In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book

  • Metro proximity and easy city access — The hotel is a few minutes' walk from the Metaxourgeio metro station, which guests say makes reaching Syntagma and the airport straightforward.
  • Helpful and service-minded staff — Reviews frequently praise the front desk team for giving maps, explaining public transport, and suggesting attractions.
  • Good value for money — With rates from £28 and a solid breakfast, guests describe the hotel as a great deal, especially given the location and views.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness score below average — The guest rating for rooms and cleanliness is 7 out of 10, slightly below the hotel's overall rating and the area average of 8.8, suggesting some rooms may feel dated or vary in upkeep.
  • Breakfast ends on time — One reviewer advises not to arrive too late for the buffet, as it finishes at the scheduled time — an early cut-off could catch late risers out.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — Parking is not listed among the hotel's amenities, and the input does not indicate any parking facilities, which could be a challenge for guests driving in central Athens.

“Nothing was too much trouble, and I'm grateful for a really good stay. The hotel is reasonably clean, the staff are service-minded, and the location is ideal, close to the metro station, sights, and a 24-hour bakery/takeaway nearby. Breakfast had warm options and fresh bread and cheese. Great value for money, rooms well maintained with fresh towels and even a view of the Parthenon. Very good service and local food.”
