotel. No front desk staff was a bit of an issue for us…..we aren’t use to the all digital type room and building entry. Once we got in and in our room it all worked out. We had stayed previously when it was under a different setup and enjoyed it so much that we wanted to return with our family. Location is great with close proximity to train, major sightseeing and places to shop and eat. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Athens.
