Dryades Hotel  

Location, Exarchia, has great bookstores with Greeks who make every effort to communicate with you. This is not a fashionable neighborhood but a creative and political magnet for artists, musicians, craftsmen, socialists, and anarchists.

Booking.com has the wrong street name.Anexartissias is the name of the street, not Dryades. Because of the taxi strike, I had to carry my luggage up a very, very steep hill at mid day in July, and booking.com had thehotel's location at Benaki and Dryades, but Dryades is not a street. I don't know whose fault that is, but please.

location is excellent, you can walk to the centre

The room was very comfortable with a very good shower. There was a small balcony with a (partial) view of the Acropolis. Hotel in a quiet location.

The hotel is in Exharia, one of the grittier areas of Athens. Some people may be put off by the amount of graffiti and street art. We found most of the shops were closed and shuttered - on a Saturday afternoon - which was unnerving at first. Having said this we did not feel threatened and indeed the people we met were friendly and helpful.

Budget hotel, but clean with friendly staff. Lovely terrace for breakfast. Self catering kitchen available if really traveling on a budget.

Most people at the hotel are friendly

Noise, cigarette smoke, towels

Local night life and view/walk on nearby hill.

Rubbish plumbing (seems to be a Greek thing though).

Excellent location, very friendly staff, very clean and tidy rooms, great breakfast with great views, unbeatable value for money.

Enjoyed our stay here, must say family staff, cleaners and one coloured male were excellent. Nice room but pity about no natural sunlight. Would reccommend for a city trip. Thank you so much to father and daughter for jump starting our car! We will always remember your kindness!

Confusion about where to check in. We went to Drayades and waited for ages to check in but no one came. We got buzzed in 3 times and the lady in the other hotel never came to us. When we went to her there was no smile or apology. What really frustrated me was that she could actually see us waiting on her tv screen!!! This was the only bad experience. I felt as if she thought we were an inconvience to her.

I liked the family nature of the staff who worked. They generally seemed to care about what I wanted, and diid everything they could to accommodate me. Also the location is excellent, very central, allowing easy access to all tourist spots, i loved it.

Bardzo pomocna obsługa, widok z tarasu na Akropol, miejsce w miarę blisko atrakcji

La habitación, muy limpia y nueva! La atención del personal!

Goeie ontvangst, vriendelijk personeel.

freundliches Personal, super Blick auf die Akropolis, ruhige Lage, gute Bars in der Nähe

das Bad ist eine Zumutung, so ein kleines Bad habe ich noch nie gesehen, ggf. ein anderes Zimmer wählen
