Athinaikon

Excellent staff, the owners are very helpful and friendly. Location is good, althought just on the edge of the dodgy area.

It was close to historical sites and the Plaka plus the huge markets

No elevator

realy simple, basic hotel situated in the heart of the Athens. the good variant for the people who are not comfort-addicted and prefer to spent time not in room but in the city. free wi-fi and nice, hospitable owners.

in my room there was only small window with a view on a wall. there was no daylight at all. the level of noise (when somebody speeks in a hall, goes upstairs by woody steps etc.) were realy high.

We found that the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room that we got had all the basic necessities to be expected for the price we paid for. Importantly, it was clean and we did not experience any danger walking back late at night.

Noise levels, as our room faced the street however that's the offside for getting a place with good location as all of the streets in Athens city centre are noisy! The hotel could probably do with fixing up of their windows to make it more soundproof but as I said, you get what you pay for.

The women at the reception (so called) is very nice an friendly. The room was clean.

I wouldn't recommend it to a girls/women travelling alone. It can be quite dangerous to walk back to the hotel at night. The drugdealers and hookers were screaming outside all night long.

The location is an easy walk (10 minutes) to the Agora, Acropolis, Plaka, and Monostiraki station if you need to take a train. It's a 20 minute walk to the Archaological Museum and Temple of Zeus and other sites also. The woman at the desk is helpful. The location compared to other hotels we looked at near Ommonia Square is great especially for the price. Ommonia is ten minutes away but you notice a dramatic difference.

Somebody smoked on our floor and it seeped into our room a couple nights. If you're on the street side (we weren't), I imagine it's pretty noisy. The sign is obscured by scafolding so look for the address. The older man at the desk isn't exactly endearing but he was only there occasionally. He was on the phone one night yelling at someone and woke us up on the 3rd floor. The wooden stairs create a lot of noise and there's no elavator.

Many of the historical sites were within walking distance -- the price was very afordable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Many local interesting small shops of ethnic interest and cafes handy.

After dark, my wife was very uncomfortable right outside the hotel area, when alone, due to the type of people on the streets -- was okay when on main street -- just around the corner.

friendly staff, proximity to center of the town,value for money

I like that the hotel is near the city center.

Good central location near the centre of Athens. Close to some good resturants and sight seeing.

It was not a problem for me but you need to note there are a lot of stairs to climb in this hotel and there is no lift. Nice owners.

The staff was really kind and helpfull. Price is quite cheap for Athens, but location is awfull !!! Really dark street not really where you want to hang out ... Lucky the taxi dropped me right in front of the door, because I would have been scared to walk there by myself !!!! (and i'm a guy !).

Free Wi Fi. Was the only good thing. And the location is quite central

There was no elevator which made it hard to carry our luggage to the third floor. We had not blankets either. Only sheets. I was very upset with my stay at this hotel.When we arrived there was construction work going on to the whole building. We were unable to open our window as the construction metal was in the way. IT was loud and hammering was going on all the time

The hotel is very central and near tourist attractions.

Room was quite small - lots of scaffolding/repair work going on,
