Apollonia Hotel Apartments  

Warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere

The hotel room in which we stayed was in need of a serious makeover, with many unfinished or unsatisfactory details. However, if these issues were addressed then I would stay again

The hotel staff was helpful.

The hotel appearance is unattractive, rooms' condition is below average, poor cleanliness, old and broken furniture, no international tv programms, weak security - hotel is open for free entrance for anyone around the clock. There are problems with electricity sockets availability. There is plenty of mosquitos, but there were no mosquito screens or any other protection means.

The amount of bugs. One night we got attacked bybugs and had a rash on our faces, asked the cleaner to change our sheets for us. This wasnt done. Location is horrible 40mins out of athens. Room was nice but so far out, 15 min walk to a bus stop.

Unfortunately nothing (except quiet area).

There is only one person at the reception desk. The air conditioner couldn't provide a comfortable temperature in the room even after working throughout the night. Worst blankets I have ever seen in Europe an North America. We couldn't sleep. There is no privacy. We got this hotel scored 7.3 in your website , and booked it as we needed to stay one night close to the airport before flying out the day after. By the way, since then, they lowered their price from 55 to 40 euros. They don't deserve even this price.

A kitchen to cook and a fridge was avaliable in the room. If you have a car the situation isnt that bad. The staff is friendly.

The toilets never worked properly they had to come every morning to fix it.

Well, this hotel is indeed not that bad as I read one review when I decided to make a reservation. No, it's not a 4 star, maybe once but not these days or for several years. But the room is still working, and even have a flat screen tv set, what a surprise. And the free wi-fi worked fine during my stay. The price is good, 60euro/night for 4 adults, and we offered a bigger apartment which can easily sleep 6 or even 8 person. The kitchen equipment are barely stock, not much but ok for preparing a light meal. And you can ask for more equipment from the front desk if you need more according to the hotel information. And we borrowed a scissors for dealing with the fresh fish we bought from the local fish market (one of many fishing boats in fact, at the port, very interesting experience, just 3mins' walk from the beach). And the hotel is not far from the beach, though not along the beach. 5Min's on feet. But if you want to go to the public beach which is free, there're 10 more mins at least on your feet. Well, the organized beach is free of charge during the winter season, maybe from October? Not sure, but we're there in October, and it's free.

The doors in the apartment could really use a renovation. I would not be surprised if someone would be seriously attacked by mosquitoes in summer, as there's no closing door for one of the bedroom that open to the balcony. We found that out one night when our neighbor was out on their balcony partying until mid-night.

Very helpful staff. Spoke good English and went out of their way to explain public transport systems, arrange taxis etc. Not luxurious but all there...local restuarant Noxomos (Sp?) bad...dreadful food. Family bed room fine with table for eating, microwave, kettle, sink etc.

Beach seems more than 200m from hotel...it's up a hill. Not sure air conditioning worked...and no sockets for moving fan into bedroom.

Big apartment, clean and tidy.

Quite expensive, supposed to have 4 stars; however I would have rated it 2 to maximum 3 stars. I wonder whether they gave the stars to the hotel themselves?The hotel was old, worn out, reception untidy... Though we had to leave in the morning 9.15 for the airport, they insisted that they would have breakfast ready for us at 9 P.M. when talking to them at night (not possible before 9 pm.) There were no people in the kitchen when we came for breakfast- we had to search for some wanting to do it. When it finally came, it was very disappointing. The area is definitely not an area that could be recommanded!

Had been there 4 years ago, knew what to expect. Walking distance to organized beach.

Need clean up and fresh coat of paint. Garden should be kept groomed. The place has potential, but does not seem that the owners bother.

The Apollonia Hotel Apartments were in a fab location - just a ten minute walk to the beach, 15 minute drive to the thriving neighbouring spots of Vougliameni and Glyfada. The rooms were kept clean, the pool downstairs was never too busy and you were pretty much left alone during your stay. We would stay again - great prices. You get what you pay for and slightly more with the fab location.

The only downside to the apartments is that the towel changing / bed making service seemed a bit hit and miss (seemed to be every other day / sometimes one in three days). However, we did not complain and if we needed new towels, we simply requested from the cleaners as and when we saw them on our way out. The kitchenette was great BUT there were no pots for boiling food - bring your own.

The helpfulness and consideration given by the staff, and location very clean

It was very convenient for visiting family over Easter in Varkiza. Also suitable for beach holidays. Good value for money.
