Best Western Hotel Museum  

I liked everything about the hotel, from the excellent staff to the accommodation and hotel itself. The location was a plus too, it was so easy to get to the bus station, and many restaurants and cafes available around the corner. I love every single minute of my stay in this hotel! Two thumbs up!

Actually, first time I don't find any flaws on this hotel!

Nice, quiet even though in the middle of Athens, clean and very friendly personnel.

Breakfast was poor and the coffee was horrible

Best Western Hotel Museum is my favourite hotel in central Athens: conveniently located near the Archaelogical Museum and Exarchia Square the Hotel is ideal for people who want to spend a few days in Athens for sightseeing and/or business. The rooms are not very large but they do offer all the basics (plus free internet and a balcony), the staff is friendly and willing to help, the hotel although central is quiet, and it all comes at a very convenient price (incl. Standard breakfast).

Staff were very welcoming and helpful

The location walked past a women smoking a crack pipe in the doorway of a building adjacent to the hotel. Some of the street smelt strongly of urine and lots of vomit on the pavement. Quite off putting.

Very helpful staff, clean rooms, short walk to train station.

The hotel is great value, and the staff are fantastic. My daughter and I were there during the Oct 2011 civil unrest, and we never felt in any bother by it all. The staff, especially Emmanuel, were very helpful with travel arrangements, especially as the public transport were in disarray. We got to the hotel and away with the great help of Emmanuel, and my daughter was most impressed with his calming manner in the situation. The old Greek philosophy of 'there is always a solution', was very evident. The room staff, and kitchen staff were fantastic, friendly, and very efficient. The room was a delifght to stay in and the breakfast was more than adequate to set us up for the day. We walked kilometres every day and it was nice to get 'home' to the room and relax. Thanks to the staff of Best Western Museum, Athens. See you again sometime.

The staff where fantastic.They could not be more helpful The Manager was an excellent person...a great example to others

The location was good.Again the staff where the best

Great staff, very friendly.

The location is very good, (behind the Archeological Museum, every historical spot is practically in walking distance), but there is a big problem with drug edicts in neighborhood.

Staff were very helpful, facilities were excellent, for example free computer and internet access, location was near enough to all major attractions although the area was a bit run down.

The staff and management of Best Western Museum hotel could not be better or more hospitable or friendly. At the front desk are all 4-star mature young English speaking men in their a+ service and assistance. The rooms are spotlessly clean, with fridges to keep things really cold. The internet wifi works like a dream, high speed, always, in your room! They even have a free printer with two standing computers for your use in one of the middle lobbies. The hotel is away from the super tourist areas, all the remade old streets of central athens near the ruins were somewhat Disneyfied for the Olympics in 2004. You are near real Greek restaurants and tavernas, that do not just cater to tourists but to Athenians. You are a 2 minute walk from the best camera and electronics stores in all of athens. You are five minutes walk from the Bohemian and artistic heart of the city, Excharia Square. Even Omonia Square ten minutes walk away with a big 2 line Metro stop there, is tame by New York City standards. Yeah, there are a few anarchists hanging around Omonia Square, but many many shops and stores, which are far better than Athens Mall on a distant metro stop, with jacked up prices, and not really much to choose from. So take it from me, Great Western Museum hotel has a great location if you like culture, real people and not just other tourists, real tavernas, talking quietly with protestors relaxing in the sun in Excharia Square, or shopping for the best deals all in one big square with many little streets radiating outwards from it. There is a grocery store one minute from the hotel. Emmanuel the manager is a prince and born for the job.

Best Western Museum Hotel in Athens was my best experience traveling from Russia to Germany to Italy to Greece, ending up back home in Tbilisi. The hotel is in a perfect location, despite what some south african woman said in her second review, after her second stay in the bw Museum Hotel. Bad things? There is an alleyway near the hotel, full of recovering and exhibitionist junkies, but they are also living in the doorways of the world famous Archaeological Museum of Athens, next door to the Museum Hotel. Get it, world class Athens Archaeological Museum, with the best statues of antiquity inside, is next to the Best Western museum Hotel, next door. Armed commandos are 10 meters from the hotel door, to protect the Minister of Culture in his ministry next to the hotel also. Many government ministers and the manager of Best Western Museum Hotel, Emmanuel, have filed legal briefs with a dozen circuit courts, to no avail, for almost two years, since this junkie problem was flushed from Excharia Sq. To the Museum. But on my 5th day and last at the hotel, the police were in full force flushing the junkies away! The addicts then used the store fronts of the many shoe shops near Omonia Square to shoot up, as a result, an even bigger mess! So the legal letters of Emmanuel the hotel manager, and his minister friends, must be taking effect now. Otherwise, the location is great. I only have a little complaint. The breakfast is not really American. The 2nd day I found the large selection uninviting, including the Russian style crepe pancakes that are called American style. But if you want to save money, the breakfast is fine. The free maps are almost as good as the aaa club of usa.

Great staff, very friendly and helpfull, nice acommodations, good breakfast, every thing great

That very near there was a street full with drug addict doing drugs in the act, not nice

Ideal for the archeological sites. The area around has many homeless but they seem innocuous (but my son was impressed by them). In the vicinity (Exharia) restaurants are good and not expensive.

The security in the area is very poor although the hotel has good qualities of facilities and services.
